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.
Oh he is adorable! Please call him Batman- I LOVE that name!
You are seriously adorable too! such a beautiful photo of you Katie!
Awwwww thank you so much!!!
Aww what a cutie. Totally looks like a Batman to me. 🙂 Yep we’ve got a dog and some fish. Probably going to get a kitty soon but we’re not ready yet.
Since you have a grumpy old henry ( which reminds me of Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady), I’m compelled to suggest ‘Colonel Pickering’ as a name. 😉 ( I love that movie!)
My last name is Higgins ;).
‘Colonel Pickering… haha! That’s awesome! hahaha! 🙂
I have two adopted pups! Bowser is a four year old terrier mix from Puerto Rico. And Ripley is my big girl, a catahoula leopard dog mix from Tennessee who I met through the NEADS program!
I love your new pup and you should ABSOLUTELY name him Batman.
If your sister won’t go for Batman, perhaps Bruce Wayne? ;]
I kind of love the name Batman!! Unfortunately, I don’t have any pets because my mom and brother are severely allergic!
Your new pup looks kind of like a bochi (Boston terrier/chihuahua mix). Do you happen to know if this is the case?
Ooh maybe! They told me he was a chihuahua, but (as I wrote to another commenter) I don’t think he looks like one. So perhaps you’re right. And that would be super-cool because my sister went to Boston University, and their mascot is the Boston terrier :).
OMG he is so cute and I think Batman would be an awesome name, then you could find a cute bat themed Halloween collar!
omg cuteness! we want to get a dog, not now but in the near future. i’m just concerned how my two cats will handle it 😡
Batman sounds like a great idea to me! I read somewhere that pets respond very well to two syllable names ( I’m sorry I don’t have any sources it was a while ago that I read this but the article said something about it’s easier for them to recognize and remember it). Batman is two syllables, and he looks like a batman! It’s meant to be? 🙂
That’s really interesting… now that you mentioned it, I think all my dogs have had two-syllable names! Harris, Molly, Henry, Duffy… and my rabbit and bird, too. The theory seems to hold truth!
