On Monday evening, Jesse's sister walked in the door with an adorable little puppy. Of course Jesse's mouth dropped open and immediately and fell in love. Here is the long and short of it...
Jesse's sister works with a girl who's boyfriend's brother works at a storage unit. On Monday at work, she was telling Amanda that he found 5 boy puppies in an abandoned storage unit last week. Amanda had no intention of getting another pet because she already has 3 boys and 2 cats, but as soon as she saw the puppy she wanted it! Turns out the storage unit had been left unpaid for a few months and when he went to check on it he found a small milk crate with 5 puppies in it! The puppies were about 2 weeks old, starved, and very malnourished. The guy who found them was such a good person that he took all the puppies in, took them to the vet, and kept them until he could find good homes for them. When Amanda arrived with her new addition,she told us that there was one more left that needed a home. Obviously, Jesse jumped and said I want him! So, we met Eric about 30 minutes later and the rest is history...
We decided to name our puppy Leo, after the guy who found them. Amanda named hers Cyrus; go figure, another C named boy in her family! The best part is that Cyrus and Leo get to play together all the time and didn't have to be separated.
Another neat part about the story is that Jesse and I have always wanted to get a puppy someday but had trouble agreeing on what kind. I wanted a weimaraner and he wanted a black lab. Ironically, Leo is a black weimaraner and if you are familiar with that breed they look a whole lot like Labradors. We are so excited but overwhelmed already because he requires a lot of attention and has to be fed his formula every 3 hours. Below are some cute pictures we took...
