One Year Ago Today.......

Not Afraid · 11-12-2008, 06:05 PM

.....I feel in love. I had tried to adopt a pug for months to no avail. Too many cats was what most of the rescues said. I tried local breeders, but no litters were planned for the future. I tried the shelters, but couldn't find one. I found one at another, non-pug rescue, but was beat out by a former rescue client. Out of frustration I visited the place where several clients had gotten their dogs. It is a pet store, but they only go through carefully chosen breeders who they personally visit. I thought I'd at least take a look and ask some poignant questions.

Well, I fell instantly in love. One look was all it took from this little guy and he was mine. He chose me, so I had to choose him.

One year ago today, I brought home my little man, Thurston Howl. He's been the joy of my life, my constant companion and the best dog I've ever known. I love him beyond belief - and surprisingly enough, so does Chris, a staunch anti-dog person. This little man could win anyone's heart and soul as he has ours.

Here's a link to Thurston Howl - a Year in Review. Enjoy!

I only met Thurston briefly, but I could see in that short time why he is the apple of your eye.

Congrats on one year to the three of you!

And many more pug filled years!

He's pretty stinkin' adorable. That was so much fun when you smuggled him (and KB smuggled Draco) into our room at the Grand Cali.
