My boyfriend and i went to the animal shelter last weekend to "just look" at the dogs there and walk some of them for the day. After walking all of the adult dogs ( everyone wants to give attention to the puppies, so we purpousely walk the older dogs when we visit.) and taking them outside to the doggie runs, we fell in love with one dog called "Noah". He was found on a street called Noah Lane near my boyfriends house, so that's how he got his name. We left the shelter that day after spending several hours playing with and walking the dogs. I mentioned to Colin how much i liked Noah...and he didn't really respond, so i went about the next two days thinking he wasn't planning on adopting a dog for a while....boy was i happily mistaken! Last tuesday afternoon, he picked me up from work when my car was in the shop and we stopped by his house for a bit. When we got out of the truck, he told me he wanted to show me the new sprinkler system he had set up in his backyard....i thought nothing of it since he is the biggest Home Depot freak i know....but when Colin opened the fence, Noah was sitting right there wagging his tale at me!!! i was so excited to see him! Colin had pulled the best surprise on me and i couldn't be happier...We both have fallen in love with the him and we changed his name to Fosters since it sounded more Australian than Noah. He is already spoiled rotten and will enjoy a long happy life with us without ever having to worry about going to another animal shelter. I've been going to visit Fosters and Colin on my breaks from work and every chance i get ( we live at different homes). So he is already spoiled rotten. Colin's even planning on building a completely insulated ( heated, air conditioned) doggy house for him just to hang out in when he wants. And he sleeps in the bedroom at night already lol. here is a link to his webpage...i only have a few picks up there of him right now. I'll have to take my digital camera over to Colins to get some good pictures of our new furbaby. I'm so excited another shelter dog is going to have a happy ending, and best of all, it's with the man i love. hehe!!!
