Sunday evening we posted an ad in the Advocate that we had found a dog, and then Monday Drason called and let the Dog shelter know. So after 4 days with "fluffy" his owners call and claim him, at 10:30 last night.
This is both good and bad - it's great because we really didn't think we wanted another dog, but it is really bad because the boys had gotten so attached - even after repeated talks about - "fluffy will have to go home"
So Macguines very solemnly says to me last night - "I guess God wanted fluffy to live at someone elses house." He gives the couple their dog and is very grown up. He didn't even cry while they were there - I was so proud of him. They offered a reward, but we refused so they gave it to Macguines.
As soon as the front door is closed the tears start, and we all have a talk about how we would want to go home with our family if we were lost. Macguines tearfully goes to bed around midnight.
This morning he was so tired and his eyes were so red I decided to allow him a mental health day from school, and instead of going on the field trip we had planned, we went on the central Ohio tour of county animal shelters to find, you guessed it, Fluffy the 2nd. After all day and no luck we see an ad in the Advertiser, and guess how much Macguines had to pay for Fluffy the 2nd? The reward money!
So Fluffy the 2nd is currently hiding under the computer table while I type - but all is well again in the Sillin house - no more tears - Fluffy is here :-)
Sweet Dreams

Do you still have Midnight???
Oh yes! we still have Midnight. She is three times the size of fluffy the 2nd - who we have renamed "Monty" but he will bark at her and she will lay on the floor and cry, they are so cute together though, They play and both seem to be happier when they are together.
