impulse or planned out

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Marta was planned, I really wanted a dog and my mom paid for half of her as an early 20th birthday gift. She is by far the best gift I have ever gotten! I really can't see myself without her.

Adele was planned too. Eric didn't wasn't crazy about a second dog, but we saw Adele on petfinder and fell in love! Hehee now she is Eric's "baby."

Vallis wasn't planned, of course we were fostering him and ended up adopting. The funny thing is though, we only fostered because we were buying some things at a local pet store that does rescues, and the owner asked what kind of dogs we had, and hearing we had a corgi, she said, "We're getting a corgi this weekend," so we filled out an app. for fostering, and got him on Sat, April 1st, and he's been here ever since!

Both of my dogs were planned. I went to the shelter and picked them out. Both times I went looking for a shepherd/collie mix, both times I came back without! But my dogs are fine just the way they are.

Gonzo was not necessarily planned. We were planning on getting a GSD puppy from an awesome working breeder in Chico. I said I only wanted money for my B-day to pay for the puppy. We were waiting a few months for the pups to be old enough, and 2 weeks before we were supposed to pick out our pup, I heard about Gonzo. A friend from BC rescue heard we were getting a puppy, and she told us about a BC puppy that a rancher was dumping - BCRNC had rescued adults/pups from these people before. We just went to "look" and see if anyone we know might take him in, and we went home with him.

Fozzie was planned... in that we wanted another dog. Of course, we had a Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy reserved from a breeder in Washington. Our puppy was reserved by the stud owner, and a few days after learning we had lost her, we found out about Fozzie, from a rescue in Redding. I'm very glad I got Fozzie instead of a Cardi, we're already very attached to him!
