GILBERT'S HOME!!!

My gosh, he's just the most lovely boy ever. His ears flop forward when he looks at you in a very adorable way.

He and Sophie fell asleep together in the back seat of the car on the way home and if I hadn't been doing breakneck speed on the highway, I would have taken a picture:) She had her arm around him and he was all snuggled up to her.

When we got to the house of the adoption woman, we went out back and she let a bunch of dogs out, some hers and some she fosters. They ran around like maniacs, and I told Sophie "Charmaine has a lot of dogs, because she rescues them". She said "is that why we came here?". I told her "Well, sort of. She rescues them and finds home for them and I thought it would be nice if we gave one of them a home." It was perfect because Gilbert had his head in her lap at the time and she was patting him. I told her that we were bringing him home with us and she squealed so loud, the dogs all stopped what they were doing and looked:) Anyway, we filled out all the paperwork and did the long drive home (he got a bit carsick but managed to get it all on the blanket).

He just got back from a little walk before bed.

The cat seems quite interested and only hissed at him when he got too close to her.

He's a doll and we love him already:D
 
Thats great! I love my dogs as well, I just hate the fur!x( She must have been so excited.Did sophie ask where she was going?
I was wondering if you were home yet and I even posted and told you not to put any limes on his head!:)
Let us know how his first night in his new home is going to be.Sounds like you guys are going to do great!

Hi Shelley!

That is sooooo wonderful. I could just picture them in the backseat!
You are a great Mom and person for doing that! And it sounds like he's already grateful! I am so happy for all of you! Glad the cat only hissed at him! LOL!

Well have a wonderful first night together!

Oh, that is so wonderful!!! I bet that Sophie and Gilbert are going to be best buds!!! I had a dog growing up that actually used to sleep in the bed with me. We always cuddled and he is still living some of my fondest memories! You are such an awesome mom and person!!! He will be so happy with you guys. But the cat... I wonder how happy that cat is now! :+

Awwwww, Shelley... now I can't wait for Andrew to be Sophie's age so I can adopt a dog, too. I promised him one when he's older, even though I have allergies and allergy-induced asthma. Things we do for our kids, eh?

Gilbert sounds PERFECT for Sophie. I hope your cat doesn't diss him too much.:)

Pets are so amazing. I bet Sophie is going to be walking on air now since her new buddy is with her. I love the fact that you rescued her...such a great thing to do. Gilbert is one very lucky dog and I hope the other dogs are as lucky. What a blessing.
