How exciting chrissycat21! I bet that was the best birthday ever.

We got Cocoa when we bought a house and could finally own a dog. My mom's a teacher, and asked her students if they knew of any dogs for adoption, and we found Cooca. She was 2 1/2 and her old owners didn't want her anymore for some reason.

Daphne we got from the pound when she was 6 months old. I'm so glad we found her - she was supposed to be put to sleep that day!
