Adopton Day 2011: Looking back

Our Unexpected Rescue Adventure: Jimmy and Cookie

Back in early 2011, we attended an outdoor festival in downtown Orlando with no intention of coming home with 2 new furry friends.  Maybe we would look, and maybe come home with 1 was the thought. 

As we strolled through the festival layout we stumbled upon a rescue group featuring two adorable pups who would soon become known to us as Jimmy and Cookie. They had the sweetest eyes, and before we knew it, we were filling out adoption papers!

Here’s what made it all happen:

• The Instant Connection: From the moment we met Jimmy and Cookie, it was clear they were meant for us.
• No Plan, Just Love: We had simply come to enjoy the fair, but their playful energy captured our hearts.
• Double the Fun: What started as a solo adoption quickly turned into bringing home two new family members!

It was a day full of surprises, and we couldn't have been more excited to start a new chapter of life with Jimmy and Cookie by our sides.  That was a long time ago, and with Jimmy now gone and Cookie in decline, I start to wonder how the process will unfold this upcoming time around.
