Pete had been wanting to get a dog, and in the spring of 2000, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Also, at exactly that time, I heard about a litter of about a dozen lab puppies that were just about ready to be sold.
It was the last few days of the school year, so there weren't any students in the school. The teacher who was in the classroom across the hall from me brought her new yellow lab puppy to school with her. I was in love.
Pete and I went to look at the pups and Pete picked his favorite. We bought the pup and immediately bought a crate for the pup. She has come to be known at Nelliethegooddog.
Lena came to us in a different way. Sky was dating Miriam whose family bought a pug for the younger kids. I think we knew we would end up with the dog, and about a year and a half later, after a few families kept her for a week or two and brought her back, we said that we would take her. She has come to be known at Lenathebaddog.
