font-family:Arial">Tomorrow, November 13, will be Gabe’s one year gotcha
day! My husband and I had been approved for his adoption by Ohio Puppy
Rescue – a foster family had Gabe and two of his brothers that they had
rescued from a puppy mill. They were so tiny, and Gabe is small to this
day. At full grown he weighs about 38 pounds. He is dwarfed by our
girls, but holds his own nicely because he’s got some attitude.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">He rode all the way home snuggled up in my lap, just gazing
into my eyes the whole way. It was actually kind of weird, but he has
been my heart ever since. Gabe is always happy, always wagging his tail
(and body) and giving kisses, even when his legs hurt from the pano. He
finishes every day cuddled up next to me in my chair and greets me every
morning like he hasn’t seen me in days. I would never trade any of
them, but as I have seen other people express on the drool, Gabe is THE ONE –
my heart dog. So, happy gotcha day little man. I’m so glad
you found me! </span></font></p>
