PUPPIES & Pups

Attached are some pics the beagle puppy Aeon and I looked at in Jan. They were all so precious, and cute as all get out but none of them grabbed us like we anticipated. We're looking for a pup and so badly want a little 4 legged friend to add to our home and life together. We started looking a little prematurely right before my January trip to LA and right before we moved into our new apartment. The little beagle puppy was almost coming home with us when we decided to go look at the shelter...
At the shelter we ran into Sunshine a little mutt with blonde fur, who could run and jump like no other dog I've seen. She was calm and smart and fast and could keep up with us on our adventures into nature. She was precious and absolute perfection... we were so excited and we looked at each-other with tears of joy in our eyes and the dog between us ... and said "we're getting her" and hugged(dog in middle). Sunshine was so so so excited she looked up at us with absolute excitement... she knew... she knew she had found a family. When we went to the front to ask if they could hold her for a few days while we sorted out the apartment and got all the paperwork taken care of to have a pet .. the shelter let us know THEY DON'T HOLD animals.. its a first come first serve facility. We couldn't take her that day. We called and exhausted all resources and we ended up not getting her because we weren't moved into out apartment yet and it was going to take some time to pull the pet deposit $ together... talk about trauma. Word to the wise don't go to the pound and look at pups unless you're ready to walk away with one. I was heart broken and I could tell it really got to Aeon too. Its a no kill shelter so hopefully she went to a beautiful home where she was loved. Soon, we'll start the process of getting a pup.
