Um, There's a Puppy at the Door

About three or four weeks ago, while my daughter and I were visiting her best friend and her mother, she (my daughter) received a picture message from her Dad. It was, of all things, a pic of a the cutest puppy -- at our house! Now, most of you know that the last thing we needed was another dog, but when has that ever stopped us? LOL So anyway, we rushed home to see the dog before it ran off, and of course fell instantly in love. Even Hubs was quite taken with her. He said when he came home from running an errand she was just standing on the deck in front of our door. How cute is that? It's as if she knew she should be here. We brought her into the house and gave her some food and water. She had a collar on, so we knew she belonged to someone.

Fast-forward three days: my daughter's best friend calls up and says she knows who the pup belongs to. My daughter was heartbroken, as she has been longing for another dog of her own since her beloved Sage passed away in January. Turned out she belonged to a guy who lived around the corner. Callie knew who he was, and also knew he was a druggie. She got his phone number and called him to let him know we had his dog. His response was, shall we say, way less than excited. He just kind of said, "Oh, OK, I'll tell my mom later. I moved out so I'm not there anymore." Long story short, we didn't want that adorable, sweet, loving dog to be raised by someone who wasn't even happy to know where she was! So Hubs told Callie to offer him money. We were all pretty certain he'd take money. We were right. So now we have another canine member of our family. :) Her name is Hemi (like the engine). Yes, my daughter is into cars. ;) She is the cutest, sweetest little thing! She's half Blue Heeler, half Pit Bull Terrier. I'll take a picture of her soon and post it here. She absolutely loves everyone and everything, and never meets a stranger. My daughter is very happy. :)
