Melting my heart one puppy at a time

Garrett: So just when you thought Utah Valley couldn't get any cooler, RENT-A-PUPPY decided to pop up in town. When I first heard of the idea of renting a puppy, my clinical mind (I work at a treatment center) immediately thought dang, these pups are going to have some hard core attachment and adjustment issues. I was a little concerned that between the Michael Vick's of the world and the all male apartment complexes in town we were going to have some headline news and scandals in Provo. And then I held one of the puppies...

Michelle: I too was worried about attachment issues with the puppies, but apparently it really helps them adapt to a variety of people, and the adoptions rates are very high. I think the animal shelter might have better luck finding homes for animals if they employed similar tactics. 

Our little puppy was named Jerry (had we adopted him, I would have changed it), and was twin to ben. I think they are dachsund something mixes, so they are small and fluffy and precious. Jerry began sniff-fest 2014 when we first brought him in, and was able to fit himself between the overhang of the cabinets and the floor. 

After some sniffing, a little bit of human food (chicken...), and a bowl of water, Jerry crawled into manfriend's lap and began to snooze. Hands down the best way he could have promoted a second puppy rental from us. *happy sigh.
