We really miss this girl! She's been living with her grandparents in Waco the past 5 months (Thank you!!!!) and we got to see her this weekend, which always makes us miss her more.
Riley was one of those life decisions that they say in pre-marital counseling not to make within the first year of marriage. Me being a dog person couldn't resist the thought of not having a dog as part of my family, and Craig was writing at home at the time and needed a companion.
So, in May of 2008, we decided to "look around" at dogs after I incessantly gawked at hundreds of sweet faces as I showed Craig the pictures from any and every website I could find! We decided to try a local rescue shelter Happy Endings Dog Rescue after we saw a cute little black and tan pup in foster care on their website. Craig and I couldn't stop smiling when we met this timid, yet joyful dog in the lobby. As soon as we left "because we had to think about it," Craig and I were already calling family members to tell them how cute she was and Craig was figuring out how to pick her up the next day while I was in class.
Riley was 6 months old when we adopted her into our small family. Riley is sooo smart as a German Shepherd mix and has tons of neat tricks. Her favorite thing to do is catch the ball (literally, she will do it for HOURS!) We think about her daily and are so excited for when we can be with her again!
