Our Gracie



look what found us at the B.est W.estern two weekends ago!

We drove to a city that is about an hour west of here to visit some friends from Seattle who were over staying with family. As we went out to the parking lot Saturday evening for a night-on-the-town (which turned out to be a booth near the door at a pretty seedy bar with karaoke that all four of us thought we'd vacate after a drink, but by then had won us over) this joyful doggy came bounding towards us. She licked all of us and scampered around, looking as adorable as can be. Our friend H begged us to take this sweet puppy home. Mr. C said that if she was still there in the morning that we would take her. Morning came late for us but when we walked into the parking lot again, sure enough she was bounding towards us with her tail wagging like crazy. I looked at her and looked at Mr. C and he just walked toward the car. He said that if she climbed in when he opened the door that we would take her home.

A trip to the vet came shortly after and now she is almost 100% recovered from her surgery (once we were home we discovered that she was in heat). She is very healthy (ribs are still showing, but we are feeding her well) and sooooo happy.
