I wasn't planning on getting a second dog. Really. The day started out as an innocent play date for Olivia at the home of Tom and Susan. They have three greyhounds of their own and my girl always comes home dog-tired after a day of romping with her peeps.
Only this time, Tom and Susan were fostering a little 4-year-old fawn straight off a Florida track. Better known as Miss Bessie in the 93 heats she ran as a race dog. Her final race was on May 21 before she was rescued by Golden State Greyhound Adoption.
Anyway, you know that old Linda Ronstadt song, the one with the lyrics that go, "...just one look and I fell so hard in love, with you?" Well....
Olivia now has a new sister, a sweet and affectionate little love bug I've named Hazel. Once again I'm a two-dog household.
Oh, I know what this means, mind you. Double the work. Double the food. Double the vet bills, cleaning, and costs.
And double the love.

Congratulations! Of course you fell in love and couldn't resist. Hazel is beautiful, and she picked you out.
Two years ago I walked into a pet store to buy cat litter. I had absolutely had no intention of adding another cat to the family! However, fate intervened. There was a cage of rescue kittens. There was one in there... once we made eye contact, I knew I had no choice in the matter. This had never happened to me before like this! The woman who ran the rescue was there. As I found my hand filling in the adoption form I stared at the line "Reason for wanting to adopt." The woman eyed me. "Love at first sight works." I dutifully wrote that down. Sometimes, you really have no choice.
Awww. two amazing smiles. Enjoy your new adventure!
