Here's Vern lying in the kitchen, next to the patio door, basking in the sun. He only began doing this the other day which seems funny to me. It's as if, day by day, he's feeling more and more comfy, cozy and at home here....his new Forever Home.
He is such a joy. I couldn't have gotten a more perfect dog, even if I'd ordered him from "Perfect Dogs for Lonesome Empty-Nester Moms Dot Com."
He loves to ride in the car with me when I go on quick errands. He LOVES to go for walks on his leash, which is a very good thing for me too, since I love to walk and definitely need to lose quite a few pounds.
Today is the beginning of his 2nd week with us and The Ronald and I are just crazy about him! So is our 23 year old son and his girl friend. They both want to come over and dog sit for us, which I'm sure we can arrange sometime.

Great photos of your new guy. It DOES look like he's feeling comfortable!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely that Vern has brought you all so much joy already. I bet he loves feeling the warm sun on himself. Bless!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you and Vern found each other! My granddog has been here this weekend and I spent morning with her in doggie ER. Has torn ligamnets and faces surgery eventually. I am so sad and worried about her. Son took her home while inflamation goes down and then will see....meanwhile, Vern looks cozy! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Vern is making himself at home. Sounds like he was just the right one for you. :)
ReplyDeleteThe top photo of Vern---with the pattern made by the light streaming in through the vertical blinds---you might think of submitting this to Lisa to possibly use on her BBF. (I'm sure you have many other photos you could send, if you haven't already.)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! He is a sweetheart for sure. I am so glad he has found his forever home and made you happy! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteHe looks SO comfortable and at home. Aren't animals wonderful? I was afraid of dogs when I was young, and then my children got dogs. I especially love a little Jack Russell Terrier named Milo, "son" of my youngest daughter and her husband.
ReplyDeleteI just know you'll LOVE Vern! Sounds like you're already basking in the warmth of each other!!
He's a cutie, that's for sure. I'm SO glad he's found a safe and loving home with you and your dear hubby. And I love that he enjoys lying in the sunshine...a dog after my own heart!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Love,
Patti
Vern found his sunbeam...and a great home - what more could he want?
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for all of you! There is nothing like accepting the love of a dog, and offering love in return. Our canine companions give their whole hearts.
ReplyDeleteAww, he's made himself right at home.
ReplyDeleteVern is adjusting so well. He sure is a handsome dog. Glad the family is enjoying him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie. He knows he has a good home!
ReplyDeleteit must have been a hard thing for Vern to relocate at this point in his life but what a lucky dog to find his way into your heart! I have a rescued min pin, leaning on my right knee - staring at me with eyes full of love. THEY KNOW we saved them!!!
ReplyDeleteBless. Can I adopt him to? He sounds such an adorable and loving pet.
ReplyDeleteVern is such a sweetie. I'm happy he is enjoying his time in the sun.

Sweet, sweet Vern. He is such a handsome lad! Wish we lived closer. We could walk our dogs together. I also need to get exercise and lose some pounds! hahah... Donna
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet picture! That Vern is one very handsome dude. I'm so happy you found such a wonderful canine companion, and I'm quite sure that Tiger-Gal at the Rainbow Bridge is wagging her tail in approval!

A new sweet, furry somebody to love! Congratulations--> Vern is simply adorable! As my all-time and forever hero once said, "I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive." -- Gilda Radner
ReplyDelete(P.S. Did you know Miss Radner had a dog named Sparkle? (<--cLiCkY-cLiCky to see the Yorkie who served as ring bearer at Gilda and Gene Wilder's wedding!)
Awww. He fits right in! Am so glad your life has a new beloved angel. And I'm sure he feels the same way.
ReplyDeleteHI Becky,
ReplyDeleteI can see I am really going to enjoy your blog!
I love the new companion in your life, he is adorable! I just love dogs, they bring so much joy into our lives.
Love to you....Carol
Ah -- the dog as exercise partner! Perfect! A walk with Gypsy is anything BUT aerobic!
ReplyDeleteMy verification word is "think." What a thoughtful word!
What wonderful photos, Becky. Vern looks like such a sweetie. I wish I could reach in the computer and give him a big hug!
