I think we have finally found the perfect dog! She is with a wonderful rescue group called H.A.P.P.E. We happened to be passing by a PetSmart when they were having an adoption fair yesterday. We spent almost two hours there talking to the foster mom, a wonderful lady named Stacy, and playing with and walking the pup, her name is Lizzy.

Lizzy the pup is four months old, she's spayed, up to date on all her shots. She's confident and she played well with all the other dogs they had at the fair, she's housebroken, and she's a snuggler. :) Here's a link to her picture:

(And no, I don't think she's really a great dane mix, I think they just said that because of the colors)

She had me won over immediately. I think the tie breaker was when Brian squatted down and called her to him, she went right over to him, jumped up on his knee and licked his chin. She hadn't been that affectionate up till that point cause I think she was just a little freaked out by the number of people at the adoption fair, plus it was pretty cold outside.

We have to go through an adoption process where they call our landlord and personal references, then review our answers on the application about work schedules, money and so forth, so I hope we know by the end of the week. Please keep your fingers crossed for us cause we are completely in love with this dog and would love for her forever home to be with us. :)

I can see why you're in love - she's gorgeous! In the picture she doesn't look Great Dane big, but you never know from pictures sometimes.

Good luck on the application process (my fingers are definitely crossed) and when you're approved make sure to post lots of pictures.

She almost looks Bull Terrier/Pittish. She is absolutely adorable, I can see how you would fall in love with her. I wish you luck and hope all goes well.

I have recently gone through all of this with my Ripley. I had to wait for 7 days to see if he was claimed and then of course if my application was accepted, so I know the feeling! I think this part of your post sort of points out that she picked you!

That is how it was with Ripley. He came right over and sat in my lap and gave me a kiss. It was a done deal right there! :D Good luck and keep us posted. She sure is a cutie pie!

Aww, she's adorable!! I will be crossing my fingers for you!! I remember when the HS was going over my adoption papers for Ruby... that seemed like the longest few days of my life!! The best of luck to you and Lizzy! :D

[Sevens]

Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday, they worked!!!! :D :D

I spoke to the foster coordinator Stacy yesterday evening. It's funny, we ended up talking for over an hour!:) She's a really great lady! Anyway, she said we are going to get Lizzy, it's just a formality for her to call our landlord today and make sure we have their permission. Then we have to sign a "Pet Addendum" for the landlord and once Stacy has confirmed they have received it, Lizzy can come home to us!

Brian and I decided last night that it would be best to have the foster mother hold onto Lizzy until next weekend. We have a bunch of wedding stuff that needs to be taken care of this weekend (like getting a dress, marriage license, etc.) cause we are getting married on March 3. However, on Sunday, I am going down to Virginia Beach, cause my sister works at a privately owned pet supply warehouse and she's gonna hook me up with everything we will need for Lizzy with her employee discount!:)

Anyway, I just wanted to thank everybody for the well wishes. I'm sure I'll be posting a lot more once we bring Lizzy home!:D

Congrats to the new parents!! Pictures!!

[Dixieland Dancer]

How lucky you are and how lucky your new love is too! Congratulations!!! :D :D :D

[Dakota's Mommy]

Congrats, I'm so happy for you guys! What an exciting time. A wedding, a new child (okay puppy, it's all the same). I'm so excited. I hope you all adjust well to the new lifestyle that will be coming your way. What an exciting time!

[Dakota's Mommy]

You emailed me and asked me about how big Dakota was when she was 4 months. The following album was taken approximately 2 weeks after Dakota turned 4 months old. It was back in October.
Dakota's Trip to Grandma's (http://www.imagestation.com/album?id=4291125711)
Here are a few of the pics from that album!

I'll also go through some of the other albums to see if I can remember when other pics were taken!

[Dakota's Mommy]

Also, if you'd like to check out our Destiny & Dakota photo album, the first group of pics are when we first got Destiny, when Dakota was not quite 5 months (4 months, 3 weeks). So, there are some pics in there when she was about the age of your pup!

And, here's a pic of Dakota standing right around that same time!

[Dakota's Mommy]

Hope the pics could be of some help to you, again, I'll try to see if Brian remembers her weight or anything like that when I talk to him tonight. Here's one more pic that was taken before we got Destiny so it was right around the time Dakota turned 4 months. Hope you enjoy and I was of some help!
