Bree and I went to the Humane society this weekend looking for a dog. We had a german shapard in mind (named Ellie), she was 6 and had led a pretty rough life. Well, shortly after we got there, it turned out an old couple had already called to see her, and they adopted her on the spot (she was a good dog. nice people got her though)
Anyway, we looked at the dogs again, and their was one that had stared at us with those "pet me" eyes that dogs do so well. he was a border collie mix named Walter, here's his pic from the local hs site:
We were told there was another family that was thinking of adopting him, but they needed to see if he got along with their dogs okay. we are hoping he doesnt. he is 10 months old, fixed, and already knows "sit". he listens well, and i had an instant bond with him. it will kill me if the other people adopt him... Our application is pending, and we are REALLY hoping we luck out on this one...
