Hurley!
I'm sure most of you have seen him on our facebook page or at least heard about his antics. He's fun. He's crazy. He's snuggly. He's most definitely a puppy.
We were lucky enough to find him online when he was almost 4 months old. We submitted a two page application (which seemed a bit much) and were accepted a week later. I knew when I saw his picture that he was our dog. It sounds hokey but I did. This is the picture.
Over Thanksgiving break we drove about an hour to visit him for the first time. He was small, skinny, sickly, very, very stinky and scared to pieces. He sat on the grass in front of us and quivered. Iain and the boys questioned that he was 'meant to be' ours as I kept telling them. I didn't. I must admit his stench was a bit alarming but he was ours. We did not take him that day. We went home to 'discuss'. I called the foster mom back the next day and told her we were still interested but wanted a full vet work up on what was going on. The following day I received a call. He needed meds (shocker) but they would pay for everything. Iain decided to take a leap of faith based on the assurance of his insane, sappy wife :-). Four days after we met him for the first time, he was home with us. I can confidenty say we are all glad he's here!
Now, 6 weeks later, we're still having fun with this little guy! The kids take turns walking him every morning and Iain and I walk him every night. He is training pretty well. He can sit, stay, roll over, shake and occasionally come when called. He also eats electrical cords, barbies, slippers, and anything that belongs to the cat. Pretty talented huh?? This quirky, silly dog fits in perfectly around here!
