| Yesterday totally sucked. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Today was good though. We went up to Ziggy Beagle Rescue, or as I like to call it, "Lauren-Heaven", in Melbourne, to see about a few dogs my mom was interested in adopting (one of). We went first to Lynne's house to see Drake, Elvis, and Buddy. Drake was kind of ...there. He wasn't overflowing with personality, and he refused to go for a walk when my mom wanted to take him outside, so that was that as far as he was concerned. Elvis was real cute, but he's scared of everything. One time a tree limb fell in the yard, and he refused to go back outside for 2 days. I was really honestly afraid that Sasha would just terrorize the poor thing. Buddy I absolutely adore. He was the sweetest thing ever. Just all friendly and affectionate and playful and everything you could want. One problem: he chews. So that was pretty much the end of that. Lynne also had 2 of her own dogs there. Gunner, a really friendly but really big (yes, Krystle, there are dogs bigger than Sasha) black lab. He was really nice. Lynne told me that she saved him from death row at a shelter. Reason for his owners, who had had him since he was a puppy, gave him up? He got too big. Don't even get me started. This is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard. That was a great dog about to be killed because of his size. IF YOU DONT WANT A BIG DOG, DONT BUY A LABRADOR RETRIEVER!! Ok, I'm better now. Lynne's mom had the funniest dog I've ever seen. Heidi, a beagle-dashchund mix. The dog was hilarious. It had all the features and coloring of a beagle, but it was about half the size, so I kept calling it a mini-Beagle. That's what it looks like. It was just a great little dog. So we left Lynne's to go to Carol's, who runs Ziggy Beagle Rescue (Lauren-Heaven). She has 40 dogs!!! That's a bit much, even for me. It was crazy. We went there specifically to see Hershey, but also to look to see if any other dog caught our eye. Carol brought hershey out, and she was absolutely adorable. She's a chocolate beagle, and just has the best personality. She was jumping up, all excited to see us, and giving us what I have named "Hershey Kisses." She was very high energy ...for about 30 seconds. Then she was on her back. "Pet my tummy!" She was just the perfect little dog for my mom, having enough laziness to sit there and be petted and do nothing for hours, but enough energy that Sasha wouldn't annoy her wanting to play all the time. We adopted her today, have a home visit tomorrow to make sure our home is beagle-friendly or something, and we leave early wednesday morning to pick her up. Happy Thanksgiving! ^_^ She's just a super-great little beagle. Drake Buddy Elvis Hershey |

DragonSpeaker | 11-22-03 10:46pm 40 is a hell of a lot of dogs. That must be hard to keep up with in terms of walking and feeding. o.0 That's so mean how they abandoned Gunner over his size. Stupid people. Hehehe, I HAVE to see Hershey when you've got her at last. ^___^ It's so great that you'll have her right when the break starts, so you'll have time off to play. :-D
