Now I could have gone on and on about how fantastic it has been to have a dog. But I actually think that I won't - it is enough to read the blog :) But I remember so clearly how we went to look at dogs and found this amazingly cute and a bit shy puppy - she became totally still when we picked her up. We "discussed" for another day, but we both knew we had lost our hearts to this little one. When we picked her up, she was brought in the trunk of a car - a little, white, scared ball of hair in the darkest corner of the trunk. She sat on my lap in the car the two hours drive home, making strange sounds. We sopped once on the way and let her out on a lawn. She was jogging around, wagging happily and sniffing at this gigantic world that has suddenly appeared. Now and then she would return to us and then go off again ("off" then meant maybe 5 meters away).
We got her a bed and left her in the car for two hours while we went to a theater play. We were a bit nervous how she would take being left alone, but when we came back, she had fallen asleep. That bed became her safe, quiet place for the next days, as she slowly started to "explore" our appartment. To go to bed that evening and hear the breathing of a small dog beside us was special..
Thanks, Maja: It has been a great year :)
