Mickey finally agreed to us getting a dog. He wrote us a letter and gave it to us Christmas morning. A short excerpt: "I may have lost my mind, but here it is in bold letters....'YOU CAN GET A DOG WHEN WE GET HOME'! He went on to list conditions, and finished with this note: 'It's important to take our time and find the right dog. Don't just run out and get the first cute one you find'"
Then I (Minnie) went on to tell them this process might take months and that we wanted to be sure we found the best fit for our family.
48 hours after we returned home, we had Jessie. We went to the SPCA on the afternoon of December 27th, just to let them know what we were looking for in a dog. 10 puppies had been released that morning....rotwiller, lab and German Sheppard mix. We had Jessie the next night....and by the 29th they were all gone. We fell for the first cute face we saw....but I think we are pretty lucky. One week later, she is such a wonderful addition to our house....lots of fun, doing well with potty training, has not destroyed anything yet....but she keeps us up at night a bit. But, that soon will pass as her little bladder gets bigger! Finally another girl in our house of 3 boys, 2 boy cats and me. Jessie makes a perfect fit!
