Bond. Eames Bond

I wanted to wait till after the Holidays; but sometimes love finds you.
Hubby had been wanting a second, manly-man, dog but I hesitated.  But my hesitation didn't last long when we saw a gangly golden retriever at the San Francisco SPCA.  Porsche's face was full of love and yet loneliness at the same time.  Her sweetness proved hard to resist; not just for Mike and I but Sasa too!

Porsche came home with us that very night.

After we picked up a new leash, a spanking new Kong, and a new name, we couldn't wait to get Eames settled into her new home.

It's been just about a month now and Eames has adjusted to her new home with flying colors.  She's learned so much already.  She sits politely before each meal, she takes such very good care of her Duck, and she roughhouses with Sasa like she's done it all her life. We are watching her slowly bloom and gain new confidence each day.



But It also hasn't been easy... we've had to break some animal shelter habits, find a homeopathic cure for a UTI, and suffer endless bouts of carsickness.  But it's all worth it to give this little lady a loving home, away from her stray past.  We've had 30 days to reassure Eames-y Girl that she is finally home and we'll never let anything happen to her. Not ever again.

Sasa, her BFF, feels the very same way.
