New Addition To The Family

A friend of hubby introduced us to him. I must admit, my initial reaction was not a positive one. He was, of course, already 9 years old.

I observed him from afar at first but later moved in closer for a formal introduction. Our first meeting was brief, just to get to know each other. He was uncooperative at first but later warmed up.

I could tell hubby was all for him. “It’s meant to be”, he said. “He might not be what we wished for, but he completes us.”

Yeah, quote Jerry McGuire to get me on board. Nice try.

However, after a few more meets, I relented.

It’s going to be tough and it might not always be smooth sailing but at least he’ll be coming into a loving home.

We officially took him home last Friday.

And it’s been great ever since.
