Meet Hazel.
She's a one year old chihuahua mix. We saw her picture on the Tri-county Humane Society's website and knew we had to met her - tell me you wouldn't feel the same!
Unfortunately she was not available for viewing; the first time we visited she was on a road trip to the University of Minnesota. On top of that, the helpful staff at the front desk let us know that someone else had placed a deposit on her. Her forever family was scheduled to pick her up in a week.
I tried to let things go - I knew the right puppy would find us at the right time.
I kept checking the website in search of our new friend. A few days later I noticed Hazel's picture was still posted. For some reason - call it intuition, or more accurately obstinance - I decided to call and check on Hazel's status.
The kind gal on the phone said she thought Hazel was no longer at the shelter, but she'd double check. Turns she was back from the U in a few days (standard spaying and microchipping procedures courtesy of the veterinary students) - and the family who had previously reserved Hazel changed its mind and rescinded the deposit...
My belly was full of butterflies when I was told we could meet her on Saturday...and before I knew it I was giving the receptionist my credit card number to make my own deposit. Somehow I knew it was meant to be :)
Hazel joined our family on February 25th, 2012.
I hope to chronicle Hazel's adventures here, among other things.
Cheers,
Jami
