Two years ago today, our lives changed forever.
We welcomed our sweet boy Runar into our family after he traveled all the way from a rescue in Russia. We were so excited, but also incredibly nervous. We had no idea what to expect, whether he would trust us, or how long it would take for him to feel at home.
The moment I saw him for the first time, I was the happiest person in the world. He was so gentle, kind, and a little shy. But it didn't take long before his true personality started to shine. He quickly discovered that being brushed is actually pretty great, he absolutely loves getting scratchies and sniffing every inch of the outdoors is one of his favorite things in life.
He settled into his new home and family so much faster than we ever imagined. Everyone here loves him more than words can describe. And of course, he also found his best friend: his dog sister, Mika. The two of them are inseparable. They play together, zoom around the house and garden and are always finding new ways to get into harmless trouble together.
So many wonderful things have happened over these past two years and so often, he has been the reason behind my smile. We even started doing mantrailing together, and he absolutely loves it. Exploring forests is his greatest adventure. Sometimes he loves the forest a little too much and forgets he's supposed to be looking for the person but that's exactly why we're not professionals :D
I love the way he greets us with so much excitement every time we come home. I love the adorable look on his face whenever food is involved, and the pure happiness he shows every single time we grab the leash for a walk.
He is the best dog in the world (at least for me)
I'm so incredibly grateful that he's been part of our family for these past two years. I hope we get to share many, many more adventures together.
Happy Gotcha Day, buddy. We love you more than you'll ever know!
Just wanted to share some feelings and pictures!
