Delta -Anne & Southern Dash : A rescue story

On February the 13 we had bring your dog to work day. Our clinical director was on vacation and she hates dogs. So we decided to bring our dogs to work and take pictures of them around the office.
It's been about 8 months since our Noella passed away . A lot of my friends have been pushing me to get another dog. But I just wasn't ready yet. I've gone to the shelter once or twice but none of the dogs made me remotely happy. 
My friend ET wanted to go to the shelter since she didn't bring her dog to work and invited Chels and SE.
The shelter closest to our work wasn't open yet but the lady let us come in after SE told the owner that my puppy passes away. I decided when Noella passed away I didn't want another small dog . I really wanted a  khaki lab. No Idea why but that's just what was on my mind.
 There were 2 dogs  at the shelter that I thought were cute but none of them made me excited . So we went to the other shelter. We walked in and the second dog  fit my description to a T of what I wanted. The worker who was patrolling around was kinda strange but he asked if I wanted to walk her and I said yes but I wanted to wait until I saw all the dogs.
While looking through the shelter I realized that first pup was the only one I really liked.

The shelter helper put her on a leash and she took off. She was super hard to control but I imagined she was tired of being in that smelly pin.   I decided that she was going to be my dog . I already had options for names so I immediately started calling her Delta . I left her outside with SE so I could go get cash and while I was out I got a call from a friend at the office . She told me one of her friends got a yellow lab puppy from a lady on FB who lives near Ruston. Her dog had 11 puppies and after several weeks of caring for them they just couldn't anymore due to expenses. I told her to tell the lady I wanted one . I went back to the shelter picked up Delta Anne and signed paperwork.
My friend Chels ended up getting a dog to surprise her husband for valentines day.  So here we are 4 girls 2 huge dogs in a Nissan Altima  which leather seats

When we got back to work Delta was in full force running across the parking lot . We got into the office where everyone was at with their dogs and 2 minutes later Delta squats and poops the smelliest and largest turd in canine life .

One of my co workers took her outside as I removed the crap from our carpet.
( what a great first impression.) Then of course I had to take her to my house to change cars and then to the vet we went.
I chose a vet that I heard a friend of mine talk about. All the girls thought Delta Anne was a precious name and how adorable she is. I really cant believe someone didn't want to adopt her.
1st car ride!- You see I had no idea how to put this harness on . ( 5 minute Dirt Cheap special)
 The vet checked her out and to Pet Smart and the Dollar Tree  we went to buy goodies.
I had been texting the lady from Fb all evening and she was coming through my town to go out of town so I met her at Brookshires.  When she pulled up she had two kids in the car. I could see her daughter mouthed " you're meeting a black woman" And the lady said "apparently so. " Imagine my disgust  ( eye roll and side eye)  After some small talk I got my hands on the precious soft little little boy. His name is Southern Dash .  I had Delta Anne in the car and she said Oh you have a older lab too. Oh great I'm so happy. Little did she know I just got Delta too.
HA














 
The End!
