Paul and I have been wanting to get a dog for quite some time, but we've never had a living situation that accommodated that. Well, now that we have more room and a backyard, the time has come. There are a few breeds we have our hearts set on that we'd like to get as puppies, but we've always wanted to be able to get a dog from a shelter, too. So, we've been checking out the listings at our local humane society.
We went to the HS a few nights ago with some specific dogs in mind that we found online. However, you can't always choose who you love. Paul found a very cute and handsome pit bull mix. I'm very weary of pits as a breed, but this guy was a sweetheart. We took him for a walk and Paul fell in love with him. To make a long story short, we ended up leaving the shelter empty handed. The next day, Paul still had that pit on his mind, and I think we were leaning toward adopting him. Unfortunately, I later looked at the adoption listings and Paul's pit was gone. Somebody else fell in love with him, too.
So, the dog saga continues... We're going back to the HS tomorrow to see if any other dogs catch our eye. Maybe by my next post we'll have a new addition to the family :)
