One day Stephen decided that it would be a good idea to take Candy (Candy the Dog) to the beach. It was her first time and she…… we all had a blast! It was a nice warm beautiful San Diego afternoon. We would throw rocks (they would get stuck in the sand) and she would chase after them and try and pick them up. She was not very successful but, you could tell she as having tons of fun. She didn’t like the water at first but then she got use to it.
Guess What?! The Tompkins added a new member to the family. She is two years old and is the sweetest thing ever. Her name is Candy, she is a German Shepherd mix and we rescued her from the Coastal German Shepherd Rescue on June 16, 2009 http://www.coastalgsr.org/.
On June 13th we were not intending to get a dog, we just wanted to see what was out there. We went to the local Pet Smart on adaption day and saw a very slick looking lap dog. This dogs name was Wyatt he was all black and acted like a very big dog even though he was very small. The only problem was that the dog wasn’t really up for adoption, the volunteer did not want to part with it. So we walked inside and saw several German Shepherd in crates they all seemed to big for our home. But, as we walked around a volunteer recommend that we meet Candy. Everyone was saying Candy will be perfect she is so loving and so sweet, Candy is the dog for you. We heard all this before we even go to meet her and then we saw her, Candy the dog.
She was perfect for us!!! That same day we took her home with us. It has been wonderful having a dog in the family.
We Love our Candy!!
