Wicket

Shaggy love

I knew I wanted to rescue and I really wanted a shaggy, silly-looking dog. I adopted Wicket (known as Whitman at the time) on the first day of my first full-time job in Seattle after moving from Florida. I went right after work to pick him up. He’s been my best friend since then, through a divorce, two more jobs, and a lot of life in between.

He’s very chatty and has quite the range of grumbles and exclamations to tell ya how he feels about something. He cracks us up with his ‘schnarfels’ as we call them. Flopping into the grass and scooting his beard and body all over until he’s sniffed and rolled in it thoroughly.

Everyone needs a dog like Wicket!
