It was love at 1st sight. I had decided it was time for another dog after my previous dog passed. I was watching the ads on the internet site from the shelter in the next town over and I saw a puppy as cute as could be, so I went to check him out. When I got there I told them who I wanted to see, + they told me to wait outside, that they would go get him. I sat down, then all of a sudden this little black dog came running to me all happy and excited. He sniffed me, he kissed me and then he picked up my pocketbook which was bigger than him and dragged it towards the door, looking back at me like he was saying, come on, let's get out of here. I filled out the adoption papers and left. The next day I went back to see him and the exact thing happened again with my handbag after he ran to me, then kissed me. I asked if I could take him and they said they still had to check my references. The next day, #3 I went to visit him again and the pocketbook incident happened again, only this time they told me I could take him home. It has been unconditional love ever since. Blackie will be 10 years old on April 6th and we still love each other unconditionally. A match made in heaven.
