At the time, I was involved with another man. I had also lost another soul very dear to me earlier that year, and I was a little depressed. He tried to cheer me up, but something was missing. So, one afternoon, after having lunch w/his grandparents, he took me to the place where I met my love.
She was near the back of the room. She looked at me passively, uninterested, while all those around her begged for attention, a smile, a look in their direction. She already knew I was there just for her. Her big brown eyes met mine...it was love at first sight.
This is how I met Brie. I filled out all her paperwork, then I picked her up from the humane society a few days later. She had just gotten neutered, so she was a little shaky and disorientated. She barfed three times in my car on the way home. To this day, there is still barf residue on her paperwork (always a fun story for the vets). Also, she was very timid for the first couple of months she lived w/me.
Now, Princess Brie Brie is a force to be reckoned with and a celebrity of her own making. She is one of the funniest people I know, and she has never spoken a word. She makes my day a little brighter every time I see her big pointy ears.
If you have never adopted an animal, I highly recommend it. You'll be saving a life, and, who knows? You might just meet the love of your life.
