snapshot saturday 2.0

it has been a crazy, yet wonderful, week.
and the BEST way to celebrate this glorious weekend would be to share with you,
 snapshot saturday 
version 2.0 :)




This pic is me and my main main Ozzy, when he was just a young pup, in March 2008.
I adopted Ozzy from a rescue shelter, he was there with his mother (Queenie, the corgi) and his brother and sister.  I initially wanted a girl dog, so that I could dress her up in frills and paint her nails,
 but Oz-man's sister was already adopted.  
I picked Ozzy because he was the smallest and all black and just a bucket of adorable.
These dogs needed homes because the former owners of Queenie (who was preggers at the time) were tragically killed in a fire at their home.  
They found Queenie in the back of the house at the time of rescue.



Adopting a dog was the greatest learning experience that I have had up until this point.
I learned that they were expensive, especially if they have more allergies than you! :)
I have also learned the value of unconditional love.
Now, I brag on how adorable he is everyday, either here or to anyone who will listen, but the truth is he is such a little prince.  He loves everyone. 
EVERYONE!
I'm a strong advocate of adopting a dog, or any animal, from a shelter or humane society.
If you want to know more about my experience, or have any questions, email me.

Thanks for reading all about my little man.  If you're not a dog person, that's cool, too.
I'm allergic to cats.

  4. What a little sweetie. I have two crazy dogs who I love unconditionally. I'm an advocate of rescue dogs for sure, but am also a big advocate of "you made the comittment to the dog, you keep it". I understand there are always circumstances but it kills me to see people give up on them. My dogs are my babies.

    I love cats too but my Husband claims he's allergic ;)

  7. What an adorable dog! My husband and I have a Mini Schnauzer who is adorably bad and he is one of the best things we've ever had the privilege to spend money on :) I love the thing at the end. Seeing how much they absolutely adore you does make you want to be the best person you can be. So nice to read a dog-lover post!
