Ok, I lied... I will post one more time before the weekend. What can I say, I got done playing with flowers earlier than I thought I would.
Today was the day for our meet and greet with Buddy's potential new roommate. He was dressed and ready to go looking all cute. Of course, I think he looks cute all the time, even when he is getting in himself into something he shouldn't be. He made his rounds around the space before the meeting. Then, Romeo came in. You could tell both Buddy and Romeo wanted to go straight for each other, but we walked in circles around the room just passing each other. Then, we walked from opposite corners of the room so they could pass and sniff each other. We did that three times. Let me tell you, each time got a little worse, and it wasn't Buddy being the problem child. Buddy and Romeo just were not meant to be roommates. There was growling and some tooth exposure and we called it good. We knew it wasn't a match and the people at the ARL were glad we understood that. How could we not. Each dog deserves a home were they can feel like it is their own. Our main man is Buddy, so we have to look out for him. We think Buddy got a little worked up over the whole thing because he came right home and went to sleep.
So, a new four legged friend wasn't in the cards for us today, and that is ok. We will keep looking. When the time is right, we will find a perfect playmate for Buddy. I always tell Andrew I think we were meant to find Buddy. He was there waiting for us. He had one prior adoption that had fallen through, it was meant to be! He was meant to come to our house and bring such joy to our lives. He has been in our heart and home for six months now and we love him more each day.
