Today we say goodbye to Shelby Marie Grunwell, a.k.a. the Greatest Dog to Ever Live.
She came to our family by way of Canine Collective, a wonderful organization out of Plain City, OH that rescues dogs from high-kill shelters and puts them with loving homes. While we had originally visited the group’s weekly event at a local Petsmart in order to start the process for a chocolate lab named Cocoa, Shelby picked me out, stood on her hind legs, and perched on my arm as if to say “hey there, Steve, I’m the one you want!”
That was just shy of fourteen years ago.
