The original running partner was Kona. When we arrived at the pound 2 years ago she was leaping 3 feet off the ground and barking non stop. She is a great running buddy. Anytime I put on running shorts or shoes she starts quivering with excitement. It's hard not to be happy when you're running when she looks so happy.
Kona needed a buddy though for those long days when I'm at work and Conrad is back in Africa. About a month ago when we heard that our price was accepted on the house, we went to the pound just to look. We nearly came home with 2 dogs. The Nevada Humane Society had a requirement that we do a dog meet dog at the pound before they would let us a take a dog home. Kona came back into the pound the same way she left 2 years prior. The dog meet dog took place in a 10x10 room with 2 dog handlers, 2 dogs, and 2 of us. It didn't go the way the pound workers liked and after 20 seconds and one raised lip they said the dogs would never get along and left.
Bliksem's pound foto. She looked so sad, and I couldn't leave her there.
We left the pound that day not knowing what to do. A plan was hatched, and we obtained Bliksem from the pound by other means. Thanks Graham for the alibi.
