We went to an adoption "just to look", and my mother was looking at a very sweet rotty mix when Star quietly stood up and placed her front paws on the top of her pen and smiled up at us. We looked at her and couldn't leave without her. We had been thinking off and on about getting a dog for almost a year, and she just clicked with us.

She was perfect too: Energetic but not ridiculously so, and mid-sized at about 25lbs.

I was no tthere when the family chose Wilbur. We knew we wanted a second dog, and my family visited an adoption while I was on vacation. I can't say that I blame them though, he has been nothing but wonderful!
