Operation Atlanta was a Success!! We are now the proud owners of an ADORABLE little Boston Terrier, affectionately called Lil Tink : ) Its kind of a long story, but I'll give the highlights
On Christmas Eve, I was casually searching through petfinder still looking for THE dog of my life, when on like page 12, little Tinkerbells picture popped up... i read her profile and was hooked. I HAD to have her. I gave Nick the puppy dog eyes and he knew I was serious... so i sent an email to Linda and she told us we could apply for this special little girl...
Almost a month to the day and many many conversations with Charli, Tinks foster mom and now god-mother, we were ready for the drive! Lil Tink, here we come!
We left on friday and got to Gastonia NC, the 2/3rds mark and where we were staying that night.
After barely sleeping, we got to Petco in Sandy Springs GA EARLY and had to WAIT! talk about suspense!!! We finally met Charli and lil Tink was on another Van... so..... when Charli brought her in, it was TOTALLY still Love at first meeting. Tears and laughs and smiles. Tink wasn't totally sold on us initially, but we brought out the secret weapon-- SNAUSAGES-- and we were in!!!! we played with her and talked with her and Charli for a good 45 min to an hour. We met Linda, Anne, Pat and so many others who helped to make this a reality. WHAT A PLEASURE!!! It was so much fun seeing everyone and just a little bit of what they do. So after some paperwork and hugs and pictures we started the journey home a little before 2pm on saturday.
She was good the first night : ) starting out sleeping in her bed, but then came up to visit after she went out at 1130. Man does she know how to sleep and SNORE!!! she loves to cuddle : )
She was a doll the WHOLE RIDE HOME. Not a word out of her, she slept, she snuggled, she was a comlete dream.
But boy were we glad-- all of us-- to get home. She knew instantly this was home. She ate a hearty dinner, gave her a bath (what an ANGEL!! is there anything this dog gives a hard time about?!?) and now she's here with her little red hoodie sitting on my lap.
So thats the deal... we're here spoiling her. We did make her stay in her bed while we ate (no beggars---the bed was right next to the table for pete's sake : ) and she fell alseep. We'll post pics for all to enjoy the little beauty. This girl was totally meant for us!!!

Hey kids!! So excited about your new lil girl :) I'm always a sucker for the Bostons. I know you three have a beautiful life ahead of you full of cuddles, walkies and cookies.
I love the Snausages approach. We actually used a similar approach with Dina, but we had Scooby Snacks. That was before I became the food nazi and swore off grocery store dog anything :) :)
We need a rematch game of cards soon!
Sarah
agreed on the rematch! Well we used snausages because we were told they were her favorite. we're sitching her over to a more natural diet...but prolly not as natural as Dina's. What a great little girl!
honestly, we need to find another time to meet up : )
God Bless the "Boston" that has his own.....forever family, that is. God Bless you and your husband for choosing the one always left behind. Believe me, she will be a blessing to you and your family for all her days.
I have 2 BT's - saw your post of Woof.
