![]() I really wish that picture was of my birthday cupcakes, but it is not... Today I did not run... I mean, I am 32 now so I need to give my poor body a break right?? Instead it was Starbucks and time with Tyler and Justus... and.... a new friend! Today we officially adopted a new shelter buddy. His name is Bud and he is the sweetest! Well, second to Justus, but very close! We got him from the Pitt County Animal Shelter where we volunteer. I have seen him a few times before, but something happened on Thursday where I decided that I needed him. On Friday, Tyler and I went to see if he would get along with Justus and lets just say Justus was not having it. I was upset and in tears by the time we left. I was crushed and feeling so low. On Saturday, Stephanie met me at the shelter for a retrial (haha) and Justus did much better. We took the dogs to the park where they got to lose some energy and Justus was able to lose some attitude. I took some time to decide if this was what we really wanted to do, and ultimately decided before the end of the day that Bud was coming home with me. We got to have a "trial weekend" and by Sunday we were in love with him. He loves to cuddle, and has moved in with no issues. He is even house broken. How lucky are we?? Today I went by to sign paperwork and made it official. It is very fitting that today is my birthday... a new chapter, and a new friend. I knew 2014 was going to be special!
