A Little Life Brings Great Happiness…
Yesterday was Friday – and I gotta say that Friday started out pretty crappy. I left work feeling a little blue – and then came home and wrote a little sad blog. But then Scott, Sammy, my neice (Keirra), our dog (Ebony) and I hopped into the car and headed for Reno, and there we met with the sweetest thing on four paws – BAXTER!!!
No matter what sadness I was feeling – it was forgotten as soon as I saw his sweet little face. He’s gotten so big! He was running all over the place – he was a mess from playing in his food… he was perfect. Baxter was just what I needed to lift my sprits off the cold dirty floor.
I held him, I played with him and once again he fell asleep in my arms as I rubbed my face across his. Baxter is so damn cute – I just want to take him home! He’s already 5 weeks old (or will be on Sunday) – can you believe it?! Most of his brothers and sisters have also been adopted – but there are still like five that have no homes yet.
I’m sure those sweet faces will attract people really fast! We still have about eight weeks until we can bring little Baxter home – but we’ll keep visiting him each and every week leading up. We are going on vacation for a week – so there will be a week that we won’t see him – but as soon as we get home from vacation we get to go pick him up and bring him home! It’s a rush of pride knowing I am going to be Baxter’s mommy – he’s such an adorable little guy.
The owner of K9 Fitness Center, and the Corgi rescue, hung out with us for a while playing with the puppies. Another couple – who adopted two of the puppies – came in and it turned out to be one big puppy party!
Sam found himself being followed around by the puppies – after all he’s the closest thing to their size. Sam also found himself on the bottom of a few dog piles – silly babies!
What had to have been the warmest part of the visit was watching Baxter follow his new monkey owner (Sammy) around. Baxter was really getting to know Sammy – and Sammy really didn’t want too much to do with the puppy. That’s okay – I’d rather have him relaxed and not get too excited over the puppies. I wouldn’t want him to pick them up and carry them around, and be absoultely annoying with them. Sammy did pet Baxter, tell him that he loved him, and held him in his lap – it was heart-melting! I know that Sam and Baxter are going to be great buds!
As for me and Baxter – yeah, he’s my little buddy. It’s all for Ebony – but we all know that is probably not the complete truth, as it has a lot to do with me too. We might try and get up to see Baxter more than once a week – if the weather permits and if time permits as well.
A little life brings great happiness – as I was quick to forget the hells of the day and bathe in the glow of this puppy’s pure and happy spirit… Yeah, life’s good.
