Adoption Anniversary

This is the sad little Angel face we first saw on the screen when we went looking for a dog on Petfinder a year ago. Is it any wonder that I couldn't stop thinking about that face? Steve would show me other dogs and I just couldn't stop thinking of Angel.  As they say in the movies, it was "love at first sight".

Of course, by the time we met her, she looked like this....

She was just a baby herself when she had that little cutie behind her. That's Yofi, now known as "Marley", and that was Angel's adoption day.She wasn't so sure about us then.

She's looking even a little better now....

She's definitely fatter! Her hair is a bit longer, and though she's not "smiling" in this picture, she "smiles" all the time now! She is quite happy. As I said to Natalie this morning, "that dog has not had one bad day in almost a whole year. Pretty good for a shelter dog!" She agreed that life would not be the same without our Angel and it has been a blessing to love her. Angel has become a "daddy's girl"as well, climbing right over me to get to her daddy each morning! Such a change from the first 6 weeks she spent being afraid and hiding from him!

We will be hugging her extra tight on April 26th, the anniversary of  her adoption day! We can't believe a whole year has gone by already. I actually found a picture of Angel on Pinterest, but could not get it to load here. It was a petfinder ad for the adoption of her puppies. Angel looked like a puppy herself. Natalie has also put a picture of Angel on Pinterest, so if you're out there, look her up sometime! (as if you need to see more pictures!)

Thanks again, Angel followers and "aunties". It's been nice to share these times with you!
