Today we went with J and his family for a day trip out to
Marshall, Virginia to meet the dog named Roy Roy that we saw online
yesterday.

We met Roy Roy and although he was a very cute dog, he
was a bit too much for J’s wife. He was very strong and she had a hard time walking
him. Sabrina, the lady who runs the rescue, said she has her other dogs at the
rescue center in West Virginia & it was a 2 hour drive. We had no other
plans for the day so we agreed to follow her to see the other dogs. We finally
arrived after what felt like we were driving up endless hills. The rescue is
located in the mountainous area of Capon Bridge, WV. As soon as you turned to
go up the road that the rescue sits on, you can hear the sounds of barking from
a ½ mile away.
This is also accompanied
by the strong odor of dog in the air.

She showed J and his wife Boing Boing, he was a retriever/pit
bull mix who was just over a year old. While they were looking at him, hubby
and I went to see the other dogs she had. She brought out a few, Scarlet a 2
year old black/white pit bull, Nala a brindle pit bull who was a little over a
year old & Emma a 4 year old tan pit bull. Hubby and I spent time w/ Nala
who seemed nice & a little hyper, most likely due to her young age. Then we looked at
Emma who was a lot calmer, she was excited but not nearly as “hyper” as Nala. I
told hubby we should adopt Emma, he of course said no. He wanted to be “dog
free” for a few months. Plus there was not enough room in the van to take 2
dogs back. They adopted Boing Boing & we headed back home.

A few days later he was renamed Waffles by their 8 year
old. He said he named him Waffles because it’s one of his favorite things to
eat for breakfast and it matches the color of his fur.
