So Joey's gotcha day is today, August 3rd.
You might be curious as to what a gotcha day is. Let's see what our Wikipedia says about it, then:
"Gotcha Day is a term for the anniversary of the day on which a person or a pet joins a family by adoption."
Thus, he has been a resident of our home for four years. He was just a small pup aged only two months when we got him.
He is our lovechild, our perfect little boy and a big step in our lives. He is our first dog.
My wife went to the breeder few weeks before we got him. Joey chose her and she had chosen him.
However, I first met Joey in the middle of a parking lot in Ljubljana, next to Supernova Rudnik. The breeder kindly agreed to meet us halfway between her home and our home.
It was love at first sight, but Joey was also a big responsibility. We were aware that this magnificent being would permanently alter our life, but those changes would be for the better.
He climbed onto my lap and dozed off when I encountered him first. Joey was the tiniest pup I could imagine. I was unable to move because I was holding a precious and gorgeous being, and I didn't want to bother him in any way.
Since that day, I have another reason to come home... and yes Joey, the reason is you!
