I'm not sure I ever heard how you and Duncan came together before. What a great story!!

Sadie's mom has been taken in by the friend of a friend's, after her owner was gong to put her down because she was pregnant. Patches had a littler of 11 puppies, and by the time we went to pick one, and but 4 were claimed. We went with the idea either the one remaining girl, or the runt (a male) would be the one we chose. I held the boy first, while Ralph held the girl. Cute puppies, no immediate certainity which it would be. We swapped, and the girl girl, "Twin" at the time, Crawled inside my coat, wound heself round my neck and layed there. She had claimed me as her own. She was only 6 weeks at the time, so, hard as it was, we went home without her, and two weeks later brought our baby girl home!

Cincy was a "free" ad in the paper. We had been debating getting Sadie a playmate, and my mom called one Saturday morning to say there were lab mixes free to a good home in the paper in Findlay. I called and made an appointment to go see the next day. There were again, 4 left...2 black, 2 tan. We took Sadie along to pick, but she wanted a kitty , so we had to pick for her. Cincy was the runt, and was just so cute, somehow I knew she was the one.

Spot was on death row in a shelter in Southern Ohio. I had been wanting a male dal to add to our family, but Ralph was not yet convinced. Molly (mugsy) called one morning and said that if this dog wasn't spoken for by 4 pm that day, he would be PTS. We decided to go get him and save him, and if it didn't work out, get him in a rescue. It was clear very quickly he was here to stay. Spot's full story, is much longer, and can be found here...A Dog Rescue in Progress
