Yesterday morning’s weather was abominable.
Abominable.
Like the snowman.
Thankfully, breakfast made up for the weather.
Warm, cinnamony Snickerdoodle Oatmeal.
Dear spellchecker, “cinnamony” is too a word. Don’t you know anything??
Usually, rainy days are reserved for staying inside with a warm drink and a good book. Yesterday, however, I had somewhere special to go. October is “Adopt a Pet” month, and even though I’m not over the death of my dog (and I never will be), I know I can offer a good home to a lonely puppy.
Can you believe this guy was scheduled to be euthanized?
He looked so sad in his crate; it would’ve been impossible to not take him home. If you’re ever thinking of buying a dog, please consider adoption so that adorable pups like this one won’t be put down.
I really want to call him Batman. (Check out those ears!) But my sister informs me this would be cruel and I must give him a proper name. So far, he-who-must-not-be-named seems to be getting along with Henry, my other dog. Henry pretty much ignores the puppy.
Grumpy Henry.
What a lovely puppy! I have a dog, three cats, a hamster, a guinea pig…I love pets 🙂
Aw, you saved him! He’s adorable. I think Batman would be an awesome name…
Thank you so much for rescuing a dog whose time was up rather than buying him from a breeder! He’s adorable and he deserves a wonderful life with you.
Must have totally missed it…what are you calling him then? I think Oliver goes well with Henry!
Ok, we have 2 cats, 1 dog (Greyhound/German Shepherd mix…she’s odd looking but awesome!) and 1 tortoise. He’s pretty cool tortie to have around…but he’s ornery!
Haha still don’t know yet! Right now, I’m just trying out all different names and seeing what sounds “right.”
AWWWW I WANT HIM!! so so cute!! And Batman is a GREAT name- I used to have a dog called Batman so I’m biased 😉
Aww! You SHOULD call him Batman! I’m pretty sure he would feel like superhero. Besides that, you could tie a cape on him and do an action photoshoot and then (like in the original Batman show) add the sound effects in text clouds: BIF! POW! BOP! Yup, coolest dog on the block.
I think I need a puppy.
I think Batman would be a great name! I’m so glad you adopted – I wish everybody would do this.
Thank you for this positive message – it is so true! You must always adopt when possible, it saves so many lives.
And yum – I always love ideas to change up my morning oatmeal. Thanks!
How could anyone euthanize that cute little thing?! That’s so sad that it happens to so many animals who just need some love and a home. I’m glad you saved him. I think you should name him Bruce Wayne – a proper name, and also Batman. 😛
I just posted about my newly rescued cat. She’s my baby. <3
Batman is a great name! My sister once adopted a black cat with black eyes and her boyfriend wanted to call her Batman. She refused, so they wound up calling him Bruce instead. Every time he came up in conversation or someone new met him, she would say in a serious voice, “Bruce, as in Bruce Wayne.” It was endlessly entertaining 😀
On another note, a friend of mine just referred me to your blog, and I’m so unbelievably grateful to her because now I’m hooked 😉 Keep up the awesome blog work and congrats on adopting your adorable pup!
Aww, I am so thankful she mentioned me!
I always wanted a black cat when I was little… I never could understand why people said they were bad luck! They’re so cute!!!
