I think my favorite thing this year was rescuing this doggie from the kill shelter in our town and fostering him until he found a new home. That picture was taken just minutes after we pulled him out of the shelter and he jumped in our car. He is a 12-year-old American Eskimo who was found wandering the streets in a very busy part of my city - someone took him to the shelter and they found out he was microchipped, called his owners, and they said that they knew he was missing, they didn't care, and they didn't want him back. I will never, ever understand how someone could do something so cruel. He was basically slated to die when I randomly came across him on the animal shelter webpage while I was helping a friend find a cat. Told my boyfriend's mom, who happens to be affiliated with American Eskimo rescues in the area, and she tried to get one of them to pull him but nope, no one wanted to because he was 12 and no one would want him. So me and the boyfriend decided to get him and foster him ourselves! He had almost no time left when we went and got him. We had an awesome woman help fund his vet care (including a full dental which involved taking out almost all his teeth) and he was adopted TWO WEEKS LATER (because y'know, he was totally unadoptable) by an equally awesome lady. He is now the happiest pup in the world! So that would probably be my highlight of the year! Although if I had a picture of myself ripping off my work uniform on my last day of my old job, I would totally post that. Like for real.

I would love either Essie Hor D'ouveres off my Amazon wishlist oooorrrr... I'm going to adjust my Etsy registry, brb. ^{_^}
