I Gotcha!

Today is Miss Tesla's Gotcha/Birthday!  I brought her home 4 years ago today.

I knew she was mine when I took her into the meeting room at the shelter and the first thing she did, ignoring treats, was lick my face.  It was love.

Taking care of the pooches this week in the "arctic vortex" reminded me of bringing Tess home that first day at the beginning of January.  During our first walk, she stopped 4 blocks from home and refused to go any further.  Luckily she was 20 pounds lighter back then because I had to carry her the rest of the way!

Happy Birthday, my love.  Here's to many more!
