Kai
July 7, 2009
Hi everyone:
It’s Kai, formerly known as Maggie’s Champion in my old life. I just wanted to give a shout out to my friends all over the world to let you know what I’m doing these days. As you may know, some wonderful people in Taiwan saved my life when I really needed help and took me to the doctor to fix my broken leg and pelvis.
When I was all better, they put me on an airplane and flew me to Los Angeles where I was met by a really nice lady named Cheryl, her husband and 14-year old son. She said they were going to take me to their house. When we got there, I thought man this is the coolest house I have ever seen. You know, I could live here… Cheryl had lots of friends for me to meet: Jackson, Moses, and China to name a few.
After three weeks of hanging with the Cook family, I got to meet my new forever family… Sonsee, David and their 7-year old golden girl, Lani. We all had a nice time talking and cookies were had by everyone. I liked them and I know they liked me because they kept petting me and then I went home with them.
These days I’ve gained a few pounds; spend time practicing my English; walking the neighborhood saying hi to Justa, Chip and Roxy, and taking nice walks at the beach with another friend, Denise, and her 3 golden boys, Moseby, Fletcher and Cooper. All of the sights and smells are just amazing especially since I had never seen a beach before.
Here at my house I have 3 different beds to sleep on and so many toys to play with. Sometimes, I just have to play with them all! My favorite activities are riding in the car, going for walks, and did I mention cookies? I love to eat but even though I have a ways to go I have to be careful to keep my waistline looking good. My Mom says I have this annoying habit of trying to steal food. It’s hard for me to understand that I don’t have to do that anymore but I will eventually learn that there will always be food here.
In two days, I will start my physical therapy and walk on an underwater treadmill, whatever that is…I hope they have cookies!
My Mom and Dad are so grateful for the people at ARTT and the wonderful Barbara, Denise, and Cheryl of GRCGLA Rescue for giving me this awesome new life in San Clemente. Thanks for all that you do.
Oh, and to my old friends in Taiwan, I miss hearing your voices and I hope to see some of you again. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine now. LIFE IS GOOD!
Love,
Kai, formerly Champion
