We first met Nero at the Vet's place which is a part of a dog rescue society - Care n Cure. The family giving the pup is a family of dog lovers and heavily involved in helping the society. Meeting with them was also to reassure them that we would take good care of the pup and he would get a good home with us. There was a proper adoption process through which we were to get Nero.
Nero arrived in his placid glory, with his hyperactive sibling in tow. It was an emotional parting from the family. Nero remained placid throughout. The only time he showed any emotion was a warning tumbling off of his brother when the latter insisted on climbing all over him, continuously. He never whined otherwise. The only other matter of consequence was being held down to be given his first deworming medicine. A few token struggles and he was done...nice and easy :). As soon as he got into the car, and the AC turned on, he promptly fell asleep like an angel. While all the humans around him filled forms, signed papers, bought dishes and food and said their goodbyes, he roamed with a tolerant, slight benevolent air, unruffled by all the frentic activity around him.

On our way home, we stopped by my mother's house to introduce her to Nero. My mother was against us taking a dog since they are high maintenance pets. At the end of our hour long visit, Nero was carried to his royal carriage by the matriarch along with lots of photo ops. The little prince was making conquests without even trying!
Once home, he ate the baby food mix recommended by the vet, sniffed around a bit to find the coolest spot in the house, accepted his royal box and settled in for the night.
