What's your fondest pet memory?
I have a lot of favorite pet memories from my family pets we've had. However, in honor of Maddy's recent introduction into our lives, I have to give her this question.
So far, the best memory has to be when we first saw her at the Milo Foundation. We had told them that we were coming to see her (since we had already applied online) and they were holding her in the back of the store. While Ben and I waited, we walked around and checked out the other dogs needing adoption. Some dogs in the Milo store: an adorable lab named Valentine that we were considering in case Maddy didn't work out; George, a crazy Husky / Alaskan Malamute that was incredibly large and howling; Rosa, a shy Shih Tzu / Spaniel mix whose picture does not do her justice;
While visiting with the other dogs, we saw one of the Milo people carrying out Maddy from the back. Immediately, Ben and I both started smiling and knew that she was perfect for us. We took her for a walk and bonded immediately. At that moment, we became a happy little family.

The Milo Foundation is great. That's where my mom got her two cats back in the fall of 2002. Very nice people, doing the Lord's work. I've tried to give them money every holiday season, though not this past year since I've only been working part-time and thus quite poor.
