Yesterday afternoon we went to the animal shelter and we adopted Manchitas. He is a very nice puppy, but his previous owners abandoned him because of lack of time. How irresponsible! We spent all day playing with him and pampering him. After adopting Manchitas, we vaccinated him and we bought him a bed. He is going to be very happy with us!
