Adopting Piccolina

For Father's day we all decided to give my dad an extra special gift... a new dog! Our family dog, Lucky Lady, passed away a few years ago and since then we had not been able to fill her "shoes". 

I did some research and with Mom's blessing, we planned to take Dad to the Atlanta Humane Society. We didn't tell him where we were going and we blind-folded him till I gave him a small wrapped box with a collar inside...


It was fun to walk around and check out all the sweet dogs that were available for adoption. 




Mom and Dad chose a quiet, terrier mix, 1 year old female dog. We all helped pick a name for the adorable new addition to the family; an Italian word meaning tiny, is what we chose: Piccolina (Pee-ko-lina) - Picca for short.




She warmed up to our family very quickly and we look forward to spending time with her this weekend when we celebrate Father's Day.
