And I bawled the whole way home.
I can't help it. I went in there for volunteer information, and I fell in love with this Chocolate Lab puppy named Blinker. My heart just BROKE... Love and heartbreak are NOTHING compared to what I felt with this puppy. He was sitting in this cement, outdoor cage all by himself, when I saw him, I honesty thought he was dead. He slowly sat up when I came over to him, and he was just shaking. I think it was cold... but his belly was really big and he had a runny nose... My heart just broke for him.
I need to take him home. There were other dogs there, and I know that pups go faster than older dogs, and I always promised myself I would get an older dog, but there was just something about this puppy that screamed out at me that he needs a home, bad. The adoption fee is $40, plus the neuter, which is mandatory after adoption. The $40 is a breeze, I just need to know how much neutering will cost.
I also need to convince my mom. My dad would maybe think about taking him, as he has always wanted a "hunting" dog, type breed, and a Lab would be just that. But he's at an apartment now, and he can't have dogs. Therefore Abby is staying with my mom, and I would need to convince my mom that this puppy needs a home. I think maybe if I convinced her to go LOOK-- her heart might take over.
I just called her now, and told her the situation. I begged and I pleaded, I gave her the pros of having a big ole Labby boy in the house (didn't mention the cons!) and she said she would think about it.
PRAYERS FOR BLINKER AND I! *crossing fingers*
