We werent looking for a second dog.
My husband and I had lost our first dog to a kidney complication last summer, and we had our hands full with our young dog named Rue.
If we were going to get a second dog we had some rules:
We wanted a girl. We wanted her to be smaller than Rue. We wanted to adopt an older dog.
Then we saw him.

If I'd been hit by a car and had my arm amputated, I'd be grumpy as hell.
That's a lovely dog, bright, alert, and obviously happy to have found his people.
