This morning, I took Julius in for his alteration (sounds like he’s having a suit tailored, doesn’t it?) and through the glass door between the clinic and the animal shelter I saw a young couple with the Chihuahua I fell in love with on Monday. I set Julius down by the counter and approached them.
"Are you guys taking him?" I asked.
"Yes, we got here at 1 this morning to make sure we were the first ones in line," the girl told me.
Wow. They slept in their car during an ice storm to get this dog. That’s committment right there.
Watching him sit in her lap and seeing how much she loved him already and how comfortable he felt with her, I knew it was the right family for that dog. It made my morning.
Do you want a pet? Please adopt a shelter animal. They are so desperate for love, and they deserve a forever home.
