The ones in here who are on my facebook and/or twitter have heard the story, so here goes for the rest of you.
A couple weeks ago the hubby heard through work about a couple that was giving away their 11 month old pomeranian due to the wife being 7 months pregnant and not thinking she could handle both a baby and a very active small dog. So after a few phone calls between us, they picked this past Tuesday to come up with the dog so they could see where he was going, etc. So Tuesday comes along, they spend 2 hours with us and the dog we already have and all seemed fine. They brought in his toys/food/heartworm pills/advantix/etc and left.
Kodi (the pom) immediately took to me and was following me all over the house and wouldn't leave my side. I didn't have another crate to put him in overnight, so I let him sleep in our room like our other dog does. He didn't get into anything or make any kind of mess like I was warned he would do. Around 6:30am I had that feeling like I was being watched, and there was Kodi at the side of the bed with his little nose peeking up over the covers. Couldn't resist so I let him come up on the bed and he cuddled right up.
The next day was the same...following me around, wagging that little tail when I'd look at him, was a perfect match of dog and owner. Then the hubby called...the wife of the couple had been up all night crying and throwing up and that he'd brought her to the hospital (so her husband said anyways) and said that they wanted Kodi back that day (wednesday) and would be at our house around 4.
So after just one day, Kodi left...I was the one sick after that cuz he was just such an amazingly good little dog. After that, my kids both said "you know mom, I think Dad would get you any dog you want now". Probably true, but Kodi won me over quicker than any pet I've ever had. So yeah, now I think the hunt will be on for another pom...they're just so cute and such cool little dogs.
Me holding Kodi...*sniffle*
