We made it official with this dingus today! He’s our snoot and we are his people. Welcome home for good, Blue Tillman. #pittie
Blue Tillman is a pretty hilarious name IMO
In future pics, he'll have the very pretty collar we got for him! It's purple! Right now though I'm trying to find Sterling's tags to get the little ring thingy because this tag we got him didn't come with something to attach it to the collar? So that's a challenge!
One sweet thing we learned about Blue while doing three meetings at the rescue is that he's got a whole fan club. I expect most rescue dogs get a bit of one, but he was with them for a while because he needed a special family. Fortunately he spent much of that with a foster but still very involved with them.
Everyone we met was like "I would die for Blue" and I mean -- hard same.
It turns out that, if you let him, Blue will help you unload your groceries! He was flying in and out of the trunk as M carried bags in.
Also a not-great pic of his adoption collar! We thought a pretty purple would be nice
We got him this pretty collar (pictured while M was out getting groceries--this was a reason to ask me for skritches!)
And a slightly darker purple harness. His leash is a beautiful jewel-teal. We were like "this dog deserves lovely colors."
when we have a warm enough day (hopefully not until March because -- that would be bad), I'll get a pic of his whole look. Right now though it all goes under the coat or a sweater on a warmer day
Someone is snuggling ME! And he smells of corn chips. I desperately want to go to bed but also this is magic.
Happy 3rd birthday, Mr. Blue! You've made the last 8 months wonderful and miserable. We're so glad that we can give you a safe and quiet place to live, terrier adventures, and plenty of snuggles. Here's hoping the next year is significantly better.
also in the last year -- baby shark hours, monitoring the backyard, and crashed out after playing with his throwing squirrel.
@platypus I love him
@neoncoughh he's a very good boy and a huge dork and a real sweetie and he's snuggled up with my husband again!
@platypus Blue Tillman sounds like a 1930s baseball pitcher.
@mikerush probably from Kansas City
@platypus He tells people Kansas City, but that's just where he hopped the train.
@platypus Am so happy for all of you.
@platypus yaaaay! so happy about this outcome
@platypus Congratulations to all three of you!
@platypus congrats!
@platypus Congratulations to you all!
@platypus Congratulations! So happy you and Blue found each other.
@platypus I missed this! Congratulations. He's a cutie and will clearly be spoiled. He won't fill the void the same way but in time it won't matter. Give some ear scritches from his pseudo aunt Kate.
@metageeky thank you! He’s a real sweetie even if he’s not Sterling.
@platypus Fiona is certainly not Francie but I love her all the same, even her paranoid rantings about springs at 4am.
