grr I already typed this whole thing out with pictures and then my internet explorer closed it.... so here we go again!
On Monday we brought Rae home! She weighs in at just over 3lbs (Wrigley is just over 6lbs but looks massive compared to her).
We adopted her from a lady who has to relocate back to China for her job. She said she didn't want to take her with her because with the China airlines they aren't very good with pets and don't really care if they make it or not. She said she has heard horror stories about the pets dying and them pretty much saying so what. She didn't want to pet her through that and chance her not making it so she decided to give her up.
We met with her last Friday so we could see if her and Wrigley would get along. She also wanted to meet us in person so she could decide if we could give her a loving home. She decided we could/would.
Her name is actually Rainer- she bought her from a puppy store and it was pouring down rain that day... she knew that she was probably the product of a puppy mill and said she never dreamed of buying a dog from a puppy store because she didn't want to support the puppy mills but she said she felt sooo bad for her because she couldn't even stand up in the crate because the crate holes were too big for her little self. So she was sleeping in her food bowl!
I'm not fond of the name Rainer, so we have been calling her Rae for now, which she seems to respond to. We are still debating on creating our own name for her in addition to Rae/Rainer.
Now for some pictures! Introducing Rae!!
On the way home from picking her up:
