we took Lola, our lab to the shelter to play. It's cool as there's a huge fenced in area for them to run... She got along great with Rookie and Dusty

We got her!!!!!!!!! It was kind of nerve wracking.. We had the home visit on the weekend.... sat on pins and needles waiting to see if we were the applicant to be able to adopt Rookie. There were 3 other families applying for her. But we got her!!!!!
She's home now!

She's such a cutie! You're a great family for doing that. I couldn't. Like you I'd come home with one, or more. My dog's been gone for about 3 years now and I really miss having a four legged kid at home.

That is awesome. We had to wait a week to find out if we got our dog.

It is sooo nerve wracking eh... we waited 4 days...When they did the home inspection, all of the kids and the animals were on their best behavior.
PHEW!!!!!!
She's snuggled in bed with us right now.

awww sorry about your pup. :(. I don't know what I'd do with myself if not for the kids and animals. People say to us.."wow you have a house full"... Yup we do.. a house full of love!

She had a rough start (we got her when she was about 3 and suspect she was abused), but had 14 loving years with us. We have lots of great pictures and memories.

I would love to see pics of her. I would love to see everyone's pics of rescued or fostered dogs.

In my head
Absolutely fantastic!

That there is why I cannot go the shelters any more. I want to bring all them doggies home.

Happy to see another unwanted doggie placed in a good home.
