Yes, No, Today, Tomorrow, Next Week

Tuesday we agreed to take in new foster dog.  Saturday was the day set to meet part way and pick her up.  Wednesday it was decided she might not come because of a pending home visit. Thursday it was decided she was coming, but on Friday. Friday before she even arrived it was decided the adoption was a go, but she was en route already.  So the plan was to send her back Saturday afternoon.  After she arrived it was decided she wouldn't leave the next day and would stay with us for a week before going to her new family.  To say the least our heads were spinning a little with all the updates.  


Luckily, from being a single mother for a number of years (thanks kids for keeping me guessing all the time), I'm used to a sudden change of plans, or two.  Rescue is sometime like that too, so I feel right at home.


Bailey is the first foster dog to arrive with ketchup on her leg.  It's still there, I think she's saving it for later, much later.  I can't decide if she likes ketchup or doesn't.  I may never know.  Obviously she enjoyed some fast food on her transport to us.


She is by far the easiest foster we've had to integrate into the home.  Her new family is getting a gem of a pup.  In the meantime, Layla has a playmate.  Their new names should be Rough & Tumble, or Frick and Frack.  They get on like gangbusters.  We just try to stay out of the way of the dust cloud.  At the end of the day we have two tired pups.  And life is good.
