The Adopted: New Home, New Family


Hi! Welcome to my first blog post! I am Gregory, a yellow Labrador. This blog post is solely dedicated to me and created by my dear big sis, MJ Crave.

Anyway, Im'ma 'bout to tell you my everyday life; not just a mere house dog but how I live and enjoyed the camaraderie I shared with my family, the Crave Family. 

Yellow Labrador's Journey



T'was 4 months ago, December 1, 2011 when I first came to a new home. Before, I lived with my mom and dad with my 9 siblings; there were 7 boys and 3 girls. I was 5 months at that time when these 2 strangers came, a man and a woman and together with them is my previous master. I was a bit curious who they were for their faces are not familiar to me.

The white woman walked towards our cage where me and my other siblings stayed. Her face is sweet and she wore eyeglasses. She smiled to all of us and like any good-natured dogs, most especially like our breeds, we buzz around and yelp happily. As a return, she smiled back.

On the other hand, the tall man was talking with my previous master. We were all curious what they were talking about. I don't know but I really felt nervous at that time. After a couple of minutes or so, the man  and my previous master walked towards the woman who was in front of us, with a big, genuine smile.

The man reached out his hands towards us, patted our heads as we yelp joyfully. We sensed that these 2 people are good and loving so we easily felt at ease with them around. The man picked me up and out of my cage and placed me on his lap. The woman gently stroked my back.

An hour had passed and I suddenly found myself placed in a medium-sized carton lined with newspaper. I don't know why I was put there but based on my hunch at that time, I'm gonna leave the house as well my family. This made me yelp sadly ofcourse since this is going to be my first and last day with them. In other words, I am going to be adopted by new masters in a new and unfamiliar environment.

My New Home


Apparently, at that time, I don't have a name yet when I arrived at my new home. We were in the taxi cab going to my new home. I heard this woman named "mommy" talking to the man named "daddy" about naming me as their new pet. Mommy blessed me by the name "Gregory", named after the famous doctor in a series "House, M.D.", Gregory House to be exact.

We arrived at my new home. A medium sized bungalow fit for a small family of 5 people. However, I never thought that there was another mutt in the house as well. She was barking as mom, dad and me came in. She was at the door actually. She is covered with a silky and black fur and when she had a glimpse of me, she suddenly just jumped while mom was still holding me in her arms.

"Coraline!" said mom. Then mom, gently placed me onto the floor and Coraline was running around me, like I felt she was kinda jealous because there was a new mutt in the house (I was referring to myself ofcourse :D ). I was really afraid of Coraline but I know that Coraline's reaction was just normal since for all I know, she's the only dog around the house and been with the family for a long time. Never encountered any other breed of dogs.

Meet the Other Family Members


Me and Mj


Later in the evening, I've met the other members of the family. Mom and dad had three human children. The eldest named Ging-ging, second is BJ and third is Maree. When they saw me, I saw their wide smile and excitingly cuddled me. T'was a great pleasure being welcomed by these kids. With my new home, I really felt belonged because they don't treat me just their pet but a new member of the family. More like a brother and a son.
