Happy ending for Dexter

We adopted Dexter on October 9, 2010 and our lives have not been the same since and I mean that in a good way!! We love our little Dex and have been sharing pictures and updates with our friends and family on facebook ever since. He is a great little guy and has already become a very important addition to our family, we feel extremely blessed.
My husband and I walked into TLC on a sunny beautiful Saturday afternoon not really intending on bringing home a dog. We sat on the bench inside and Dex was sitting right in front of us. The lady asked if we wanted to take him outside so we said okay still not planning on getting a dog that day. While outside we realized how special Dex was. We brought him home and our 16 & 18 year old thought we found a stray then we explained that Dex was actually ours. They were shocked.
Dex has brought our family closer together in the short month that we have had him. Our teenagers spend much more time downstairs with us enjoying the new addition to our family and don’t mind helping out with him. Probably because they know they don’t have to because my husband and I love walking, feeding and training him. Dex is a year old and still has a lot of energy which we love!! He loves playing fetch with us and when he’s not playing he is sitting in our laps getting plenty of attention. Thanks TLC and thanks to the family who brought him in we are sorry you could not keep Dex but please know that we love little Dex very much!
PS – I am enclosing two photos of Dex. The long haired photo is what Dex looked like when we brought him home. We recently took him to the groomer for his first bath and haircut so the second photo shows him looking completely different with his short hair and cute bandana. I love him both ways!!
Gratefully yours,
Sue
