I'm IN LOVE!!!

Sis-in-Law became a new mother yesterday, May 31, 2008. I am now the proud parent of an absolutely GORGEOUS, sweet, four-legged baby - she's an English Cream Golden Retriever named ZOE. We adopted her yesterday from the Emerald Coast Golden Retriever Rescue ( www.ecgrr.com ) . The entire process from start to finish was smooth as silk. The volunteers come to your home and do an interview with the family to see if they can match them to one of the Goldies they have in foster care. We had already chosen the one we wanted from the list on their website, and lucky for us, the adoption that had been pending fell thru, and we were next on the list.

Anyway, all I can say is that we found an absolute angel right here on earth. She is so sweet-natured, and so laid back - she couldn't possibly fit in with our lazy butts any more than she does. She's got about 10-15 lbs. to lose, so she & I walk twice a day around the block. We'll work up to a mile in the a.m., and a mile in the evening, but right now, we're only hassling our way thru 1/4 mile each time. But we'll get it, and we'll BOTH be sexy & sleek before you know it. :-)
