Adoption Diaries: There Are Faces I Remember

Elyse’s Adoption Diary:

 
I fell in love with a whitey again. You really can’t blame me—just look at Owen.

 
See? Now you’re in love with him, too.

 
But you don’t have to be conventionally beautiful to earn my love. You can be a short, stocky bulldog with a skin infection, and you can snort like a hog, and I’ll love ya even more! Meet Treasure. Now there’s a mug you can wake up to every day, one that will put a smile on your face 10 years later.

 
 
Talk about an odd couple! Here’s Treasure and his former roommate, Kimberly, a tiny stretchy girl with an underbite.  I say “former” because yesterday Treasure went home to a foster parent who is looking to adopt him! Hooray!

 
Funny face, you’ve got the cutest little funny face! This is Sherbert, and ain’t he delicious? Of course, any time there’s a cage card that reads “lap cat” I have to investigate. Just to, you know, make sure they’re telling the truth. 

Verdict? Yep, it’s the truth!

I leave you with some silly mugs. Enjoy!

	If you’re like me, and have reached the capacity for how many pets you can comfortably have in your home, volunteering at your local shelter is a great way to fulfill your need to play with long-haired cats and giant dogs. And all the rest, of course. Oh yeah, and the animals benefit, too!
