My partner and I have wanted a dog collectively and
individually for quite some time. We
looked on various sites and heard of dogs through word of mouth. I came across the Manitoba Mutts Dog Rescue
through an internet search. We looked and fell in love with the sweet face of
what looked to be a golden lab mix. We
applied to meet her instantly.
We were both nervous and excited to meet her. Our nerves
were quickly calmed as she was sweeter than expected. We even got to meet her
mom, Sunshine (now Marley). Both their
temperaments were great. Her mom had a love for couches, (a trait Layla soon
adopted) and was gentle but alert. Layla
was a tired pesky puppy that night and only wished to play in short spurts and
kept belly flopping onto the floor to rest. We came prepared with a leash, and
we decided to take her home that night.
I think all three of us smiled all the way home.
From the night-time cries that broke our heart to naps on
the couch, we honestly could not be happier.
While Layla will be big girl, she thinks she is a lap dog and cannot get
enough cuddles. She has her own goofy
personality that is keeping us on our toes (literally! She keeps stealing our
socks). We introduced her quickly to the
car, our friends and the joys of the great outdoors. Our lives in this short time have already
improved. It is great to have someone
overjoyed to see you come home, feels refreshing to go out on long evening
walks and we are meeting new people all the time as everyone just has to say hello
to our gorgeous golden girl. Even though it has been less than two months since
we adopted her I can say with all honesty that she is exactly what our ‘family’
was missing.
We just can’t wait for the rest of summer full of swimming,
camping, trips to the dog park and walks around the community. I would highly suggest, f you are serious
about owning a dog, to consider a Manitoba Mutt Dog Rescue Dog. Not only have we been connected with a great
community of dog lovers, but everyone knows that mutts are the way to go!
