On the way there we talked about how we definitely weren't going home with a puppy. We wanted to make sure that we thought out our decision and didn't rush into anything. As we arrived we were introduced to Fonzi and his two sisters. His sisters were smaller than he was, and they were actually a little more hyper. Fonzi was really cute! He would come over to us and sit down in our lap or bring a toy over to play. He was a little shy, but he had the sweetest eyes and he was incredibly cute. Ted and I went outside to talk about the decision in private. When we came back inside we asked Fonzi if he wanted to come home with us. He literally walked over to us, licked Ted's toes and sat on my feet. It was like he was saying "yes, please take me home!"
We knew that we loved this little guy. We knew that we were going to adopt him, it was just a matter of when. We had told ourselves over and over that we weren't going home with a puppy that night, but the more we talked about it, the more sense it made to just take him with us. We didn't want to have to drive another hour back down to Groton another day just to pick him up. And it was Friday, which meant that we had all day Saturday and Sunday to spend with him while he adjusted to our home. And why make him spend another week in a shelter when we could start bonding with him today!
So the decision was made, we were taking Fonzi home with us! We asked the woman if we could run out and get some supplies before we took him with us. She let us run to Pet Supplies Plus where we got all the essentials, a leash, a crate, food, bedding, toys, treats, etc! We hurried back and signed the adoption papers :) We got into the car and 'Fonzi' sat right on my lap and curled up. He kept walking between my lap and Ted's lap, it was so cute! We knew that the first order of business was to get him a new name!!
