We adopted Gomer on February 16, 2012. Fred described him perfectly, as he was definitely a kid trapped in a grown-ups body! We thought it appropriate to re-christen him "Gomer", as while he did often wreak havoc, he was sweet and had a good heart and really never meant any harm. He was our first dog, and the first few months with him were definitely challenging! But as we learned to become better "dog parents" and redirect his energy, he settled down and has become a great friend and companion! He even earned a spot on our wedding invitations!
We adopted Willa after seeing Molly on the blog and visiting her at TAS with Gomer. Unfortunately, Gomer and Molly didn't jive. James asked us to hold on, as he had another dog he wanted us to see. Down the stairs he came with this baby puggle who swarmed us both with kisses on our first meeting. Who could resist?! We adopted her the next day and our doggy odd-couple was born!
Gomer and Willa have been great friends to one another, and we are so happy to have them in our family. We can't imagine our lives without them now, and we must thank James at TAS especially for spending a lot of time with us and for giving us the confidence and reassurance that we could be good dog owners! James you are the best!
Love these updates. Many thanks to their new family.
ReplyDeleteLovely update. And love all the photos, they look like they are having the best life!
ReplyDeletewhat wonderful photos, there is no doubt that you have become the perfect dog parents! Gomer and Willa look as if they have found a life of bliss with you and each other. Thank you for giving them a loving home and for the happy ending update. It warms the hearts of all of us who worry about the dogs needing homes to know that some do find perfect homes like lucky Willa and Gomer
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and lovely story. Thank you for sharing it. It's always great to hear there are "happily ever afters" for most of the dogs.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom photo is the greatest - it captures what shelter dogs really are....just dogs waiting to be as happy as this!
