My story

🐾 A Day Out With Lemon Meringue! 🐾 ✨ Field Trip — Through My Eyes! ✨ Hi everyone! It’s me, Lemon Meringue (ASC #91342)… your friendly, wiggly, peanut-butter-loving adventure girl! Today was my best day ever, so I thought I’d tell you all about it myself. šŸ’› First off… the car. Getting in the car? Easy! I almost hopped right in all by myself—just needed a tiny boost for my back legs. Getting out of the car? Ummm… absolutely not. No thank you. I am a statue. My new friend had to lift me because I am a ā€œbig girl.ā€ I prefer to be chauffeured in style, okay? Once we got moving though… WOW. So! Many! Smells! We went for a long walk and I even ran a bit. Running is cool but not really my thing—I prefer trotting around underfoot like a happy little shadow. Safety first! šŸ˜‰ Then… PARK TIME! We took pretty pictures and I posed like the supermodel I am. If birds or cars go by, I point at them like a fancy hunting dog. I even did it from INSIDE the car. I take my job seriously. Next stop… PETSMART!! This was my FAVORITE. I met soooo many new humans (I LOVE humans!!). I wagged at everyone and they all asked to pet me because apparently I’m irresistible. A little boy even said I should be named Hershey Kisses because of my color and all the kisses I give. šŸ’‹šŸ« AND—you will not believe this—I picked out my own treats. Peanut butter ones. I may or may not have pulled them off the shelf repeatedly until my friend got the hint. What can I say? I’m a girl who knows what she wants. After that we went to my new friend’s house, and I explored ALL the toys. I even found this weird rolling thing humans call a skateboard. I had no idea what it was, but I bravely put my front paws on it—even while it rolled! My friend said I ā€œskipped stepsā€ because I’m so confident. Maybe next time I’ll learn to ride it like a pro. šŸ›¹āœØ I didn’t bark all day. Not once. Even when a big off-leash dog charged at us, I greeted them with happy tail wags and polite sniffing. I love dogs, I love kids, I love people, I love snacks… honestly I love everything. I am affectionate, laid-back, social, and maybe… just a little underfoot sometimes. I give hugs (and yes, I might jump up for them). I had some trouble settling down after all the excitement, but it was worth it. šŸ’› My Favorite Part of the Whole Day: Meeting soooo many new friends! I ended the day tired, happy, and full of peanut butter treats. I’d rate my adventure a 10/10 and I can’t wait for my next outing! Maybe I’ll even master that skateboard… Love, Lemon Meringue šŸ’›šŸ¾ Your medium-energy, people-loving, treat-motivated adventure buddy

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lemon Meringue, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
