We adopted two pets after returning from Singapore which was one of our dreams! We looked at websites for months before arriving...it takes time and luck to get just the right pets.
One day we were vising Nonna and Nonno when we decided to check out the Oakville Milton Humane Society. We had visited the Toronto Humane Society but did not see any cats that matched the bill.
We were looking for a short haired domestic tabby about one year of age and a male. And who should we find in Oakville...you guessed it! Named "Nemo" by the volunteers, we brought home our big kitten on Sunday March 22, 2014. Actually we brought it directly to the nonni for the first night which was a tradition started with Mowgli.
And doing homework now is a lot more fun! And what about a big, wet nose to add to the mix!? You guessed it! On May 25th, we adopted Butler from Lab Rescue Canada also out in Oakville. Can you guess where he spent his first night! At the nonni and he did not scratch the floors or vomit like Mowgli did either! I saw a photo posted by Almira Haupt on her Facebook page but after reading the comments from people who wanted to adopt Butler, I thought we did not stand a chance! But three weeks, I happened to check the Lab Rescue website and saw Butler was still up for adoption!! I talked to Al who said they always wait to find the best family for their dogs who are temporarily placed in foster homes.
Next thing you know, we are completing the on-line form and phone interviews and then the big day came to meet Butler, his foster mom from Collingwood and a rep from Lab Rescue. And the rest is history!
A boy with his dog. There is no seen more beautiful. Ok, maybe a boy with his cat above. Either way, we got two very happy boys whose dreams of having some pets have come true!
Oh, the joy of pets! They are without number!
