The Story of Yucky

This is my sweet new puppy Yucky!
The Story of Yucky is short and sweet. On my early morning jog on a Monday morning I spotted this raggedy little dog running around the street. I left him there thinking he belonged to a neighbor or someone a few streets away. Tuesday morning rolled around and I rolled out of bed for another freezing run. I saw the same dog around the same place. It was sooo cold I just couldn't handle seeing him run around out there anymore. So I picked him up and actually went around to a few surrounding houses and knocked on the doors and asked if he belonged to any of them. No one claimed him so I took him back home with me. Rob was getting ready for the day when I walked in. When he looked up and saw what I was holding his face was priceless. "What is that???" 
"Well... it's a Yucky dog..." And that's where he got his name from. We put up signs around grocery stores and the gas station next to our house. I asked surrounding neighbors if he belonged to them but now one has claimed him. 

He's a sweet sweet dog, and cute to boot. He learns quick and has trained well. He hardly ever barks unless we're playing with him. We love him and I just can't believe how lucky I got finding this one. We have our own little happy family! ;)
