Welcome Home, Mellow

The absolute best day ever – our little puppy arrived from Romania! The transporter of the organization stopped after a full day of driving on a parking place close to Munich. Waiting for it felt like forever but once they arrived, everything happened so quickly! They checked our IDs, gave us the papers and carried the little fluff ball into our car and left. It felt so surreal when we first saw him and were alone with him in the car. He was exhausted and shy but too anxious to fall asleep for the first couple hours. Eventually he took a nap and then started sniffing around very curiously. Ryan, by the way, refused to commit to a name until literally the day before – which nearly drove Jenny insane, because all her thoughts revolved around this puppy… without a name. With his creamy beige coat and little white spots on his belly, he kind of looks like a slightly toasted marshmallow. And since we were also trying to manifest a chill, easy-going dog we could take on all our adventures, we landed on the name Mellow. Over time, of course, he’s collected a few extra nicknames (for better or worse): Nugget Boy, Dumpster Dog, and Mel Mel, to name a few.
