Mochi!

Sonia and I have wanted to adopt a dog for some time. In fact, when we were looking for new places to live one of my requirements was that the landlord be dog-friendly, and our new place meets that requirement. We figured that my holiday break from work and Sonia's break from school would be a perfect time, but we also thought that we should be thorough in our search. Well, this weekend we went to a pet rescue event at Lisa's Passion for Pets near Lake Merrit in Oakland. We told ourselves that we shouldn't be hasty and that this was just the beginning of the search. Of course, we didn't come home empty handed, no matter how hard we tried to fool ourselves. Meet Mochi:


Mochi was rescued by The California Underdog, a non-profit animal rescue group that takes dogs out of high-kill shelters. Mochi is half beagle, half Aussie shepherd (they seemed pretty sure), and 100% adorable. Here she is with Sonia:



Sonia is in the midst of finals, and Mochi does not make studying any easier. She doesn't make sleeping easy either. Good luck Sonia!
