seriously considered contenders for dan and i's christmas gift to each other:


i know, right? the little one on the left looks exactly like rocco did as a pup!!! we saw this photo in the oregonian last week and our hearts skipped a collective beat! their story also pulled at our heartstrings:

"An overwhelmed breeder in Tillamook turned over nearly 100 rat terriers, including these 7-week-olds, to the Oregon Humane Society this week. They were among two large-scale rescue operations that have taxed the organization at a time of the year when it traditionally receives a lot of dogs. About 50 rat terriers go up for adoption today, Dec. 11, and more dogs will be available next week." The Oregonian Dec 11 2009. Photo by Motoya Nakamura/The Oregonian.

100 RAT TERRIERS! can you believe it?

if only the timing was right! as much as we both want to pick one of these guys up, (and there was a genuine conversation about it) we have to admit that we just can't. no matter how much we want another little terrier to grow up with rocco, we can't manage the price tag. :(

it's okay. we don't have to worry about pee all over the floor and a little wiggly body chewing up everything!

~~~~~ xoxo ~~~~~~~ please think of these little guys (and their humane society friends everywhere) this season and hope they find loving homes!!!~~~~~~~xoxo~~~~~
