Shameless advertising fo people I don't even know

3 years ago

I came here with three dogs. In the meantime they are 5,

Two adopted me since, a medium sized very spunky one, ('Twiggy' since she was only skin and bones when we met each other) that loves everyone and is loved by everyone. And a huge German Shephard (Charly) That is equally friendly but shy since many people who we met on our strolls were scared of him and he felt (and probably smelled) the fear. He is a warm very loving dog who needs to be loved back and that did not work. He saw how people patted Twiggy but stepped back when he followed. I am not anthropomorphize him, but it does not need a psychologist to see him walking towards people, who are in the midst of patting Twiggy, wagging tails, seeing their reaction towards him, tail between the legs and stopping to approach them.

This could not go on. So I was looking for patches to put on his vest. I found those veterans on eBay who had a lot of patches, but naturally all in English. I asked them therefore if they would make one for me in Spanish with the text 'Perro de Terapia / acariciando bienvenida'. They did and Charlie's life has changed. I cannot say because of the patch, or if those fearful got used to him, but THERE IS improvement.

The tag makers where incredibly helpful about tag size so that people could read from a bit away BEFORE they would try to escape that Chupacabra. If you have a similar problem, or know someone who does or want other patches with your timeless words on it:

They really do their best to create for you whatever your needs are. (I have asked and received their permission for this post)

I DO NOT receive any cut nor will you receive a special deal if you refer to me or this board, but the price is decent in the first place.

They DO NOT ship to Panama directly, but everyone here has a forwarder in the States anyway, right?
