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.
Batman is pretty much the perfect name for him. And so not cruel. Batman is cool!
He is adorable! I too like the name Batman but I would like any tough guy name for a little dude! My husband and I just adopted a 2 yr old malamute last week and named her Nyssa. She’s still warming up to our other dog Koa…a husky/shepard/wolf-hybrid that thinks he’s a dachshund. Maybe one of these days she’ll stop bossing him around!
Congrats on the addition to your family!
oh my goodness! that puppy is too cute!! good job on snatching him up!!
Katie- he is ADORABLE! I just wnat to squeeze him through the computer! 🙂 So awesome that you adopted him. I get so sad for all those poor animals.
We have 2 cats (one of them is hairless- and he’s awesome), a dog, a parrot, tortoises and a ton of birds outside. We’re a freaking farm. 🙂
Have so much fun hanging out with your new addition. 🙂
He’d probably love to be called Batman, lol! He’s SOOOOOOOO cute!
We have a dog we adopted from a shelter when she was 6 months old. She just turned 13. She’s a corgi-pitbull mix and the sweetest thing ever! She helps us take care of the kids and keeps us all on the straight and narrow.
Such a sweet new puppy! I think you could call him Batman or Batty or Bruce Wayne (because that is Batman’s real name). Shelter puppies are the best-I have 2 myself and they are awesome. Congrats on your new friend.
Great minds! 😉
So cute!! I bought my dog (my family had dogs before, but this one is the first that is my very own – it was actually his 8th birthday yesterday :D), but if I ever decide to get a dog again, I’ll definitely adopt it.
I haven’t had any problems commenting on your blog, but I asked you in the giveaway post if it’s open to non-US readers and you didn’t respond.
Open to all 🙂
So cute! Maybe you should name him Bruce Wayne 😉
Puppies!!!!!!! I would adopt tons of puppies if I could! He is ADORABLE! Thank you for saving a dog! I feel like taking one home every time I see a picture in the paper; however, I don’t think I would like ten dogs running around my house :-/ I do have a beautiful border/collie lab mix named Hermione! She is SO sweet and I love her! We also have a large (~110 lbs) chocolate lab named Cooper who is almost 12, has cataracts, tumors, but is sweet as can be! Oh dogs…how I love thee.
Adorable. I love his cute little..scratch that.. BIG eyes. I have a puppy named sammi she is a ridge-back. I love her to death. As for adoption I was adopted and will in the future adopt may animals 🙂 BTW you blog is the bomb.com, just putting it out there.
Awww, thank you!!! 🙂
