It all started with a picture. We knew we were ready (Beau was more than ready)
He had been begging us ever since the Summer for a Golden Retriever ( we wanted to rescue)
I wanted a female! and Of course a younger one but, not super young. We put it out there on what we wanted and 3 days before Christmas this picture showed up in my text message from Our good friend Kelly. She is a Volunteer at The League for Animal Welfare and was going to visit a Puppy she saw the week prior and could not see until that day. When she saw her and immediately sent me a picture and that's when my heart felt something that has been missing for almost 2 years This was our Dog. It happened and I could not get her out of my mind.
She would not be up for adoption until after Christmas so of course knowing we couldn't get her we wanted to surprise the boys with something that would let them know we were ready to find our DOG! We wrapped Zoey's Pink Collar and Gus's Blue one along with Dog treats and Poop bags to see of they could figure it out. With a little help from Mama and Papa the Surprise was out! We didn't say anything about her because we still had to make sure we would be the ones to see her first and with a lot of waiting and a little set back in her health we were able to finally meet her after New Years! I did tell Beau a few days before that I was able to meet a Puppy who I thought would be perfect for us and his first question '' Is she a Golden Retriever?!" " yes she is and she's also a Collie who needs a forever home!" I told him. He was excited and then we met her and we were not leaving without her!
First we stopped off at The Pet store to
grab a few essentials and they each picked out
a little toy for her!
She was a little shy at first but, after being with
her for a few hours she would warm up
taking little naps while we waited for Scott
to get there ( we all had to be present to adopt her!)
Our first family picture! January, 2 2019
We are all very Happy she is here! it has been 3 weeks and she has already learned quite a bit.
Not shy at all about making herself at home and enjoys every single Chair , Couch and Bed she can find! Loves to nip when you first greet her and loves Shoes, especially mine! We take her on long walks but, will only use the bathroom in our backyard! We had our first snow and she was in heaven!
Beau and his Good Gerl
I get to cuddle with her at night
Loves finding little spots to hide under
First trip to Madtree
She is really good on a leash
Loves her new home and toys
First trip to Washington Park
after spring like weather
This one just loves to cuddle her fully
making Henry become her friend
Loves the Car but, not riding in the Cargo
She is such a Pretty Penny
We are all very Happy that she is in Our Family ! I went through all of Zoey's
old toys and found this one, it was one I picked out for her on her 15TH Birthday
the last Birthday she was with us. It feels right giving it to This beautiful Rescued Pup.
I truly feel a familiar feeling about her... I am glad she is here and hope that we can give her all that she needs to be the best Dog ever!
