We got a dog!!!!

So over the past two weeks or so I've been perusing

the web like a crazy lady for a little pupster.

This all started when Tom thought I was getting

him a puppy for Christmas...

Tom has unfulfilled puppy for Christmas wishes ;)

I wasn't getting him a puppy, I was actually going to get him a turtle.

Tom has ALWAYS wanted a turtle.

So I was going to get one for him...

Well the turtle plan was squished the instant

I thought about actually getting a dog.

Then I went online and started looking

for pups that needed adopting.

Seeing all of those sweet sweeeeeet faces

just confirmed that this was indeed happening.

So I'm allergic to sheddy dogs so

I was looking at a small group of breeds

that were light to no shedding pups.

Which FIRST of all led me to George.

I'm going to tell you a little about George just

in case there is someone out there that could

adopt this little bundle of love!!!

George was born paralyzed so he can't

use his back two legs.

He has a little doggy wheel chair

that helps him get around.

Even though he's paralyzed his little tail

still wags when he see's you because he's happy.

It's a doggy miracle!!

Just look at him!!!

I.CANT.EVEN!!!

We fell IN LOVE with George.

& I cried when I found out we couldn't get him.

He's in Arizona and it's just too far

for us to travel to get him.

And as much as I lovveeee him

I don't think we're equipped to handle

this beautiful pup and his specialness.

If you live in Arizona and you

want a sweet pup to love on you should

look up George.

You can use Tom's idea and put

racing stripes on his chair ;)

Here's their FB page.

So the dog hunt continued.

I emailed many shelters 

and sent out a ton of adoption applications

but I always seemed to be a day late for the pup.

Then Winston came into view

and that instant love connection returned.

Winston was left at the shelter by his previous

family because they didn't have time for him.

I have time, give him to meeee!!

I sent the application in and we were

contacted soon after about coming to pick him up.

Winston is a Morkie.

That's a Maltese/Yorkie

but he's definitely more Yorkie

than anything else.

We found out last night that he's CANADIAN!!!

How fun is that??

Tom is British and Winston is Canadian ;)

We're so diverse over here.

He's a healthy little pup, he's on the skinny side

so we're going to be working on slowly getting

some meat on his bones.

He's the sweetest pup!!!

He loves to be cuddled and take naps.

He's quiet but I think that's because this is all new.

He should liven up a bit as time goes on.

He loves people, he goes up to everyone.

He can walk on his hind legs for like...a long time!!

I foresee Tom teaching him some tricks as

soon as he get's here in January.

Tom and I both decided on making this dog our dog.

So we can't wait for Tom to get here so we can be

a little doggy family ;)

The mush comes out when something so

cute is sleeping at your feet ;)
