I wasn't supposed to even look at Lena... she's an Italian Greyhound mix, 30 pounds of which most of it is her freakin' huge eyes. The foster mom called her, 'an unremarkable little brown dog.' I was a Rottie mama - I had 3 big Rotties, had only ever owned Rotties, had only ever wanted Rotties. But, here I was, walking past the adoption stall in the flea market, being sucked in by those brown eyes. And the next day, she was ours. And the day after that, I tried to find her another home because she was seriously freaked out by all the Rotties! And the day after I tried to give her away, I broke out in hives and had to get my dog back. And, she's been ours ever since.
