My furbaby, Chloe
So we became a one-dog household with Princess.
Sweet Princess
And that was fine....for a while. Our house just seemed, lonely. Like something was missing, even off balance. But I couldn't bear the thought of getting another dog. Five months went by and one Sunday morning I got a text from a friend. Her boss had adopted a dog and was not able to keep her. He was going to have to take her back to the shelter. My friend asked if we were interested. The dogs name was Luna and she was a Husky/German Shepherd mix. She texted me a picture of Luna and what followed was a blur of events. I went from sitting on my couch in my pjs to arranging to meet my friend's boss and Luna at a local park within the hour.
Driving there, my husband and I talked about it. "Was I crazy? Were we ready for this? What were we going to say when we met him? What were we going to do?" We decided to just wait and answer these and a million other questions when we get there.
I can count on one hand the number of moments in my life that were truly "love at first sight". This was one of them:
Luna and Randy-my two loves
We talked with Luna's owner, we walked her, he asked what we wanted to do. I remeber saying "I kind of want to take her home today." He agreed, so we did. And just like that, she was ours.
First car ride home
On June 24th, Luna celebrated her first birthday. And thanks to Groupon, I got an awesome cake from Pupcakes!
For me? What is it??
Mmmmm, cake.
Sweetly sharing...
But not for long! It's all mine!
I love that crazy, fence jumping (that's a story for another post) funny, smart little dog. She made my sad heart smile again. Happy birthday, Luna, and here's to many more!
