I posted early lastar about losing my boy Jack, and how hard that was. Well, 2021 was determined to top 2020, and we lost my girl Lily too. Both rescues, and both held a solid chunk of my heart. Was very rough saying goodbye, though they both made that hardship more than worthwhile when they were around.
So in late March, my wife and I adopted Chopper from a rescue society in Cochrane. He is about 2, a serious mutt, no idea of providence...and a super dog. Feeling like our luck in adoptions is holding, we picked up Lola a month later, also a rescue from a different society. Lola is around 2 as well, possibly saluki/great dane with a spatter of others thrown in. The two are fast friends, and probably burn tens of thousands of calories a day turning my yard into what looks like a horse track. Could not be happier.
Well, actually I could be if they were able to meet Jack and Lily.
