While holiday shopping today, we stopped outside of PetSmart to look at some dogs for adoption from the Animal Rescue of the Rockies. Through all of the chaos and puppies, I saw a cute terrier on a man's lap. Could it possibly be? This dog looked just like our Andre! I couldn't resist and went over to meet this furry cutie. This is when I learned the story of Eddy. Eddy had just been brought to Colorado yesterday, the result of an animal hoarding rescue out of state. As we talked to the man, I couldn't stop looking into the alert, but sad eyes of this ten year old silky terrier. This dog captured my heart in just a minute. He looked just like Andre's scruffy brother. :)
So you are probably thinking I'm going to say we now have three dogs? We we don't. We are still happy with our Andre and Taylor, but today reminded me of how lucky we are to be loved by our boys.
Every dog deserves and safe and happy home... And every person should know the love of a dog. The power of love is an amazing thing! Eddy is not available for adoption yet, and from the look in the man's eyes... I believe he will not be adopted out until the perfect home comes along. Good luck Eddy!
So after coming home and giving my boys a hug (and a kiss on the nose)... I learned about another dog! This one is not furry and does not bark... so what did I eat? I ate my first chili dog! Yes, I ate a chili dog with Jim's homemade turkey chili and I have to admit I enjoyed it. :)
So after a busy day, I'm settling down to finish my laundry and start week five of my marketing management class. With the Thanksgiving season upon us, I take time to be thankful for all three of my amazing boys!
