Got a text from DD yesterday. Her husband’s sister was going to take their dog to the humane society by noon if no one took it. We took one look at the picture and couldn’t say no.
She’s a Havanese and ended up being a purebred puppy at three months old. They have two kids under 2 and at least one cat and it’s winter here in Michigan. Really no wonder they couldn’t handle it. It’s no fun training a dog in the winter.
Oh well, I wasn’t looking for a dog but was open to one in the future. I guess the future unfolds at its will and you either go for it our you don’t. We went for it. Not that it was a factor, but I soon realized that we got a dog that they probably paid around $1500 or more for. No wonder they shed a tear when they said goodbye to the dog. That hurt personally and financially. Ouch. Well, we’re glad it didn’t go to the pound, though I doubt it would have been there a day.
Haven’t figured out what to name her yet, but Annabel is raising to the top of our list. The previous owners called her Darla, from the little rascals. That’s not too bad either.
I guess I now have a project for the winter. The weather looks bad the next couple days, so this should get interesting. I think I’m up for it. I wouldn’t have considered this at all if I was still working. Wish me and DW luck!
