I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in 1996 Biloxi founded a hockey team. I had never been to a hockey game but won tickets on a radio station and fell in love with the game. I made every game I could. One day the local SPCA held an adoption event with a number of dogs up for adoption. The pictures of the dogs being offered were shown on the scoreboard. I saw this little Australian cattle dog on the screen that was a dapple (black mixed with brown and gray) with blue eyes. I knew she was for me so I got up, went to the area where they were set up, and adopted her on the spot. My friends I was sitting with were amazed; she snuggled in my lap and went to sleep, ignoring the cheers, loud music and sounds of the hockey game. Her name was Macey and she is now 13 years old, 55 pounds, and loves treats and sleeping with her momma.
Never regretted the impulse to adopt the little puppy that my companion said was so ugly she was cute! She grew into a pretty dog.
