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.
OMG, you should TOTALLY name him Batman. That is awesome! Why not?!
Oh my gorgeous friend….how cute is this pup!!!! We have such a cute doggie too…Hudson, our mini wiener dog!! Love him to pieces!!
xxoo
I have four dogs, but two are at my mom’s and two are at my dads. Three of them we got from farms where their dog had puppies so we just took them in haha. I also have a couple of cats at my dad’s that I’ve had since they were kittens. I love them all 😀
So glad that you got a new puppy 🙂 Sooooo cute
Aww! You are so wonderful! <3 And he looks like such a sweetie!
Btw,I think Batman would be an awesome name. 😉
YAY! What a cute pup! So glad you adopted!
Congrats on your new doggie! I think Batman is a cute name for him. Whatever you call him, I know you’re gonna love and cherish him so much and that’s all that really matters 🙂
Aww… so cute!
My pup passed away in late February, and as much as the sight of other dogs brings a smile to my face. I just haven’t come to a place where I’m ready to get another one. We occasionally peruse the Basset Hound rescue sites… maybe one day.
Your new pup is adorable. 🙂
I think Batman is a great name, even if it becomes his nickname. My dogs have always had a ton of nicknames. But yeah, calling “Batman! come.”.. might be a little weird. 😉
You could call him Bruce.. that way you aren’t giving away his secret identity. 😀
Batman is so CUTE! I like the idea of calling him Batman, personally. Yay for rescue dogs!
OMG! I can’t believe somebody could leave this puppy! It’s soooooooooooooo cute! And for some reason Batman sounds good to me for a name 😀 .
I have a pet, too. His name is Charlie. I love to say he’s from Moscow because my father found it hiding under an old Moskvich when he was a baby. I still remember he was 800g when dad brought him home (we measured him on the kitchen scale 😛 ) and had the most adorable puppy eyes. Now he is almost 12 years old and he is one of my most faithful friends.
Way to go girl! I am all about promoting adopting animals through the humane society or other rescue groups! I’ve gotten both my cats through rescues and am scouring the pound for the dog I am dying to get! (just need to convince the hubs) 🙂 Enjoy the love they give!
Aww! OMG- your puppy is beyond adorable.
I’m such an animal person, it’s ridiculous. My current apartment doesn’t allow pets, but my lease is up soon and I’m planning to move somewhere that does ASAP. I’m looking into getting a yorkie-poo. (Half yorkie, half poodle) I can’t wait!
Batman is NOT a cruel name! It’s adorable, and so is he.
I would totally name him Batman! What’s so bad about that name? He definitely looks like a Batman. Super cute.
Awww no problem in calling him Batman! I have a black kitten and his name is Batty (after the character in Fern Gully) because he also looks like a bat.
Also have a dalmatian mix named Patch who just had knee replacement surgery (after having the opposite leg done last winter, poor thing), a black and white cat named Toulouse, and a snake named Athena.
Yeah, we like to name our pets after animals from animated movies. =]
I actually did a post on them when I first started my blog, it’s here if you want to read it! (Batty’s not in there, though, he’s the new kid!) http://thevictoriagalaxy.blogspot.com/2011/04/meet-my-pets.html
And I know exactly how you feel about never getting over the death of pets. It gets a little easier with a lot of time, but the pain is always there.
Yay for another life saved! You are all kinds of good!! Name him Abominable and call him Abe. lol
Good for you! I very recently adopted a persian/himalayan 11 month of kitten. I still can’t believe someone gave him up. He’s the cutest, friendliest cake I’ve ever seen and he’s already a member of the family
