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 think Batman would be a great name! I’m so glad you adopted – I wish everybody would do this.
Thank you for this positive message – it is so true! You must always adopt when possible, it saves so many lives.
And yum – I always love ideas to change up my morning oatmeal. Thanks!
How could anyone euthanize that cute little thing?! That’s so sad that it happens to so many animals who just need some love and a home. I’m glad you saved him. I think you should name him Bruce Wayne – a proper name, and also Batman. 😛
I just posted about my newly rescued cat. She’s my baby. <3
Batman is a great name! My sister once adopted a black cat with black eyes and her boyfriend wanted to call her Batman. She refused, so they wound up calling him Bruce instead. Every time he came up in conversation or someone new met him, she would say in a serious voice, “Bruce, as in Bruce Wayne.” It was endlessly entertaining 😀
On another note, a friend of mine just referred me to your blog, and I’m so unbelievably grateful to her because now I’m hooked 😉 Keep up the awesome blog work and congrats on adopting your adorable pup!
Aww, I am so thankful she mentioned me!
I always wanted a black cat when I was little… I never could understand why people said they were bad luck! They’re so cute!!!
he’s adorable. if i didn’t have a tiny apartment i would steal him. also, i have 2 kitties, jack and alice. they’re best buds and my babies.
Sooo stinking cute!!!! My dogs name is Henry too! But I think ur new pup looks like a Harvey or Batman!
I adopted one of my dogs! I used to volunteer at a sheltar and with one look at him and knew I couldn’t leave the sheltar without him..
Katie, first of all you look beautiful!
I want your hair, lucky to have beautiful straight hair!
Congrats on the puppy! SO CUTE!!!!!!
Aww, love you! And YOU have awesome hair, girl!
Aw, I love the new puppy & I think Batman is a perfectly acceptable name! 🙂
I adopted my pug, Stewie, from a shelter, too! We can’t figure out how anyone could ever abandon him; he’s the sweetest little guy!
Yeah, call him Bruce Wayne (always by the full name, never just Bruce 🙂 ) .
I have 2 cats: Sookie (named for the books not the True Blood series) and Ruby. Sookie is a rescue, she was found abandoned in an apartment building. She sucks her tail when she’s happy. Ruby is the kitten of an outdoor stray that gave a safe place to have her litter (8 kittens… EIGHT!!! … Ruby is the last one.) I wish I had time for a dog but I’m sometimes gone for 11 hours at a time and I just can’t do that to a dog.
He’s adorable! Call the cutie anything you want. 🙂
I don’t have any pets at the moment but I’m considering adopting an adult cat in the future. See, I’m not planning on having any kids (for many reasons, no offense to awesome mothers out there) but when I become all motherly one day, a pet sounds wonderful! And adoption is a beautiful thing to do for an animal. I’m so glad you saved your new pet!
Too cute! You have to name him batman…. That would be perfect! I have 3 pets…, dog, cat and bunny.
I love Batman! I think it’s a great name! But then, my dog is named Gig ‘Em (yes, we’re Aggies)!
I think Batman is a perfect name for your pup. Although, maybe that can be his nickname and you can call him by his alter ego…Bruce Wayne! Enjoy the puppy love.
Yay, good for you Katie, he is sooooo adoooooorable. Pets are amazing aren’t they! Happy for you.
I have 2 English Bulldogs and I adore them every single second! 🙂
Like the sounds of this Oatmeal too.
yaaaayy, you’re a hero!! thank you for being an advocate for adoption! 🙂
Also, I think Batman is the best name ever! He’s totally a Batman 🙂
