My sister never gave up hope on the prospect of a new dog. She did searches online for her "perfect dog". Our mother eventually got involved in it and was addicted with the search. Finally, my sister found the perfect mix for her, a Shi-cockapoo (aka a Shitzu, Cockerspaniel, and Poodle) mix. My sister seemed to have found the perfect dog also for sale of KSL(great place to look for stuff to buy and such). However, when the 10 year old, who owns that dog, found out- she was a nutcase and fought to keep the dog. Eventually the 10 year old won, and my sister was dogless.
One day, after a day of garage selling and a sudden down pour of rain/hail, my mother went to see if there was any sales of the kind of things that we were selling at our sale. And while she was checking on KSL, she looked at the dogs. And found the perfect mix, female, with all of her dog items completely for free! My mother called lickety-split and was the first caller for the dog. The dog was scheduled to meet our family the next day when my sister would be home. However, the owners called last minute and wanted to bring her over the day of the call. Even though my sister wasn't home and had no idea about our mother calling about the dog, we consented to see her. They brought her over, and she was perfect. Sweet, loveable, smart, and all things fizzy.
That evening, the family (with my sister) went out to dinner and acted like nothing was different in our lives at all. On our arrival home, my older sister and I held the younger one back. Finally, we took her inside. Sister walked in, the same time the dog turned the corner. You should have heard her scream!!!!!!!!!!! And the dog barked like crazy!!!!!!!!!!! From that point on, they were inseperable and our family had a new member named Izzy.
