I love all the stories!!
Mine is not so poignant a story but a cute one. Hubby and I had sister cats that were getting up in age and I made a comment one day that when the day comes, could we look at maybe getting a dog for companionship. He'd had dogs before where I didn't have any of my own, but had, had roommates with dogs. We toyed with the idea and actually visited some dogs. Well, the dog I picked up was very aromatic and when we left, I had gotten over my curiousity of dogs and kinda gave up the notion of having one.
Long story short, 2 weeks before Christmas hubby came home and had me sit on the couch while he handed me my Christmas present early - a big bag and told me to be careful. I had no idea of what it could be; all of a sudden I saw something move and I screamed. lol When I was able to focus, I saw that it was a tiny little thing with the sweetest face. I was in love.
Hot Rod was so fuzzy, lol. His hair was so ragged that he looked like an ewok. I haven't stopped loving on him since and Maggie May just completes out little family. |
