I remember going to buy a new pup. I had already picked out the dog I wanted. It was an older dog, and I felt bad for it I guess. I walked by a litter of lab pups, and thought 'HOW CUTE!!" so I held a little male pup (just to hold it, not to get it) and was thinking he was cute, but then another puppy jumped up on her hind legs and stared at me threw the glass. There were a lot of pups there, and she was the only one standing up so I thought I'd hold her too. The very second she wasin my arms I knew I HAD to have her. I felt bad for the other dog I ment to get, but I just fell in love with her. That's my Josie girl. We've had a very strong bond since then

Zeke:
I had been going to the HS to look at dogs. I wanted a female puppy. They didn't really have a lot of dogs then, almost no puppies I think. I remember the first time I looked at Zeke, he was sitting at the back of his cage, he never came up to greet me, so I kept going. The next time I came in, it was the same thing. (plus, everyone else did the same thing - walk by) I thought I'd try to get him to come see me, and after a couple of mins he does. He seemed so sad and depressed, but he brighted up a little after I patted him a while. I told him to not get adopted and I'd come back for him the next day. Sure enough, I got my little boy! Knowing how Zeke is now, and seeing him in the cage and how he acted there, you could tell he must have been very very sad Zeke is ALWAYS happy, ALWAYS energetic. I think he's trying to tell me he's happy he's not trapped in that cage with no one to love him.

There is another dog at the HS that acts the same way..I want her so badly
