We're Adopting!!!!

.....a long-haired chihuahua!!! I am so excited! We've been talking about getting a puppy for Jayda and have been looking around lately but today we decided to go to the pound and see if there were any small dogs that needed to be adopted. At first we walked into the room and it was SO sad! There were just cages lined up and they had a water bowl, a food bowl, and a hole to poop/pee in. Thats it. It was cold and just sad. Most of the dogs were big and so we couldn't really adopt them but there were these two other little dogs that were so cute, but they had adopted signs on their cages already. So we went out and talked to the grumpy old animal control guy and he said he had another small dog that he "forgot" to put out.




The moment I saw him I knew I wanted him. He was so hyper and happy to just be HELD! He was SO sweet and I knew we needed to get him. We originally wanted a girl and so Chase wanted to go to the Ivins Animal Shelter (a no kill shelter) to see more dogs and so we went there but it had just closed 11 minutes earlier. It was just meant to be.

I decided to name him Charlie. We went back to the other pound and paid for him. We took one other peek at him since we couldn't take him home today. He was the only dog not barking and just looked up at me like get me the hell out of here. He has to go to the vet tomorrow and get fixed. It was so hard leaving him in that gosh awful place but I'm excited for him to come join our family and Jayda is SO excited to have a little puppy to take care of. She kept saying she would feed him and walk him. Needless to say she was PISSED when we left without him.

Can't wait to have him home tomorrow and I guess he fills a little part of our empty house. I guess once you get to a point in infertility you have to adopt a dog. He'll be my little one year old newborn. :)
