Today marks the end of her shelter days...
She is going to become a dog again...
A funny thing happened at the shelter. We did not know it was Sasha's brother in the pen with her. When the volunteer brought us Sasha, she told us that her brother wouldn't let Sasha out. The volunteer told us her brother, Ray, had been newtered and vaccinated and was ready for adoption.
We left the shelter and drove about eight miles out of town. My wife and I were throwing around the idea to get Ray. My wife called the shelter and told them we were on our way to get Ray. They shared their lives together in the beginning so why separate them. Each was their world to the other.
My wife renamed Ray, Drake. He looks like a little vampire with his pointy ears. I almost named him Spock. We decided to give the dog to JayMi. Since JayMi is into vampires, we figured Drake would be short for Dracula. We told her she could rename him, but the name stuck.
Sasha and Drake will begin their lives as wandering puppies taking in the sights and especially smells of their new home. They will be on hikes, on kayaks, on fishing trips.
It was a good thing we got both of them. Both were born on December 7, 2014. Pearl Harbor Day. Both were fixed on April 8, 2015. Sasha currently weighs 27.8 pounds and Drake weighs 28.8 pounds and growing. And both started their new lives on April 9, 2015. They are going to have fun with us.
The bowls were for Sasha. The blue bowl for water and the pink bowl for food. Each one has their own colored bowl: Blue for Drake, pink for Sasha.
Another chapter in our lives...

| Drake is more outgoing, Sasha is more affectionate. |
 |
| For a small puppy, he has a loud bark. |

| Both of them couldn't sit still long enough to get a good snapshot. |

We are going to have fun...
