My Story:

Well, my story isn't important. I'll tell you about Keegan

We adopted Keegan on 17 March, 2008. He was a 23lb puppy (age less than 3 months) He's currently a 45lb puppy of 6 months old. He was a shelter puppy - and honestly - he was sort of an impulse adopt. I didnt' mean to, but thankfully we had been thinking about getting a puppy for a couple of weeks at least.

We had just gone to the adoption place to talk to them, see what their policies were, and what type of puppies they had. Well...low and behold, they put a shy little (well, not so..little, exactly) into my arms, and I just never really let him go.

And thus, Keegan, my terribly shy and frightened of strangers puppy was adopted. He's absoultely a normal puppy when there are no strangers, but well...he's a skittish lil boy.

Oh - and new development. He loves fireworks...wants to chase them...*really* wants to chase them...
