    Adopting a dog

     



    The time has come to fill that void in our lives. Meet Etta she's the dog we're trying to adopt from Stray Rescue. We had gone to look at two their dogs but because they were a bit temperamental & shy around new people so Craig said we should look at this another dog. He told about Etta & said he bet she'd be the right dog for us. Well he brought her out, tail wagging happily & she warmed right up to us & even gave us both kisses several time.
    So hopefully sometime next weekend Craig will show up w/Etta to see if she'd like to stay w/us. Hopefully she'll love her new yard to play in & love us as much as our other dogs did....joe

    She's a great looking dog! I hope she loves her new digs and you all can become a family!

    It's great that you can open your home and your heart to a stray in need of a family when there are so many.

    Here's to hoping that she fits right in and you all can have a wonderful 2012!

    I hope she is the right pup for you. She looks like she's smiling in the picture and just waiting to warm some folks hearts. I can assure you that they can do that just like our pup Callie has done for us these past months

    Joe,
    I like your title, "Adapting a Dog", and she looks like a dandy!! If the adoption works I predict that you'll be the ones adapting.

    Good for you Joe. She will be lucky to have a great home and family. And I agree with everyone else she does look like she's smiling!
