Caleb's 4-H club had been going to our local pound every Tuesday morning in July for 2 hours as their service project. They help walk and groom the dogs. It was on Caleb's first week that he got to walk and groom Teddy. The next week when we went back, Teddy was standing at the fence like he was waiting for Caleb. As I pulled out of the parking lot I had an idea. Elton wants to be in 4-H next year, but we only have one dog. Not ready to go through having a puppy again this seemed like a viable option. I called Dan to see what he thought and he gave the ok.
Thus, when I came back to the pound, I started asking some questions about Teddy. He is a pomeranian that they think is about 10 years old. He is a friendly little guy and as fuzzy as can be. Apparently his family decided to drop off all of their dogs. So we adopted Teddy and he has just blended right into the household. He is housebroken, gets along with Mimi, loves the boys and is very laid back. The plan is that Elton will train Mimi in 4-H next year and Teddy will be Caleb's. Caleb has been very excited and has taken on all of Teddy's responsibilities.

I absolutely loved this story, Shelley! I have such a soft-spot for animals in shelters and long to adopt each and every one of them. Stories like this bring happy tears to my eyes! What a lucky dog! ;)
