I think the morning crated Meggie and Sapphire's thought process went something like this.
"OMD SHE IS UP, I CAN HEAR HER, SHE IS COMING, OMD IT'S HER IT'S HER IT'S REALLY HER. HERE SHE COMES!!!! HERE SHE COMES!!! LET US OUT...FEED US..FOOD FOOD FOOD, GOTTA PEE GOTTA PEE GOTTA PEE. HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!!!!
Of course the dogs had to be calm before they could be let out, but neither had a crate insert due to various reasons, and anytime I got up it was loud and thumpy.
Can't lie, I do kind of get off on the worship, just wished I could have turned it off now and again, like for instance when I had to pee in the middle of the night. There were times I wished I had a remote control and could have just hit a button and turned them off for a bit. Anyone who has ever lived with adolencent dogs knows that they are the most difficult, and I know for certain that having two multiplied their youngness by a factor of at least 20 sometimes. A snooze button feature on foster dogs would nice.
Both dogs are in wonderful homes, and it was all worth it. We miss them. Really.
Meggie left on Tuesday. Lucky Meggie, now Lucy (the missing link), will be living at the base of. Sugarloaf with two Border Collies and Two Brittany Spaniels. She has 2000 acres to hike every day. I woke up on Wednesday overcome with sadness and posted this picture on Facebook. In less than one minute two friends chimed up that they knew her new family and how great they were and one of my friends is his sister!
What a relief! What a wonderful small world it is!
Sapphire left yesterday (again) to live in New Hampshire with a very nice guy.
He and his girlfriend drove up to meet her last weekend and let's just say it was a total "click".
Finney saw the vet for a lump on his leg. He was very brave for an aspiration, which appears to be nothing to worry about, but will be removed and sent off to Idexx. While there we discussed Charlee's tumor toe and it was deemed NOT CANCER. My vet said she would have been dead by now.
All is calm, all is bright!

That photo of Sapphire needs to be submitted for an award. It's awesome. Really is an advert for adoption.
Thanks Kathy F. It was taken on my Blackberry! Awesome placement.
Oh Nancy! I couldn't have wished for better news for you and the dogs! Reading your post brought tears to my eyes because I know what a stress it has been worrying about Charlee and Finney and the fosters and everything else.
I can so relate to the wanting to shut off the excitement sometimes and liking the adoration. It's like sugar and spice added to your life. Sapphire and Meggie were so lucky to have you as a foster mom. I think Meggie couldn't have gone to a better home, do you?
Thanks for the uplift to my day!
It's amazing and wonderful how the sun sometimes fades a little.... but then it comes out and shines brighter and more brilliant than you ever imagined!
I'm so happy about this!
That is so wonderful about Finn and Charlee! Whew :-)
I don't know why Jellybean and Tintin think anything at all is going to happen when I get up to pee at 3 am! Nothing has happened so far, but they apparently live in eternal hope that I will suddenly decide to do something wonderful at 3 freakin am! Jellybean is 3 and had stopped until 18 month old Tintin joined the house :-(
Barrie I had a dog Rollow who I swear slept with one eye open. If I even rolled over in my sleep he would bring me a tennis ball.
Mel-thanks, your comments were quite touching.
Happy Solstice Mary!
