Well I hung out with Mocha at the shelter all day today. Since it was a holiday, I was really hopeful that a lot of people would come in and I could find her a wonderful home. She was a little angel and I held her like a baby in my arms for most of the day (all 25 lbs of her!!!).

Around 4pm I was losing hope that she'd find a home that day. I had her on my lap behind the counter and her front paws were on the desk and she was looking over at all the people. This woman came up to the counter and said "oh my goodness, she is CUTE! Is she up for adoption?". I told her she was. The woman said that she had wanted to visit with another puppy but after seeing Mocha, she really wanted her. So she filled out her application (which was really good). I took her in a room and talked to her about Mocha for awhile. Then I left to give them some time alone together since Mocha was sticking on me like glue.

I came back to check on them and the woman told me she was just in love with her and she was the perfect puppy. I talked to her for awhile longer about Mocha and then they were off on their way. Mocha seemed to take to the woman when I wasn't around so thats good The woman is single, works from home and has 2 cats and a brand new house with a huge yard and pool (I counseled her EXTENSIVELY on the pool and possible accidents that could happen). She is going to crate train Mocha and only have her on leash when she's in the backyard until she's older. When she's older, she'll teach her to swim and teach her where the steps are in the pool.

I really think it will be a good home for my girl. She is going to take one of my Puppy Kindegarten classes so I'll get to see my baby again soon
