this sweet girl was the reason I went back to the pound today. After the loss of my puppy finally became a too much to bear anymore, a close friend shared that the only other solution was to get another. I went to www.petfinder.com and visited her last week, then over Easter weekend she was placed on the "urgent" list, and that was all it took. I had to have her. I named her Basil.
She is 100% good old black labrador. And definitly has been someones indoor pet. I have joked that she has stated on several occasions since her adoption, "ahem, I was told I'd get a fan and tevo. Could you please check my contract?"
And this little pumpkin (below) was also at the pound the first time I went. She was so sweet and docile. Marked as 1 year old, so a little young for my age-range, but I promised her then that if I came back I would get her. Today after going in to pick up the big girl, this little Shepard-mix sat perfectly still, looked at me dead in the eye and said to me, "I have been quiet. I have been sweet. I have not barked once. If you leave me now, I know you'll never be back."
And I started to cry. So I got both. Her name is Maggie.
I am terribly in love with them both. And I suppose the feeling is probably mutual.
