Luckily for him, that means that both his adoption day and his birthday fall on the same day of the year! So, every November, we set aside a weekend to celebrate. This year, we spent Saturday giving Charlie Bean his birthday presents: a new toy…..

Shortly after moving to Virginia, my husband and I began discussing the fact that we wanted to add a dog to our family. We both had dog breeds that we liked, including Pugs, Huskies, German Shepherds, and Bulldogs, among many others. We looked online and around our area, speaking with breeders of different types of dogs, considering costs, and talking about what we wanted in a dog. We had even discussed going through a breeder to get a Pug. …..
On a bright, sunny day in November of 2015, my husband and I took a drive to one of our local shelters. Having spent about a year discussing the possibility of getting a dog, we had finally decided that today was the day! We had viewed some of the shelter dogs online and one dog in particular stood out to us. We both had the afternoon off from work, so we visited the shelter that day in high hopes of…..
