Meet Jack...
After 2+ plus years of waiting (and let's not forget the months of searching for a pet friendly apartment), Mike and I finally got a dog! HOORAY!
Unfortunately, the adoption of our friend's 5 year old bulldog didn't pan out. Our friend is in the middle of some difficult life changes but isn't ready or willing to give up his girl (kudos for him trying to do all that he can to keep her but it was his idea to give her to us in the first place). So Mike and I started looking a little over 2 weeks ago but were having a difficult time finding one that seemed right for us, not to mention that some shelters and rescue organizations make adopting a dog much harder than adopting a kid.
On Saturday, we finally decided to stop by some shelters to take a look. And there we met Jack. Jack became a member of our family 4 days ago and so far it's been going much better than expected. We are thrilled that we found Jack and are able to give him a home.
I promise some more updated pictures soon.
