Thanksgiving Break Day 3: All About DOGS

Julio had the day off today! He and Harrison began the day by sleeping in, then we met Deedee and her kids for an early lunch at BK, let the kids play in their play area for an hour, then went to the 1pm showing of Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

There were a bunch of adorable dogs in the movie, which almost made up for the complete and utter lack of storyline or clever dialogue. Then we got home and I checked up on family blogs, and read that John and Karen are looking to expand their pack.

John's blog had a link to http://www.petfinder.com/, and I of course could not resist checking it out, as I have so often since Yuxia died (was that already a year ago last September?). Unlike all those past visits, I came across a profile so compelling it gave me the same feeling I had when I first met Yuxia back in 1992. After talking it over with Julio and Harrison, we decided to submit an adoption application for Noah.

We called the shelter, and it turns out Noah's foster parent decided to take him out of town for the holidays, so we won't have a chance to meet him in person until Monday or Tuesday. Say a prayer and wish us luck - we may have a new family member by Christmas - will it be Noah? Right now we hope so!

Looks like Noah is a very happy dog...notice the smile?
We do wish you luck in your search for a canine member for your family... and it looks like Noah would be a good one...and he would be very lucky to become a member of the Martinez family! Good Luck!

Nice find sis! We're starting the adoption process on Tobias tomorrow, wanna compare notes? Good luck to you three and Noah, he'll be lucky to land in your pack!
