Our new "Queen"!

Yesterday, my son said he couldn't believe it had only been a week since we adopted Queenie! She seemed like a part of our family from the minute she walked in our door. Here she is happily resting (I swear she's smiling!) after an energetic romp in her newly-fenced back yard. Thank you so much to APRA for bringing Queenie into our lives. After we lost our beloved 14 yr-old Wheaton to cancer earlier this summer, I didn't think I had it in me to open my heart to another dog - frankly, I didn't think I could love another dog as much as I had loved Lucy. But then a funny thing happened...one night, missing the pitter-patter of little dog feet and a sweet fluffy face, I decided to just "look" and see what dogs were available for adoption. That first night, I saw a picture of Queenie on the APRA website and I was a goner - I knew right then that she was meant to be a part of our family. I hadn't mentioned anything to my son, but when he had the exact same reaction I did when he saw
Queenie's photos, I knew we had to meet her. We were so excited when we saw she was finally ready for adoption, that we waited all weekend and went to APRA right after school that first day (I'm not sure much learning was done that day!). It was love at first sight. Thank you so much for the beautiful photos & descriptions that captured her personality and needs so perfectly. Queenie has made our family complete again!
