I feel a bit ridiculous saying this, but I literally could not sleep last night.
We went to bed at 10:30 and I tossed, and I turned...it was like Christmas Eve. Way too excited. I've never had an actual puppy before! Only adult dogs.
I laid there and finally at 2:30 I got up and took half a dose of acetaminophen PM.
...at three I was still wide awake, so I took the other half of the dose. I slept from just before 4, to 6.
SO I was a little afraid of falling asleep driving on the way to the shelter.
But it was definitely not difficult. It was great to have girl time with my sister. We chatted the entire time.
We made it to LA to meet our possible new family member at 15 min past opening.
And he was still there. No name to claim him.
We found him and met him, and my goodness he's SUCH a sweetie. His personality is a lot like Chester's (Chester is our other dog), only with a little more puppy spunk.
We were not allowed to take him out of the kennel.
So we had driven 3.75 hours to stick our fingers through the fence...
But it was SO worth it.
He loved me immediately, and I loved him too :)
He has the cutest ears, his feet are ginormous, and he howls a little when you get him riled up and then stop petting him. Adorable.
He will be released this coming Friday at 2 pm. I cannot be any later than 4, or they can give him to someone else...
Lord willing, he will be home in 48 hours :)
Meet Tobias.
