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.
Adorable. Thanks so much for adopting. All my pets come from shelters or foster parents that have taken in strays. They are the best and deserve so much love. Pets must be named from the heart. If you feel Batman, go with Batman!
He kinda reminds me of Batty from Fergully 🙂 He’s adorable though! I’m all about adoption and rescue facilities, my cat Wookie was a rescue (actually right out of our front yard) She was 6 months old and already pregnant. I could have found a better cat though, she’s even doing well with me training her a little.
Totally go with Batman, if he has the character to back it up then the name totally fits and it’s not cruel 🙂
Something funny I just thought of as I reread your latest blog entry was that…Batman is part of DC comics…and I suggest D.C. for a name, before I realized you’d wanted to name your puppy Batman. LOL. Hey! By the way…Name your puppy ANYTHING your heart says to name him! He’s YOUR puppy love!
Aww, what a sweet face! And if Batman isn’t a suitable name, you could just call him Bruce Wayne. 🙂 D.C. is also an excellent suggestion.
Somehow, my second message was lost, so I hope it doesn’t show up later on…I’d be so embarrassed! Anyway…After rereading your newest blog entry about your new puppy, I realized that there’s a funny connection between your wanting to name your puppy Batman, and my suggestion of the name D.C….D.C. comics is the home of Batman. LOL.
Name your puppy whatever your heart desires- he is YOUR puppy love!
Haha they all showed up. See, I told you I was having trouble with comments! 😕 Eh, but more sweet comments from you can only be a good thing… I love the idea of DC. It also reminds me of this Christina Ricci movie I used to love, where the cat was named DC :).
Aw, too cute! I have a not so little yellow lab named Curtis. Enjoy your new love!
NAME HIM BATMAN!!!! It’s not cruel, it’s unique. You could call him Mr. Man or Batty for short.
I used to have two collies (a long haired and a short-haired), but the long haired collie died of a heart attack last year, and the short haired one died in his sleep sunning sunning himself while we were away at church this summer. Both were SO HEALTHY, and they were still galloping around, playing, and acting like puppies (no gray hairs, despite one being 10 and the other 11). Claymore was the name of the long haired collie, and my special boy the short haired collie was Lad. I miss them both SO MUCH!!! :~( I hope to get a collie this spring though, when the weather will be better here in stormy Washington State.
Good luck with your new pup, and let me know what you decide to name him (seriously, keep the name Batman).
Aghhhh so adorable! We just adopted too, it is amazing how many SUPER CUTE doggies that are available..some even purebred!
I too think BRUCE would be so cute!
Aw, he’s cute! And I think Batman would be an awesome name for a dog. Maybe you could name him Bruce or Wayne instead. 😀
congrats on the new puppy adoption! thanks for spreading the word about rescue versus bred animals. so important. he looks right at home already!
