Every few years Hollywood comes out with a movie where by some plot device, a kid ends up occupying the body of an adult. There was "Big", "Freaky Friday", "17 Again" and a bunch of others.
Gomez reminds me of one of those characters. He looks like an adult but he's still got the somewhat schizo personality of a kid. One moment he's like this:
The next moment he's like this:
Gomez is not quite a year old yet and you can tell he's at that awkward stage with two feet at the kid's table and two feet at the grown up's table. He's got a good heart, this one, so I think he'll turn out well. And judging from the couple who have been in to see him a few times already, he'll have a good family to guide him along his way.
Gomez may have been adopted already. If his profile has been taken off the TAS adoption website, it means he's probably home.
I hope they keep the name: he really looks like Raul Julia in the role!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike, Tigerspirit, I kept looking for Morticia! *L*
ReplyDeleteWe've adopted him! We changed the name only slightly... he's "Gomer" now because he really is a goof! We're very happy to have him home!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Darrel! You guys were doing a really great job with him at the shelter.
ReplyDeleteGomer is a good name, but you can't disconnect him from his Latino roots. Make sure to make his home a multicultural one, with tacos, burritos, six-shooters, salsa music and Selina music.
