La historia de dos Hermanos

Leroy, the Puppy Boy, has been with us almost a year; July 4th to be exact (read about his April birthday.)  We are so, extremely lucky and overjoyed at how wonderful a boy he is and how brilliantly he enhances our lives.  My brain can't process how 55 weeks ago, he wasn't in our faces.  Running up to say hi when we get home; Tough-guy prancing around; seeing his cute little underbite; Always on the lookout for that pesky squirrel.  And simply being our sweet boy...
 
His adoption situation was a wonderful, unique experience coming from the Glendale Humane Socieity.  It was all about family and building a strong connection, rather than getting these buddies out the door.  I really appreciate that modern take, because we're now friends with the shelter staff, trainers and other puppy parents!  Between the crew and social media, we have an open door for continuing the sibling bonding experience most dogs don't get.  Seeing them grow and following their entire lives is now totally possible and totally necessary.  It's so fucking special!!  gah!

A few weeks back, I remembered one of Leroy's siblings, Mr. Bentley Jackson (formerly Dolce) was on Instagram.  I have an instagram account but figured me sending Bentley a photo from my face would be weird.  So I created one for Leroy!  You should check it out, cuz why the hell not.  Sorting through the complexities of the site, oogling how to send a message, realizing you can't send a message - man, all I wanted to do is tell him and his mum - hey, we're here!  But through pawseverance, score!  We connected and yesterday, about 50 weeks later, two sets of giant, most cuteably squishy ears reunited.

We're so fucking lucky.  xo x a million.
