Dolly is Getting a Sister!

We just can't seem to stop adding to the family!

Yep, we did it again!

Thursday started like a normal day at work until Mom texted me and asked if we'd like another dog. 

(Of course we had talked about getting a "sibling" for Dolly, but it had always been pushed to the back of our minds as things got hectic.)

Anyways, a co worker of hers had found like gorgeous white German Shepherd in the median of Route 3 during rush hour. 

She was scared and skittish, with no tags or microchip. 

Mom's co worker brought it to a local vet and was hoping to get her adopted...

Were we interested?

I of course was, so I texted Chad.

He was in meetings all day, so I didn't hear from him until later in the afternoon. 

I figured he would shoot the idea down right away...

...but he didn't. He started asking questions...

....And we agreed to go meet her last night. We brought Dolly along, since the two would have to get along.

It went well, but we still had big questions that we talked over on the way home. 

What about the extra expenses? 

Do we have time and energy to train another dog?

How would Dolly do?

What about traveling?

We talked it over, and thought it over.

We even talked over names and narrowed it down to a few we liked and thought would suit her. 

The sad truth is that if we didn't take her, she would either be taken to animal control to grow old and pass away, or not even have the chance. 

That didn't sit well with either of is at all. 

We were getting ready to go to bed last night when Chad said, "I don't know if all of our questions will be answered but I do know I'm not ok with her missing out on life because we don't want to do a little work. We can take her."

I almost cried out of happiness and appreciation for his tender heart!

We called and made it official this morning!
