Some might say it's too early for another pup, but I've learned that we don't get to choose the time, or the pup. Not to get all otherworldly or anything, but I truly believe that God delivers a dog that needs a good, loving home to those that have one to give. Guess it was our turn. Again.
Meet Ernie (he is on the left). He was in the local shelter for over a month before going to a foster for the last few weeks. Saw his picture on the website and couldn't get in touch with his foster quick enough. They brought him over this morning to meet Luna and when he walked in the house, she had her hackles up. A few minutes of nose to nose and she warmed a bit.
Then the magic happened. Let them both outside and they couldn't stop running after each other for almost a half hour. When they finally stopped, they both lay next to each other on the deck, panting, tongues hanging out. Brought some water out and Ernie got up to get a drink. Luna followed right alongside and both started drinking together at the same time. After they finished, Luna started licking Ernie's face. When I saw Ernie actually smile, I knew he was ours.
He has Simon's gentle spirit, but doesn't hesitate to play and have a good time. He is a big, goofy lug and I can tell he will like his naps. I can almost hear Simon give his approval and tell Luna to have fun with her new playmate. She has been quite lonely without another fury friend to pal around with, and I could see she heard Simon's encouragement. She seems really happy again. Now, to teach him to ride on the golf cart.
