Puppy Love

Yes, it was love at first sight...

only we were in denial...

we tried to be strong...

to strengthen our resolve...

to look away from the come hither glances...

I mean we are old hats at this foster gig...

we know the deal...

they come - we love on them - and then they go...

right???

Yes, yes, yes...

I am well aware of the ones who have, um, not gone...

the ones we affectionately call...

foster failures...

but we were past all of that...

we had our three...

the last one being - ahem...

a definite foster failure.

So, we were done.

We would just foster puppies from now on!

Safe right?

Easy in, easy out...

done...

I mean they are cute and all but after a few weeks of cleaning up potty accidents and chewed up magazines and toilet paper and toys and pencils and paper and furniture and carpets and and and...

we would be ready for them to move on to their furever families.

Right??

only not so much...

not this time...

one look at that face...

those faces....

and we were done alright!

Her name is Beth... not exactly a doggie name but a name that was meant for her...

after being told that she was named after the police woman who rescued her, we were still unsure as the naming war process had already begun with Dixie and Daisy neck in neck... but after speaking to this police woman and hearing her heart...

I knew there could be no other name!

Very special thank you to Michelle and Gimme Shelter Animal Rescue and all of the wonderful work that they do!

Welcome to the family little Beth!

Never saw that coming, did ya!
