On February 19, 2011, Joseph and I welcomed a new little girl into our family. Now, before you get excited and think that I had a baby and just was holding out on ya'll, let me tell you that Ava is a puppy. We adopted her from Operation Paws for Homes. She was rescued from a high-kill shelter in NC not long after she was born. Ava had a rough start to her life (she's 13 weeks old). Out of her litter, only three or four survived. They had all contracted some sickness from the shelter they were in. She was all skin and bones when we adopted her even though she had a clean bill of health.
Her first day home.
President's day. Third day after adoption. See how skinny she was!?
She loves to snatch whatever Rocky has right out of his mouth.
What messes, Mom?
MY dragon!
Sleepy baby
Now, if you look closely, Ava seems to have a foot growing out of her tummy. That's Rocky's back leg. She lays on top of Rock and he lets her.
Aren't they just SO sweet together??

they are too cute!
Rocky is so laid back. She looks like she had been beside him the whole time.
So glad you considered adoption of a dog, rather then purchasing. All of our cats have been adopted. Our area is so lucky that we have so many no-kill shelters that will house animals until they are adopted.
