Nanook was planned out for sure. We searched shelters & newspapers for about a year, looking for that perfect mutt!!!

Raustyk wasn't totally planned out. She was an investigation case at the shelter I volunteered at and the shelter my vet helped out. She was to be PTS as soon as the courts were over. I decided I would adopt her (special privlidges because of where I worked & volunteered for). I was not able to bring her home until almost a month later so I had plenty of time to prepare though.

Kaige was planned out, in fact the most planned out dog yet. I searched breeders of a few different breed for years. Finally decided on either an Aussie or Pointer. checked out many breeders, yadda yadda and found his breeder, checked her out & the refferences for almost another year. Then I was on her waiting list for almost a year.

Molli wasn't planned, really. We didn't plan on getting another dog when we had Missy, but my friend's dog had puppies and we fell in love with them.
We got Sam in the fall when we really planned to get a dog in the spring. We lost our cocker girl in the summer and wanted another cocker. He really melted our hearts so we had to get him.

Tia was planned exactly, we got Jesse when she was expecting pups and decided that we would like to keep a pup. So I guess it was sort of planeed, but it's not as if we went out looking for another Dachshund.

Morgan was planned, we had wanted to get another Rottweiler since last October I think, somewhere around there anyway and in February we contacted Rottweiler Rescue and adopted Morgan. We didn't plan on a puppy though, we wanted an young adult female.

Winston was sort of planned I guess but if we were going to get a Doberman, we had wanted a female pup from a good breeder. Our friend who breeds and rescues Dobes offered Winston to us and when we met him, he seemed perfect so we decided to adopt him.

Tango wasn't really planned, we were offered a puppy from a friend of ours who had an accidental litter. I wanted a really active dog, unlike the 2 we had at the time but I was waiting for the day I could get a purebred Toller. Since these pups were mixed with Tollers and the closest thing I'd get to having one, my parents said I could have one.

Frisk, Impulse. We were just looking, because I had been begging my mum and dad for a dog of my own. Once I saw him, I knew I couldn't live without him.

Ethan, Impulse. We were just at Petco to look around, and of course, we look at the dogs for adoption. He came home with us that night.

[critter crazy]

All of my critters were impulses!! except for the horses and chickens, we had thought about those for quite some time! but everything else was pretty much an impulse, most of my critters have found me!

Fenway was planned. He's my first dog. I was looking for a dog and saw him on Petfinder. I have to admit it, I never realized how much work he was going to be (and he was a puppy to boot). So the night before I was to pick him up, I was running around town like a chicken with its head cut off, looking for toys, bed, food, collar, leash, snacks, poop bags, brush, sweater and God knows what else. I think I spent over $300 and when I got home I passed out. Then I went to pick him up and my whole world changed from that day on (you'd think I'd just given birth). But he's been my baby ever since and I wouldn't change a thing.
