Today we left home with an important goal in mind - to come home with a new puppy (or any doggie really, because I'm weak when it comes to cuteness)! We arrived at Family Dogs New Life, a no-kill animal shelter, fully prepared with a long list of names of pups to look at. Imagine our surprise when our top choice - a beagle / Siberian husky mix only 6 months old - was still available and our turn to look at her was next (it pays to be woken up early for once)!
Poor Mango - she was a nervous wreck throughout our whole "meeting," but she perked up as soon as one of the employees checked in on us. I couldn't get over just how cute she was (very appropriately a "Mango") and Jim saw enough potential that we signed her adoption paperwork immediately, and drove home one family member stronger. Mango trembled in my lap the whole time home, but as soon as we were back at our apartment, she seemed better. A little anxious, but not nearly as scared.
And here's the puppy in all her glory:
Look how tiny she is! Almost just double the size of Jim's shoes!
And a little puppy falling asleep. Awww...
Little pink paws - can it get any more adorable??
PS - If you live in the Pacific Northwest and are ready to adopt a bundle of cuteness into your household, please take a moment to visit
