When I met my husband, he told me he had a Rottweiler and that he and his dog Tyson came as a package deal. There was no splitting these two up. I was falling hard for this boy and had to accept that he loved his dog. Justin loved dogs but I was always hesitant since I had been jumped on when I was really young and was freaked our ever since. Since then he has always wanted a friend for Tyson. I asked if he would wait. He agreed. I told him that if we do get another dog, it has to be a puppy since I have never experienced it before as this would be my first dog ever that is really mine. He agreed to that too. Almost four years later, he is getting another four legged furry friend. I always would always postpone it by saying lets wait till we get our own house [march 2010], lets wait till we are engaged [july 2010], lets wait till I'm done with school [may 2011], lets wait till after the wedding [oct 2011], lets wait till after the honeymoon [dec 2011], lets wait till after the holiday's [dec 2011], and then I ran out of excuses. Along the way he would always email me links to websites for puppies and then decided that instead of getting a puppy from a breeder that we should rescue a puppy. He then found Adopt a Pet which had so many options. We decided that any pup we find that we like from here on out we would see how much the adoption fee is and go from there. We found two that we liked wednesday night, and they were both at the same foster home and then this morning we called and drove to Arizona to see them. There names were Pearl and Lizzie. Justin like Pearl, an all black lab mix and I like Lizzie a lab/ shepard that had the same color coat as Tyson. Justin wanted me to have the entire experience like he did with Tyson, so he let me pick which one and then I had to name her too. This morning we slept in and when we woke up we called the foster family. They said that Lizzie and Pearl were still available and that we could come and see them. I grabbed the first piece of paper that I could find and wrote down the directions. We hopped in the truck and started driving. No matter how long the road trip is, we always have to stop at Starbucks first!
I chose Lizzie and renamed her: little miss LOLA!
The foster family told us they found Lola and six of her brother and sisters behind a building when they were 5-6 weeks old in a milk crate.
The foster family will be bringing her to Vegas Saturday morning after she is spayed tomorrow. We can't wait to have Tyson meet his new little sister!!
