Possible New Addition to Our Family

After I got off work yesterday, I went to the Humane Society shelter where I volunteer a couple of hours a week. Animal control had brought in three GSDs on Sunday and so they are up for adoption today. Well, these dogs are so beautiful and sweet. Their owner just had a baby and said that she didn't want the dogs to hurt the baby. Makes no sence to me since she said they are very friendly, which indeed they are.

Anyhow, I fell in love yesterday. The 2 year old female GSD stole my heart! We have been wanting a female GSD for quite a while, but were waiting till Drake got a bit older and less hyper so that I can handle 2 dogs (Andrew will be stationed in Alabama for a year for flight training and I will not be going with him).

As you already know, we have been seeing a trainer to help with our problem with Drake and his jealousy of other dogs we play with. I was on the phone for 3 hours last night with our trainer. He said he thought it was a good idea for Drake to have a sister and was giving us pointers to help if they don't get along.

i made arrangements with the shelter to pick Lili up today at 3:30. The deal is that I will foster her for a few days to see how they get along. If all works well (God, I hope they do), on Saturday, I will go and fill out the papers and adopt her!

Andrew and I are both so excited. I hope Drake will be OK with this. If they do not get along, I will have to take Lili back to the shelter :(

I am sure you will be hearing me cry out for help in the next couple of days! So be ready!

I'm so excited for you and I will be keeping my fingers crossed.

We will be praying for you to have a successful union between Drake and Lilli! Tell Drake it will be to his advantage to have a playmate around all the time. Best of Luck! :)

Souraya,

I am sure Drake will get along with your new sweetie!

It may take a bit of time, but they can be playmates.

I am wishing you, Andrew and furbabies Good Luck!!

Thanks, everyone. It is 10:55 right now and I am counting down the minutes till it is 2:30 and I can go home and get Lilli some stuff and go pick her up. I know a watched kettle never boils, but I am having a hard time keeping my eyes off the clock!

The excitement is killing me!

Oh my gosh...my dream breed...GSD's!!! What a wonderful thing to read. Enjoy your new Lili and please remember to snap photos. My prayers for a happy addition.

I hope it works out for you! I know exactly how excited you are! I am keeping all fingers, toes and paws crossed for you and Lilli and Drake!!! :D!

Oh Souraya I am so excited for you, I can't wait to hear how they get along. We will all keep our paws and fingers crossed that they love each other. Oh I hope this works out :)
