I love dogs. Not all of them, I confess, but a large majority. One day I WILL have a place with a yard where I WILL then get a dog. I WILL. I'm determined. I've already picked out a name if it's a boy. Baxter.
But for now....I must settle for playing with dogs when I get the opportunity.
And yesterday was a really great opportunity. At Barrel Oak Winery (see previous post) there were lots and lots of dogs - labs, retrievers, pugs, golden doodles, dachshunds, and the list goes on. It was so fun to see folks chilling outside with their dogs and be able to meet people as you pet their dog. Dogs really are the ultimate ice breaker.
So, BOW was having a pet adoption group there this weekend to spread the word and give people the opportunity to visit with some puppies that are available for adoption.
Our group was really hoping that Karen and her boyfriend Taylor were going to end up taking a puppy home, but they weren't 100% ready for it. (Granted, it's tough to have a dog in an apartment in the city, but they were mighty close to being convinced.)
Karen and Taylor obviously smitten with the puppy we hoped they were taking home:
So our group of 2 guys and 7 girls spent over an hour playing with, cradling, and petting some stinkin adorable (no really, one of these guys had some issues and was smelling up the place a couple of times....but was still adorable) german shepherd mix puppies.
So the black puppy's name was Mary Lou and her brother is Sam Huff -- here's Charlie holding Sam:
