They say a dog is a mans best friend but in this case its shared with the love of a man and a woman. Carrie and I were in the honeymoon stage of our two month marriage just moving into a cute creamy green 2 bedroom house on Park Ave. in the town of East Nassau. Growing up Carrie and I both grew up with animals and absolutely adored them, and now we thought we wanted one of our own. A little step forward into developing our family down the road.

Our little Honda accord stretched into the beaten up driveway of a woman by the name of Sally Reel who posted an ad for German Shepard dogs on her 13 acre farm house. Carrie and I fell in love with the "Black and Tan" fur ball in the picture that came with the story behind her. As we arrive in the house the feeling of pure joy fills my heart as I see all the dogs running ramped through her yard. We see Sally whistle the dogs in as she sees us jump out of the car and head over to her front wrap around porch.

Looking at all the dogs one is particular caught our eye specifically. Sally mentioned to us " She is housebroken and obedience trained. She gets along with other dogs, but not with cats. She is shy and takes time to warm up to strangers. She should go to an owner who will do some type of training with her". Taking the mental note of the description we just absorbed we made a mental check list of all the things that came with her and she seemed like a perfect fit into our little world. Carrie and I sat down with Sally and went over all her needs and care taking that came with the girl and we agree with a smile that were taking her home that day.

We pile her into the car with her tongue hanging out in the August evening breeze. I remember it being such a beautiful night to have for us and all the memories that came with that single car ride. I turn to station 103.5 as their playing a commercial for a new episode of the new hit show "Friends" it tells all about how Febe and Rachel and Ross get in a dispute and it clicked. Febe! It fit perfectly with her outgoing little personality she had with her.

Till this day me and Carrie take Febe on those long car rides down on the back roads with our sin roof open and let her stick her furry little head out the top with her tongue hanging in the wind. It cracks us up to see how much shse grew into our lives and how perfectly she fits right into our lives. I'll never forget that warm August evening along with the happiness that perfect pup brought us.
