Fernando’s New Year’s Day

fernando-by-kevin-goldsmith-3

“Today started out like most others. I slept in (I always do that) and then Mom put my red sweater on me so I growled at her (I always do that) and then I gave Mom kisses because she needed them (I always do that, too) and then it was time for breakfast. Scrambled eggs, yum! Dad wanted to go for a drive in the mountains so all my sisters loaded into the truck; I got to sit in the highest car-seat, so I could see everything (even though I can’t see very good). For the next 2 hours I listened to Mom and Dad talk about the New Year (even though I can’t hear very good). They talked about Harley’s Dream and all the great plans they have to teach people about puppy mills (they always talk about that). After we got back home we ate carrots and watched Dr. Doolittle (I love that movie). Soon it will be suppertime, so I’ve gotta go.  I sure love my life! Happy New Year, everybody! Love, Fernando”

  6. Fernando I enjoyed your story. I was thinking about Harley’s dream this morning. It was nice to know your mom and dad are keeping it alive. Your story bought me a lot of comfort. Happy New Year to you and all your family.

  7. Happy New Year Fernando…Make all your wishes come true this 2017 year. ♥

  8. Fernando…have you always been one of those “cranky” chihuahuas? Lol, my Taco is too but try to be nice in this new year!

  9. You look so cute in your sweater . My Herbie used to growl and then give kisses also. Thanks so much for working for Harley’s Dream. You are also a hero

  10. Your mom and dad are so wonderful and so are you sweet Fernando. It sounds like a wonderful day. Love you and your sisters. 💗

  11. So happy you now have a life filled with love, Fernando. You have the best family ever!!

  12. Fernando, you are such a cool dude! I have a little Chihuahua that I adopted from the shelter too. His name is Gizmo. When I put on his sweater, he gives me a little growl too, but then promptly kisses my hand when it’s in place. Too funny! You are doing a great job and your mom and dad and siblings are inspirations to us all to keep fighting and educating people about puppy mills. I miss Harley so much, but I know he is in a beautiful place without any pain and without any animal cruelty. Keep up the good work in 2017. We will NOT give up Harley’s dream of no more puppy mills.

  17. Bless your little baby dog heart, Fernando. Sounds like you had a pretty good New Years day. My little Kia, who is a rescue, always tries to ‘play’ bite me when I take her sweater off. About how old do you think you are? You’re just precious. I used to read about Harley all the time. Now, I’ll read about you! Bye bye for now.

  18. Sounds like a great way to start the New Year. Will be waiting for the next installment. Be kind to the sisters Fernando.
