Muffin was surrendered to a pound.
Over 20 volunteers, in shifts,
drove Muffin from Texas up to Washington, DC.
Muffin was a little shy, but she came right up to me
and had personality plus.
bless her little heart.
We met at a McDonald's parking lot
in Mobile, Alabama.
She's a sweetheart. She really just wanted love.
I was the last leg of the transport.
Met in a diner parking lot.
It'd been a long ride.
Muffin slept for the whole car ride.
I handed Muffin off to her new foster mom, Heather.
She did really good on the car ride back here,
so I could tell that she was used to being in a car at this point.
For the past year we've been talking about
what our second dog is going to be like.
This is our first little doggie, Ginsburg.
He wanted a sister.
Are you excited to meet your sister, Muffin?
Will you share your draggie with her?
We should probably get her her own draggie.
Ginsburg, you ready to go meet Muffin?
Know where we're going? We're going to pick up your sister!
We're almost there.
You checking out Muffin's bag?
Pulling up to meet Muffin for the first time,
we're feeling nervous.
All right!
Hi, Muffin!
Hi.
Hi, little girl! - Oh.
This is Ginsburg.
She's a little bit shy, but she's definitely a big cuddler.
She is so little. Hi, Muffin.
Similar color. - Want to give him another sniff?
He's not so bad.
He can be annoying sometimes.
You wanna go on a walk so you can meet your brother?
She's a little nervous, but I understand.
It's new people.
She's been moving around a lot.
Oh, it's okay.
You've been through a lot.
I'm -- I'm happy that she's going to somebody who's really good, but...
look into those sad eyes.
Yeah, it's gonna be sad to see her go.
Bye, Heather.
They chose a good family to adopt Muffin.
Eventually, she just fell asleep, zonked out for the rest of the ride.
And then when she woke up, she kind of looked around,
and she's like, "Where's my new digs?"
We're home!
Oh! It's your new home!
Oh!
It's home!
Here's your bed from your foster home.
That's Ginsburg's bed.
She's taking over Ginsburg's bed.
The biggest thing was, we just hoped that she really
liked it here, and would be comfortable and happy.
Go explore!
But, you know, when we opened the door, she bolted in.
She seemed to make herself comfortable really quickly,
So I think she's gonna love it here.
We were really nervous about Ginsburg being protective
of his toys and his bed and his home,
and Muffin has come in and made herself right at home
in Ginsburg's bed, with Ginsburg's toys,
and he's been really good about it.
That definitely surprised me.
So she might be the one to take charge.
Come on. Come on, Muffin.
Walking around the streets of Baltimore,
she's just really curious.
You're gonna be a city dog now.
In the pet store, she hopped up on Lindsey
like, "Mom, can I get these snacks?"
And that's when you knew that she wants to be here.
It was a big change from who we had seen earlier that morning.
So that made me feel like she was gonna be happy here.
They're gonna sleep well tonight.
Muffin!
Do you love Baltimore, Muffin?
Oh, no. You love squirrels.
It's been a little over five months
since we officially adopted Muffin and brought her home.
She is currently the head of household here.
She commands everybody in the house. She's our little princess.
Muffin's best friend would be Ginsburg.
She's definitely the leader of the pack.
Aw. Did you steal that from Ginsburg?
She can get up onto our bed, which is a little raised up,
which Ginsburg can't do as well. So he gets jealous sometimes.
It was just really a work of a lot of people,
and we're really grateful to everybody
who participated in finding Muffin her forever home.
I definitely think if people have the opportunity to rescue,
they definitely should. And whatever dog they rescue
is gonna be absolutely thrilled.
