Spade's Birthday!

This time last year Floyd and I and his family where headed down state to pick up of new doggies! What a net little thing we did! Once we got the the SPCA (i think) and got out of our car we went over to the fenced in yard where they where playing with our soon to be doggie! Floyd went right up to spade and started to play with him and pet him! I stood back a little and waited for him to come to me! Once he did things we good! We took care of all the paper work and put Spade in the car for his ride home! Once we got to his temporary home at that time Floyd and I were expecting to keep him at Floyd's parents house until we move out of our parents house in Feb. but when we did not move out until April we didn't know how much work it was going to take at first! Once April came around, Floyd and I moved out of our parents houses and moved into our own little apartment! After we got everything moved in we went back over to get Spade from Floyd's Parents house so Spade can come join us at our new home! Floyd and I were very excited to have Spade join us at our new and little home!Unfortunately, after a week of having him, Floyd and I talked about how it was not working out having Spade living with us at this point in time! For one our apartment was WAY to small for a Lab to live in! Plus, There was no fenced in yard for him to run around in and get all his energy out after staying in the one bedroom apartment! So, Floyd and I talked about taking him back to his parents house for now until we are able to get a bigger house and a fenced in yard for him to run around in! We went over to his parents house and talked to them about our problem we were having with Spade! We let them know it was not forever and that we would take him back once Floyd and I got into a bigger house next year! They talked it over and came back to us and told us it would not be a problem at all! So, The next day we took Spade back to Floyd's parents house and this was not easy for Floyd for the most part! I was sad to see Spade go too but it was the best for him and us at this point and time! Now it has been a year since we have gotten Spade from the SPCA (i think) and Floyd is spending the day with him and after work today we are going to the pet store and buy him and his brother Boomer little Birthday gifts! All in all when Floyd and I get a house sometime next year we hope, Spade can re-join our family once again! Happy 2nd Birthday Spade, and also His brother Boomer!
