More Doggie Talk!

It's official!  Echo is officially adopted!  Yesterday, we took him to the vet and learned of his story.  One of the vet technicians was on his way to work when Echo ran right under his car!  The vet tech thought that he had killed him, but instead found him shaking underneath!  My heart broke trying to imagine how he must have felt in that instant.  He took Echo to the hospital where he worked and found that he was instantly loved by all.  Everyone recognized him at the hospital and took turns showering him with affection while we were waiting to be called in.  That's the thing about this little guy...he loves everyone and everyone loves him.  When he got his microchip inserted, he yelped for a few seconds which made me so sad.  But right when the Doctor put him onto the ground, he ran right over to me, tail wagging and all.  That made me smile.

Meet Echo!

Now, now...let's not get too excited just yet.  We're currently in a trial period...

My friend brought him home from the vet one day because he was on his way to the shelter.  =(  J and I went to visit him, then the next day, he was on my lap on the way home (shedding all over me, might I add).  I'd like to think that we are currently fostering him with the possibility that we might end up keeping him.

I have always been someone who wanted a dog, and believed that I would be the best dog owner ever.  Now that I have to put my money where my mouth is, I am surprised at how much I have to learn about owning and raising a puppy.  I have been independent for so long that it is a huge adjustment for me to contemplate the possibility of rearranging my life in consideration of a living and breathing thing who relies on me to survive (so much pressure!).

Seriously, though.  Can you resist this face?
