Well, I was *looking to adopt* but one thing I knew was I didn't want a male. Just to be nice I said *okay, I'll take a look* to my husband's co-worker who was looking for a home for a shelter dog they were going to *take back*.

The then-named Buddy hopped out of their van and peed like a girl dog (sign#1). He was exactly Hannah's size and coloring (sign#2). I agreed to let him stay the weekend, no strings attached. An hour later I was whispering sweet nothings in his ear and heading to the pet store to buy supplies for our new forever dog.
