sshhhhh....DH does not know about Sammie yet...hehehe...
here is Sammie's story and how he will become a part of our family...
Today, Mom and I were in Petco getting Sophia a new collar, leash and some food to try...we were in line and the guy ahead of us was getting dog food...he saw Sophia and asked if we wanted another just like her...I asked if he was kidding and where could we get one...he said he had one in his vehicle that was on his way to the Humane Society
He and his wife just had a premie baby (32 weeks) and they were not able to give Sammie the attention he needs, or will need after the baby comes home, so he was sadly taking him back to the shelter that he rescued him from a little over a year ago...I took Sophia out to the parking lot, he got Sammie out and it was instant love...Sammie is about 2 pounds bigger than Sophia, but is also red in colour like she is...
Soooo...I borrowed his carrier because no way could we handle two loose in the car daschshunds!!...I will get it back to him this weekend...he also gave me the bag of food he has just bought, as well as a half gone one (All Science Diet) plus some treats and the leash...he said when I bring the carrier back, he also has nail clippers and toys and his bed that I can have...
I asked him if I owed him anything and he said no because he was going to give a donation to the shelter along with the food and stuff when he took Sammie in, so I was saving him money in the end...
We went to our friend's house, as we were planning on going over and introducing Sophia to their Cuddles (a black and red daschshund), so Sammie went as well...they all got along great, romping in the backyard together, and Sammie adjusted very well...
NOW...we are going back there this evening for Teen Bible Study, so we left Sammie there with Cuddles for the afternoon, rather than bringing him home, then taking him out again this evening because I do not want to leave him to fend for himself alone with ten cats
Soooo...we will get there, DH will see TWO doxies at our friend's house, and be very envious because he has wanted one since he met Sophia...then when it is time to go, I will get Sammie's carrier from the garage and tell him its time to go home now...hahaha...I cannot wait to see DH and DS faces, because neither one knows that we have Sammie!!I will post pics tonight or tomorrow, depending on when I get them...our friend took pics of all 3 dogs romping together...
gotta get this posted before DH sees it...he is home right now!
DH was thrilled to death...we sat there ALL evening long with these two dogs (theirs and "ours") running around and playing, or climbing onto laps for attention, and DH thought Sammie was great...we never let on...
