October '05 my elderly Shepherd went to Rainbow Bridge. DH & I agreed to wait until spring to get another dog.
A month later I was missing having a dog in my life and posted that on idog. A long-time member, Glenda, asked me if I would consider adopting one of her fosters. I was honored, delighted and amazed she would offer to let me adopt one of her adored fosters without knowing me in person.
She emailed me photos and I went home from work prepared to do majorly beg the DH to agree to adopt the one remaining female pup in the litter. Surprisingly he agreed!!!
Problem was Glenda was in MI and we live in NH. Glenda's son solved the problem by vising his parents on Thanksgiving and he volunteered to bring Molly home with him in NY where we met him.
Molly is now 9 months old and the apple of my eye. I had wanted a black/tan GSD since I was a child watching RinTinTin. I always had GSD mixes and a white GSD.
I adore Molly the Mauler and she has designated herself as my dog following me all over the house, laying at my feet and looking at me with adoration in her eyes - which is how I look back at her.
Thanks Glenda....you filled a huge void in my heart and I hope I can live up to your expectations in a home for Molly. I hopefully have many years with Molly to work at it.
