A new friend!

    Our family has grown! A few weeks ago, I was visiting the shelter. Like always, there were so many wonderful pooches there, but no one really stood out for me. Feeling a bit disappointed, I began to leave, but as I was rounding a corner, I saw him. He was wet, and small, a little terrier mix, and I fell head over heels in love with him at first sight. I bolted to the front desk and inquired about the scruffy fellow. He was a stray, from out of county, he had come in only an hour before. He was in impound and would not be available for adoption for 15 days (aaaaaaargh!). So I put in the paperwork and waited. I visited him after work every few days, and gradually he began to recognize me. Finally, on Wednesday, he got to come home with us! The first day was rocky (he's a runner, apparently). But we are in love with him. He is between the ages of 1-2 years old, and is already housebroken (score!!!). He is sweet, and funny. He gets along with the kids and other animals. He is snuggly and smart. After a few trial names, we settled on "Sir Didymus" after the brave sheepdog-riding terrior in The Labyrinth. He appears to be the muttiest sort of mutt (yorkie/corgi/schnauzer/chupacabra??)




    Pretty freaking cute, amiright??? He is perfect, and is healing our hearts. We really, really love him.
