I am so happy!

Today was a wonderful day at Animal Services. Some of you might remember that I wrote about the two sweet pit bull mixes that have been languishing there for sometime. Spanky and Lulu. They are both so sweet and gentle, if they were any other breed, they would be adopted long ago. Lulu was starting to show signs of "shelter shock", the stress that comes of a pack animal having to live in near isolation much of the day except for the loud noises of the other dogs. Today, a very nice middle-aged couple from Half Moon Bay came and adopted Lulu! They had another pitbull mix that they loved and finally had passed away so they were looking for another one. Lulu just charmed them. We are so glad she went to a good home. Now, there is still Spanky. He is the sweetest guy. I was walking him today and had to keep looking down to see if he was still on the leash. No pulling at all. Just happy to walk along at my side. Other dogs? He doesn't give them any attention. People? He rolls over on his back to have his tummy rubbed.

Anyone out there who knows of someone looking for a good pitbull mix, please send them to Palo Alto Animal Services to see Spanky. For now, I tip back a glass for the adoption of Lulu. Hooray!
