Smitten

We are absolutely smitten!

Meet Brinkley, our newest member of the family.

For quite sometime I have talked about our future golden~~

we were going to name her Lucy.

We decided it was time...we contacted a great organization here in Atlanta that places goldens. These dogs have been turned in for one reason or another. Surely this guy's former owner labored over the decision to turn him in.

Anyway~~

they are placed in a foster home,

given a clean bill of health,

all their shots, spayed/or neutered

& given lots of love until the perfect family comes along.

You first fill out an app, have a phone interview, & then if you make it through that- you have a home check.

The super sweet lady in charge of placing us with a dog called Thursday night to tell me she had a wonderful dog that she felt would be a perfect match for our family.

Well after meeting this precious boy , we were all completely smitten. His name was Snickers but after much family deliberation we decided on Brinkley & it really seems to fit his personality.

Lucy who? Well, maybe one day. But for now, we are head over heels for this boy!

He has such a sweet soul.

His fosters have never heard him bark.

He doesn't jump ...oh my!

When we sat down the first night for dinner, he gently laid down beside us...no begging!

No accidents....

I mean if we could find these characteristics in future son-in-laws for four girls we would have it made! HA!

Anyway, we feel so fortunate. Thank you Lord! Emi & Brinkley on his first night.

She laid down to pet him & fell asleep.

Slept right there the whole night- both of 'em!
