Happy tails update on rescue dog-Cobain!
I photographed Cobain for Dog Gone Seattle back in February of 2018. I rarely hear about where the dogs I photograph end up, but once in a while, an adopter will reach out to me since I had photographed their pup. That was the case with Danielle- Cobain's new mom! I just love her story and hearing about how loved and happy Cobain is now- so I am going to share with you all what she shared with me. I think we could all use a happy ending right about now
How old am I - 3.5 years old
My favorite toy is - I LOVE stuffed toys but mom doesn't let me have them because I eat them...so my second choice would be my spiky squishy ball or large tug rope.
My favorite treats are - raw marrow bones...cat poop if I can get to it...
My favorite thing to do is - Play with toys, doggy daycare, sleep
My favorite place to take a walk is- Walk around the wetlands behind where we live...there are LOTS of birds there!
One word to describe me would be- #Naughtyangelbaby
"My name is Danielle and I adopted Cobain in September 2018 after going through a sudden (to me) divorce and subsequent move to Port Townsend from San Diego earlier in the year. Although I gained 3 (yes three!) cats in the divorce, I'm really a dog person at heart and was looking for a buddy to do things with. The photos of Cobain were SO striking and I although I initially thought "whoa, he looks like an intense dude," I just knew I had to meet him.
Since then, I have moved back to Northern California and had additional life twists and turns. From Cobain, I've learned patience, boundaries, and the ability to have compassion for the wounded parts of myself I thought were unlovable. I joke that he is my "Naughty Angel Baby" because he is really all of those things to me and I love him so much. Once we can save up enough to buy a house, we're hoping to move back to Washington where Cobain can have a big yard of his own...and maybe even get a doggie sister.
If you're wondering about his breed, we did his DNA and it came back 50% American Pit Bull Terrier, 34% Rat Terrier, and 16% Doberman. "
