Directions

Bastian A cute rescue that came into my life when I least expected. As I often heard, he rescued me and I am just here to join him on an amazing life together.

My life journey began sometime in 2015 (my given B-Day is April 15). I ended up in a high kill shelter in California. Luckily a wonderful lady came and rescued me. A couple days after being rescued, I got really sick and almost died. With her help and her ability to reach out to other rescue groups, they saved me. They think I may have had distemper as I tested positive. It was caught early and due to the medical help I received quickly, I recovered. For this, I want to reach out to all who helped and supported me during this dark time. Thank You. This is not the end of my journey, my new Rescue Mommy (who named me Spike) flew me home to NJ with her and I met all her four-legged friends some of who were also rescues, including one who looks almost like me, Buddy, but is unable to walk but gets around with a wheelie! He is a good friend to me. Well, I gained weight and it was time to find my “furever” family. That’s when I found out my new Daddies had already followed my journey on Facebook and was watching over my progress. They recently lost their best pals and didn’t realize I would end up filling that void. To make a long story short, I met them and knew immediately that this must be my place. I seem to look just like all their past pals all rolled up into one. I even have the same traits as all of them in one little bundle. I’m home now with a new name, Bastian; and I’m ready to begin a new journey. One that is going to be the envy of even my human friends. Join me now on this journey and see where I go next! NOTE FROM DADDIES: Please reach out and support these rescues who make a huge difference in not only the lives of those they save but for the humans who adopt. This is just one small rescue dog that was saved with the help of a community of rescue groups when the medical bills piled up quickly. There are rescue groups that go through this every single day. So reach out and support them. A little pocket change really does save a life (human and dog).

A few more stops before I get home. I've traveled through Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas so far. Seen some interesting animals along the way, and a stop at a place in Dallas where a terrible thing happened way before I was born. Never expected to see this part of the country, as it wasn't planned. Anyway, I'm finally getting closer to home, and I can almost smell it.

Off tomorrow for our trip back home to Arizona. Had a great Summer with our family and treats from my favorite lady down the road (Sara). Lots of walks and no leash needed! Can't wait until next year!

When my daddies love me so much, they do whatever they can to keep me dry in the rain.

Daddy is telling me we only have a few more weeks here on the East Coast before we head back to AZ. This month, we visited where I used to live in NJ and went shopping, went to the boardwalk, and enjoyed our place in PA, running free without a leash!

I'm half way through my PA Home trip. Here are the highlights so far. Hot and humid when we got here and since then it has been mostly cloudy and rainy. I went on side trips to Lancaster and to Pittsburgh. Getting ready for my second half of the trip with more visits to NJ! Six more weeks!

I left Canada and am now going to our PA property after a quick W**e Country trip along Lake Erie. We'll be in PA for the next several months. Had fun visiting everyone and enjoyed camping and taking in all the smells. But first, we are headed to several wineries!

Still traveling! Tomorrow is Canada. Went through St. Louis, MO (all roads East go here apparently). Saw some Fake Doggie Duckies and Fake Doggie Cowies. Daddy took me to a Motorhome Museum, I wasn't that impressed as I wasn't allowed to lift my leg anywhere inside to let other doggies know I was there. Then there is apparently another Museum to Daddy? Had lunch with some AZ friends where I ordered Chicken, my fav. All in all, I've had some fun but it's been tiring and I'm bored if I don't get to play ballie.
