Arrival Story:
When my husband (Jim) and I bought our home, I started getting that "need a dog again" itch. For years, I could never find an apartment locally where dogs were allowed. Jim had never owned a dog before, and wasn't quite sure we had the time or the money as new home-owners to dedicate to a new family member. My selective hearing tuned all this out and I began the search for a new pup. Enter petfinder.com. I started looking at dogs and fell head over heels in love with her when I saw her picture! I called my mom, and with a mutual friend we made the 2+ hour (each way) trip to her rescue, where she had been brought from a kill shelter in GA. Some lady from NJ had wanted to adopt her, but I was there first, with the $$$, proof of age and home ownership, ready to go to war over this dog that had been on my mind every second for the previous week...I think the lady at the rescue knew I was a force to be reckoned with. She called the lady from NJ and told her "no deal." Stopping at a rest stop to let her pee, some lady asked if she could buy her from me. So, like any new mother, I bared my teeth and claws and politely told her I had a husband at home, unknowingly awaiting the arrival of his 1st puppy. I brought Mokie home to Jim's total surprise and absolute delight (I think he got a little choked up!). Luckily, when I went back with my mom the next week to adopt her new baby (a purebred English Springer, rescued from a puppy mill in MO), the last of Mocha's litter was waiting for the lady from NJ to take her home...all's well that ends well, I guessed. Jim, then 32 years old, had wanted a dog since he was 7! I surprised him with Mocha, and needless to say, he is a dog lover for life now, and is madly in love with our spoiled princess poo-poo. He was as happy as a four year old on Christmas morning! Now, all we have to do is live happily ever after with our priceless princess... Rescue dogs rock!
