fifty

On Saturday, December 5th, 2009, while living in Le Petit Village, Gregory and I headed out in search of a Christmas tree. Somehow along the way, we found ourselves at the animal rescue center instead.

The rescue center was full of dogs and only one puppy. I wanted an older dog, one who had already been trained and didn't have much hope of adoption, but the woman that worked there was adamant we take the puppy. I took one look at him and knew he was ours.

He was a three month old half Staffordshire, half Belgian Shepherd (we think... there could be a bit of Lab in there too) that Gregory Christened, Fifty. Fifty and his siblings had been abandoned in a box inside a dumpster. Luckily, someone found them and brought them to the rescue center.

That first night, we gave him a bath and he slept for eight hours straight. He hasn't slept through a night since. He is at times the bane of my existence but always my furry little angel and after enduring the extra-long journey from Le Petit Village to Texas, he is now enjoying his new life in America.
