Adopting a dog can be harder than it seems. Being that an animal has been through a lot already, the new family has to go through a long application process. Kevin and I applied for three dogs: Bubba, Tosco, & Bob. We never heard anything back, and after trying to contact them, we decided it wasnt meant to be.
About two weeks ago, I received an e-mail saying that Bob had been adopted and given back because they "weren't ready for a second dog" (how nice huh?)
The woman from the rescue, Jayne, called me and we chatted about Bob and his situation. That evening, Kevin and I drove down to Northfield, MN to meet him. I couldnt believe I had butterflies: I was worried he wouldn't like me.
We pulled into the parking lot and there he was, in all his forgotten and abandoned glory.
I was in love.
I got out of the car and yelled "bob!" he jumped off Jayne's tailgate and charged towards me. I crouched down and he overwhelmed me with lots of kisses :)
We took him home and now has spent two weeks with us today. He's such a sweetheart, why anyone would want to give him up just baffles me.
(as you can see he loves to be lazy)
