Not going to hijack your comments section with a long explanation but want to tell you that, in light of what's been happening dog-wise in my life lately, I'm SO SO SO SO SO SO happy that you're getting this gem of a pooch. Can't wait for the photos.
Congratulations Maddy! Persistence pays off.

So, So Happy for Maddie!!! My sister was dog crazy too when we were kids. Our parents never did give in, so when she moved out, the first thing she bought was a dog. Nevermind that she didn't have 2 cents to rub together, she HAD to have her dog!

Of course you passed! Yeah for the new member of your family and your whole family in general! I love our animals. You (Maddie) will love yours too.

SO AWESOME!!!!
Having grown up with dogs, this is going to be so awesome for the kids. Just remember to be patient, and I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up being your new best friend as opposed to Maddy's. :)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
You are the best mom ever. And Logan ain't so bad either.
Also, please get Maddy to write you a note telling you how wonderful you are. You'll want to laminate it and re-read it in the years to come, if what I recall of my teenagehood is even vaguely correct.

Aw that's so great. Was following the ordeal on twitter and rooting for you.
If you want another, let me know. We've got a bulldog who likes to pee in the house. Special price! Just for you!

So happy for you. We just got a puppy that looks like it could be your puppy's sister. Can't wait to hear all the Gary/puppy stories and how the fam loves on your new pup. Congrats!

Congrats! When I was a kid I always wanted a dog & my parents said no - Madison & Max are lucky.

Awessssssome! And thanks for rescuing a dog! No doubt he/she will be much loved and the subject of many wonderful blog posts!

Maddie must be over the moon. Congratulations! (How is your computer?)

Congratulations! A new addition to your family. Your life will never be the same (but probably not in a bad way, you know what I mean). Here's my one suggestion: get a poop scooper with a long handle/hinge kinda thing, and a trash can with a flip top lid. Scoop the mess right after she goes and put it in the lined trash can. THen, just empty that trash can on trash day. Easy peasy.

Woooooot! Congratulations Summers family!

You are totally right about saying it's like having a baby....more than you'll know today! Congrats to all of you and enjoy the new sloopy kisses!!!

I'm so happy for you all. I couldn't get a dog until I was 20-something -- my parents waited to get one until the kids moved out. (I'm still considering revenge litigation in Parents' Court.) FINALLY getting my pup was one of the happiest days of my life.
Posted by: EJ | 2010.02.11 at 03:35 PM
I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, but it would be easy to love a dog like that. Congratulations to your whole family, but especially to Maddie! She must feel like this is the best day of her life
Posted by: marymuses | 2010.02.11 at 04:56 PM
Hooray! It was a great day when we passed the doggie inspection in order to get ours :) Congratulations! I'm happy for your family, but especially for Madison :)
Posted by: Nicole | 2010.02.11 at 05:06 PM
Congratulations on the new addition to your family!
Posted by: Cori | 2010.02.11 at 07:21 PM
Eeeeeee!!! I am so excited for you guys!

longtime reader delurking to tell you how delighted I am for you Maddie! oh and the rest of the family, too : ) Wishing you much happiness with your new family member and looking forward to reading all about it.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you all, and Madison is really at the perfect age to become a dog owner. Did you finally decide on a name? Did I see Eleanor as an option? If so, that is just the sweetest name ever. Have fun!
Posted by: Dawn | 2010.02.12 at 03:13 PM
So excited Maddie wore you down! Thanks for supporting rescue! Can't wait to read about the dog's antics! What will Fat Cat think?
Posted by: CCarole | 2010.02.13 at 06:30 PM
Congratulations! The dog is as cute as can be, and I bet you'll soon wonder what you ever did without your little buddy.
And Maddie is probably still reeling with joy. I know the kid has been campaigning for a dog for AGES!
Posted by: Meetzorp | 2010.02.14 at 08:09 AM
I have prayed for y'all to get a dog! I mean it!
