Happy 10th Gotcha' Day to Zack!
Zack's Petfinder page listed him as URGENT, meaning he had less than 24 hours before euthanasia.
Hubby and I took off work early and drove 3 hours, barely making it to the shelter before they closed.
This is the first picture I took of Zack, the day after we brought him home.
I'm sure he was wondering,
"What have I gotten himself into?"
Ten years later, he's a happy, handsome, antler-free boy!
As if that were not enough reason to celebrate...
seventeen years ago today,
Hubby and I eloped to St. George Island, FL.
Of course, the kids went along on the honeymoon.

What a sweet post! Happy Anniversary Kit! and what a sweet Gotcha story about Zack, I did not know he was so close to being euthanized! What a lucky boy!!!! So many wonderful animals available in shelters I wish more people would adopt!
ReplyDeleteHappy early Thanksgiving too. I am not talking about it on my blog but on 11/28 I will be headed to NJ to help surprise my mom for her 80th birthday. The surprise party will be 12/4 and plans are well under way. But don't mention it over on my blog or she will get wind of it! I will be in NJ till 12/10 and only blogging occasionally if at all till I get back to AK. xoxo
What a Happy Double Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you saved handsome Zack! (Love the antler pose! :)
Plus David whisked you off for a romantic wedding in Florida!!
Have fun and celebrate!
Happee Gotcha Day sweetie

I guess the antlers were a sign that his life had hit its absolute bottom. From there on it could only get better. Happy anniversary Zack, and to those others as well.
