It was 4 years ago this month that we lost our dog, Chloe. We have talked about getting another dog, but haven't done much about getting one. Today, Shane was surfing on some local animal shelter Web sites and found Stanley, pictured above. We've discussed that we would like to get either a pug or a French bulldog. Stanley looked like the perfect choice.
We jumped right in the car and drove to the Arlington, VA, animal shelter. We got there and asked about Stanley and we were immediately warned that there were already applications for him ahead of us. We met Stanley anyway and got to play with him a bit in their outside area. He was adorable, of course, but wasn't that interested in us. He was a stray and they estimate he is about 2 years old. I would have taken him home immediately, but that wasn't in the cards.
We did fill out an application, but there are FOUR other applications ahead of us. So, it isn't likely we'll get Stanley. Luckily, Stan is going to be getting a home, though, we just wish it was with us. Anyway, we'll keep looking.
