Little Man on Campus

Oh Little Ziggy. Small but mighty, no one would ever guess the rough start you have had in your first few months of life. Dumped at a shelter, you came to Westside with the death sentences of parvo and distemper. But you are a fighter and somehow managed to land yourself in my arms on the Summer solstice. 

on our way

Knowing that I can't say no, Csilla called me to see if we would take you and within the hour I met you both in the parking lot of Denny's. My Carmen girl came along for the ride and when we pulled in I couldn't help but grin. You are all eyes and ears. Giant cartoon character-esque eyes and even bigger ears that express your curious nature. Csilla handed you over, you cried your eyes out as you were micro-chipped, and we were on our way. We weren't in the car 2 minutes before you pooped in the back seat (good thing I had put a towel down) and Carmen decided she was riding shot gun the rest of the way home. 

I didn't tell Matt about our newest addition and waited for him to discover you on his own. When he got home he went to say hello to all of the mutts and gasped upon the discovery. He too could not suppress his laughter when he saw you. He of course loved you from the very first second and is so excited to have another little man in the house. 

You met the Grump and Scrooge for the first time yesterday (I didn't tell them either). I could tell they wanted to sigh in despair for me taking on another dog but they got so wrapped up in your cuteness that they forgot all about being annoyed! We took you to the school to play fetch with the big dogs and you walked around like you owned the joint.

Carmen and Degan have been giving you the discipline you need while Dunne and Paisley have taught you the joys of being a puppy.  I know you won't be with us long because anyone would be a fool not to snatch you up, but we will soak up each moment we have together.
