A living memorial for your animal companion

BRODY HENRIQUEZ

Brody...let me tell you about Brody. His pictures don't do him any justice. I fell in love with him the moment I saw his pictures. I saw him posted on the ZCN at work. It is our company newsletter. I already had 2 dogs, and not necessarily wanting the addition, but after seeing his photos, I just couldn't resist, so I contacted his current owner, Rockne. I heard back from Rockne that he had already found him a home and he would let me know if that didn't work out. I said okay, and thought to myself that was the end of that. Happy to know Brody was in a good home. Well, it didn't end there. Rockne called me back a week or so later to tell me it wasn't working out with the new home because Brody was not doing well with the cats there. After telling my boyfriend about Brody, he was firmly against bringing in another dog, because of the added responsibility. I didn't care..no didn't mean a thing to me. I was gonna get what I wanted, Brody. Why was I so attached to him? I have no idea, I just was very drawn to him. I eventually talked my boyfriend into letting us bring him into the family. When Rockne drove up with him, and I saw his face in person through his car window, I fell even more in love. He was extremely sweet, and very well trained. I was at odds with why he had to be taken out of his original home, because of how much attention Rockne put into him. I was impressed but couldn't wrap my head around why it just couldn't work. Whatever, he was home with us, and we were gonna get him to do better than he was doing before. He definitely suffered from separation anxiety, as we were unable to even crate him. He would just break out of it. We couldn't even keep him behind the baby gate, he would just jump over it. He ate everything he possibly could put in his mouth when we weren't home, so we had to make sure everything was cleaned up everyday before leaving for work. The time I spent with him, and my other dogs started to get him used to the fact he was at home, which was a great transition. HE was getting comfortable with us, and starting seeing us as his family. What an amazing feeling.
