Mallie Boo Takes Over and Interviews Harley

Hello friends! Well, the votes were tallied and it was a tie! But Pookah has been feeling under the weather, so Mallie Boo will be writing the blog! You guys can read all about me from when Lenny interviewed me. I'm still a little nervous and shy, but I'm hoping taking over the blog will help me come out of my shell. The pick for my first interview was easy. I picked Harley, because he's cute. Well, to be honest, I picked him because he is blind and I thought that wouldn't be too intimidating for my first cover piece. So here goes!

So Harley, how did you find youself here at NAHS?
Great question, Mallie Boo, and thanks for taking time to talk to me! I had a family for nine years, but they've been through some changes in the past year. They had three kids, and two of those kids had special needs. My family really loved me, but they were so busy they couldn't pay a lot of attention to me. As the kids got bigger, they wanted to play with me but I would be scared because I couldn't see them coming. In the end, my family thought they would give me a chance to find someone with the time to snuggle me, and I sure hope they're right. Everyone here at NAHS is nice to me and makes sure I feel safe and comfortable, but I do get lonely for a family to call my own.

What kind of family are you looking for?
Well, I love all sorts of people! I think the perfect family would be somebody patient while I learn the layout of my new home. I'm used to bumping into walls and it doesn't bother me, but it might be a little scary for my new people to watch! I would also like to either be an only dog or have a dog that will be patient and understanding of my disability. I still love to play and snuggle, so a family with a big heart is most important.

What sorts of things do you like to do in your free time?
I keep busy, that's for sure! I love to take naps, eat yummy food, play with my people, get attention from volunteers, and squeak my squeaky toys. Some folks think that I've slowed down because of my age, but that's not neccessarily the case. I'm not as active as most other Jack Russels but I still love to go on walks and play. I think I'll be around for a long time to come!

Thanks for the interview! It wasn't as scary as I thought it might be! I hope you get a home soon, Harley! Be seeing you!
