Better to Beg Permission...

than ask forgiveness, sometimes. Unbeknownst to my husband, who was working out of town, I brought home another shelter dog to make number 4 in the pack. Our youngest needed a playmate and despite hubby's opposition, I just... you know. Just happened to be near the municipal shelter... just happened to stop in... just happened to have my checkbook...I was captivated by a gorgeous set of blue eyes on the weirdest looking dog in the shelter. Forty dollars and she was mine. Two days later, hubby was due home, and between the first vet visit and... um, some damage at home, I was in major trouble. $1500+ dollars worth of trouble! The lovely Sula came in like a lion! I was eventually forgiven, and Sula is a cherished member of the pack and the goofiest, funniest dog we've ever known! Her pictures speak for themselves...
