Puppy Power, Guardian Angels, Pay it Forward

My son is turning twelve and we decided to let him get a puppy.  Now, this would be just fine except our house already consists of two adults (me and the hubby), four kids, two older dogs, a potbellied pig, a fish and a turtle - can you say, eieio!  At any rate, this would be, as he says, "his first pet with fur" and he was thrilled.  We headed to our local animal shelter to pick out the pup and Jagur (my son) and Alley (the pup) fell in love.  As we went to purchase Alley, we were surprised to find that the lady before us had paid for us to adopt Alley!  It seems she was adopting a puppy that was brought in along with two others.  The person that dropped off the three also paid for their adoptions - that's the way to do it!  So, of course we paid it forward and contributed to another adoption.  We, on occassion, donate food to the shelter, but have to admit we would have never thought of sponsoring an adoption had it not been for Alley's angels.  By the way, last night was her first night in the house and she slept all night with no whining!
