I think she was mine from the first I met her, even when she "belonged" to another couple. She was in my puppy class and I fought myself playing favorites with her. Nearly a year passed and I spotted a freecycle post listing a 1 year old golden-doodle named Callie. Now, just how many of those are in my neighborhood? I replied to them before I even asked hubby if he was ok with me getting a second dog.

A week of emails and phone calls, and they agreed to bring her over and meet Nicki - it all hinged on how well my old girl liked the little one. Callie remembered me, and loved Nicki (and Nicki liked her). The couple was shocked how she remembered me. I'm still the only one she really listens to (not saying she listens to me very well )

I adore this little girl and she adores me. She sleeps on my feet every night, which is nice now since she keeps my toesies warm
