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.
too cute!!
i want a puppy, my older sisters have dogs

I like Nero (nay-roe) black in Italian or Twilight or maybe even Diesel. There are some good ones on the list. Good luck…so cute! You are such a good person to rescue him.
Im so happy you did decide to get another pet. I never got over the death of my doggie until my parents got another pet. Now we have 2 kitties (Nemo and Sleighbell). I love the name Batman, hes adorableeee!!!
Batman is a great name!
Haha, his ears definitely make him look like a Batman!
NAME HIM BATMAN! Seriously. It’s not cruelty, it’s an honor.
What a cutie!! Can’t wait to hear the verdict on the name decision 🙂
I have a spunky little pup named Margot!
Promptly after buying my very first food processor last weekend, I broke it out of the box and made your fudge babies! Delicious! As for dogs, we were given a pitbull mastiff mix puppy slated to go to a shelter because her family could only have 1 dog in their new apartment. Lucy spent her first days woefully looking at us from corners. Now she’ll gently climb into our laps for quality snuggle time. All 65 pounds of her. And Batman is too a great name : )
Batman is a perfectly good name, I love it! Please don’t listen to your sister! :))
*tear* I died a little bit inside when you said he was to be euthanized. My local news station was doing a special on all the cats and dogs that “had” to be put down at the shelters in town and I was in a hysterical panic for a while. I’m not able to adopt because my rabbit does not play well with others, but I so wish I could find a little pup as adorable as your new man! He’s so precious and I LOVE the name Batman. Very fitting 🙂
