When you adopt older dogs....

[Giselle]

Kim this is terrific news! You know we NEED pictures and stories!!

I don't wonder so much what Ripley looked like as how he was treated. I have many mixed thoughts about this. When I found him he was a matted mess, which initially told me he wasn't cared for at all. He sits so well for me when I groom him that I have to think he was regularly groomed at one time. I go around and around wondering about his past life. I only wish I knew.

Here ya go

(Congrats!!)

And yes, I desperately want to see what Giselle looked like when she was a puppy. Grey puppies are simply the cutest things in the world and I would give my right arm to see a younger Giselle.

We're pretty fortunate, Star was only 5 weeks old when we got her, so we got to enjoy her puppyhood & also saw both of her parents. My RB Rosie was about 31/2 months old when we got her & already weighed 20 lbs, but I'll bet she was cute that first couple months, too. Sherman was 1 1/2, but his breeder sent me puppy pictures, which I very much appreciated. We also met his parents & siblings. I wish there was some way for everyone to get to see their pets as babies, too. They're all so cute!

We got Kai at 12 weeks. I really wish I got to see him at 8 weeks though, nothing cuter than a Sheltie pup.

We got Kaedyn at 6 or so. I may be biased, but I think he's one of the cutest adult Shelties I've ever seen.. I bet he was just the cutest little thing as a pup.
