mimosasmom Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi. My name is Deco Barnett. I am called Bam Bam. I ran really fast, then my leg got hurt and I got to stop racing. I spent some time on Mama Caffie's farm and rested while my leg got better, and I got to know Miss Jenn. Then this lady showed up and met me. She liked me, and brought her kids to meet me, then the Daddy. That was back in December. They told Mama Caffie that they would take me home and I would be their "foster", whatever that means. I thought I was doing OK. I repainted a wall a nice shade of yellow, and ate a few of Allison's stuffies. I thought they were mine. There are 2 other girl greyhounds here, and I like them. Finally I got the idea that it's the Daddy's job to repaint the walls, not mine, and I know I'm supposed to repaint the grass and trees instead. Things were going along fine, I thought. Then one day the Mom told me that she couldn't be my foster mom any more. She told me I was going to have a new name and that someone wanted to adopt me. WHY??? I thought I was a good boy. What's adopted? Do you think it was because I accidentally bit the cat? He only needed a few stitches to fix it, and I promised I would never do it again! Sooo, I got taken back to the adoption place. This lady gave me a BATH! I didn't like that. She also cut my toenails. Anyway, now I have a new name.... Bam Bam Tebow Wagner! My new family LOVES the Florida Gator football team, and they say I remind them of their favorite quarterback Tim Tebow because I like to plow the other dogs out of the way sometimes. Here's the best part. My new family is my same family! I am very happy here! It took me awhile to write this, because I am new at this typing thing. Here's my pictures so you can see how handsome I am. I got my own jacket: Quote Camille, Mom to Cher and Centeno!

I never realized how calm he is until the lunatic houseguest, Greta, arrived. He's a smart guy and a quick learner. That little incident with the cat was because everyone got all excited and he chased. He's never done anything like that since. Once he learns something, it sticks. PLMK ASAP if you hear when GAP day is in the fall at the track. I need to ask for the day off from work months in advance. We had a great time last year and I want to be sure to have the day off and bring everyone! I asked Shirley, and they didn't know yet, so if you hear something, please tell me!
