We have saved a life!!

We went last Saturday to look at a beagle puppy that was for adoption but didn't get her for 2 reasons - 1. You had to have a fence up already and 2. She was really cute but VERY skinny. Lizzie was already in a 'foster home' so we didn't understand why she was still so skinny. When we were on our way to look at her, we heard the radio ad for the Greater Birmingham Humane Society 31 hour Adopt-a-thon. Since CJ was so disappointed about not being able to get Lizzie, we decided to go there and just look.

We looked at a lot of them - from puppies to older dogs (only up to 4 years old). We looked at a hound that was named 'Ella' which she reminded me a little of Angel with the tri-coloring but when we got into the room to interact with her - she didn't have much to do with any of us. We then asked to see a yellow lab (only 8 weeks old). There was 3 of them in one kennel and Jason wanted to see the 'middle shaded one'....LOL Her name was Sheree and she was so timid and scared. She peed from the time they took her out of the kennel to even when she was put down into the room. She warmed up a bit to each one of us and the kids started to fall in love :o) Then...out of the corner of Jason's eye, he spots the little black puppy he saw someone holding when we went to the 'meeting room' for the first time. The puppy wasn't in any kennel the whole time we were there so we didn't see it. Jason wanted to make sure the puppy was a girl and then wanted to see her.

So, only weighing 5 lbs (at least their last weigh in) - Biscuit came into the room. She is a lovable and playful puppy. She has become part of our family :o) We are not 100% sure what she is...we've been told a few things but the vet suggested a shepherd/lab mix but most of those puppies were triple her size at this age (2 months) so we don't know what she'll become. She looks like a Manchester Terrier too. The joy of watching her grow!

Here she is...

One of my favorite pictures I have gotten to take :o)

Now, all we need is our 'Buttermilk' (which would be a pug puppy from Piper) to complete our little family. Jason stated a brown puppy would work and call it 'Gravy' but I want a pug!! We looked for pugs at the shelter and even online at the Alabama pug rescue but no luck :o( - we'll just wait patiently for Piper's puppies!!
