Addie Mae, the Dog of the Day
Name: Addie Mae
Age: Seven months old
Gender: Female Breed: Lab mix
Home: Tacoma, Washington, USA
 
   Our (Lauren and Andrew) dog's name is Addie Mae. She is ten weeks old in this picture, and she is a black lab brindle mix.

    We found Addie while she was nine weeks old on the side of the road next to an abandoned house. She had a brother and sister that was with her, as well as her owner that was trying to sell her for a small price. We talked to the owner about the dogs and were trying to decide if we wanted to get one of the dogs. Lauren and I are both in college so money is very tight, and though we've talked about getting a dog, it would seem financially impossible. While looking at the dogs, we both looked at Addie and pointed at her. Right after we pointed at her, Addie cocked her head to the side and stuck her paw out to us, as if she wanted or knew that she was coming home with us. I immediatley looked at Lauren and we wanted her right away, so we got Addie.

    For the first week that we had Addie, she was a trooper traveling between different houses for the holidays as it was right before Christmas. She has touched everyone's life that she has met. We took Addie back to my house to show the skeptical parents, and as soon as my mom saw Addie's beautiful face, her heart melted along with her doubt. Next we took Addie back to Lauren's parents house, and ever since her mom saw her all she wants us to do is go run errands so she can be alone and play with Addie. She's playing with her right now! All of our friends love Addie and are more than happy to help us raise her. They have volunteered their time and money to help us with Addie. There could not be a better dog for us than Addie Mae.
