New Dog
Yesterday we went down to this lovely no-kill animal shelter to pick out a dog. We've been discussing this for awhile now and had decided to rescue an older dog and then get a kitten. I figured this would be the best if one wanted to have a dog and a cat.
The process at the shelter is you are guided through all of the kennels (which are quite large) and you try to pick out someone to meet one on one. It took us two times through because my mom forgot to look at their names. All of the meeting rooms were being used so we were put in the kitchen when they brought the first dog in. I think he was a greyhound-chihuahua. Slightly larger than a normal chihuahua with a brindle coat. This poor dog was so shy he huddled by the door. The next dog was a shelti-German shepherd mix that's just under a year old. She was brought in, was a little more out-going than the previous dog but not much. Our guide checked and one of the regular meeting rooms was open so we marched down there. I sat on the sofa they had in the room and the little shelti-shepherd dog that had acted so shy jumped up beside me and kissed me on the cheek. That's basically all she wrote. We're calling today (24 hour waiting period) to adopt Lilo (actually I think we're switching it since she doesn't seem to respond to the name). Then 2 weeks after that we want to adopt her kennel mate Sebastian who is a slightly more reserved terrier mix that she seems to adore.
I don't know if cats are completely out of the picture yet, we'll have to wait and see.

I called. She's ours, but they won't deliver her until Friday! in the mean time we will probably spend a small fortune on items for her. :)
