Hello there. My name is Zelinda.



The lady over there engrossed in her toy is my big sister, Zelda. Zelda and I are the daughters of Zara, who just got rehomed the other day.



The two of us are a wee bit shy around people. Actually, we’re really interested in people and we do want to play with them, it’s just that we don’t know the proper way to act around them. Our father was super good at hanging around with people, so we should’ve been able to follow his example, but unfortunately we just ended up depending on him for everything.

Now we follow the example of all the dogs around us, which means we bark. (But don’t think our parents’ raised us poorly or anything! Our mom and dad loved us to bits.)

The other day, some mail came from the people who adopted our father, and we saw what it was like living in a new, safe, happy home. We feel your happiness, Zara! So my sister and I were talking and decided we should continue trying to improve our behavior, but still it’s difficult for us to be sweet and cuddly around people we’re meeting for the first time. We still get a little nervous.

Do you think someone might show up who understands our behavior and adopt us?



But there’s one important thing I got from my father.
“When you’re having trouble, use this.”
That’s what my father said when he left the thing with us.



Next time, when a potential adopter comes, I’ll use my courage and go for it! Someone will surely get interested in me then...
