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.
I would totally name him Batman! What’s so bad about that name? He definitely looks like a Batman. Super cute.
Awww no problem in calling him Batman! I have a black kitten and his name is Batty (after the character in Fern Gully) because he also looks like a bat.
Also have a dalmatian mix named Patch who just had knee replacement surgery (after having the opposite leg done last winter, poor thing), a black and white cat named Toulouse, and a snake named Athena.
Yeah, we like to name our pets after animals from animated movies. =]
I actually did a post on them when I first started my blog, it’s here if you want to read it! (Batty’s not in there, though, he’s the new kid!) http://thevictoriagalaxy.blogspot.com/2011/04/meet-my-pets.html
And I know exactly how you feel about never getting over the death of pets. It gets a little easier with a lot of time, but the pain is always there.
Yay for another life saved! You are all kinds of good!! Name him Abominable and call him Abe. lol
Good for you! I very recently adopted a persian/himalayan 11 month of kitten. I still can’t believe someone gave him up. He’s the cutest, friendliest cake I’ve ever seen and he’s already a member of the family
Congrats on your puppy! He’s adorable, and Batman is a very cute name. He’s so lucky to have a great new home with you!
We have 5 puppies. I guess that might make me a crazy dog girl, but I’m ok with that. Pets of any kind are just so much fun to have around! 🙂
Congratulations!!! He is absolutely adorable!!!! And thanks for putting a plug in for adopting shelter pets too!! (And i think Batman is a great name for him) 🙂
I like the name batman!! Or maybe toto, because when I see little black dogs I think of the wizard of oz!
My spellchecker is saying that ‘snickerdoodle’ is not a real word!
How absurd!
I honestly think Batman can be a cute name :3
I think spellchekers need to go back to school 🙂
Good for you for adopting! I’m not dissing breeders, but there are so many pups out there who need homes and will die if nobody takes them. I also know how much it hurts to lose a dog- I just lost my dog to cancer last week. It sucks! Nobody can ever replace them, but your heart does make room to love another one. Batman is a fantastic name, too!
aawwww, he is SO cute. bless you for adopting a rescue! 🙂 we have a dachshund, Basil, who we rescued from Oregon Dachshund Rescue three years ago. best thing I ever did. 😀
