dispatches from quilt city

J-O-B=D-O-G

Since this summer, the deal with Nicholas has been I have to get a job before we can get a dog. So two days after becoming the newest employee at Planned Parenthood we are now the proud parents of a small terrier puppy named Maggie.

It was fate. We have been looking at shelters for a while. I was becoming discouraged because we couldn't find a smaller dog like we wanted. Last night, I had started looking into buying one and was going to start calling today. However, we were in Chapel Hill showing a visiting friend when Nicholas suggested going by the shelter. Right inside the door, they have cages for featured pets, usually cats. As we walked in a woman was closing the cage door for a little puppy. Turns out it was Maggie's foster mom who had just dropped her off so people could look at for a little while. We were the first ones to see and of course adopted her immediately. We get to pick her up tomorrow so we spent the rest of today stocking up on puppy supplies and doing our research on house training.

And yes for all those who are wondering...she is the cutest puppy EVER!
