We have our first foster dog! Her name is Sadie and she's a pointer mix. Lucky Dog says she's 1 year and 48 pounds. I think she's younger and may be a little bigger. A and I went to get her tonight. The waiting was excruciating! We just wanted to get her. Once she was in the car, she snuggled up with A. We took her to pee nearby, then drove her home. Once we got her we had to introduce her to Lucky. That went fine – they seem almost completely uninterested in each other. Then food and water – she gobbled up the food and had three bowls of water – and then a bath in N's bathtub and then calming down for bed.
Today after I dropped Lucky off for a bath/nail trim at Petmart, I bought: 1) a dog bed 2) a backup leash; 3) dog food; 4) nature's miracle cleaner, 5) 2 kinda everlasting treats; 6) two toys ($1 each bc Halloween; 7) dog shampoo; 8) bowls (too small for this growing girl!. I did the same in high shool.
A is head over heels – it's so cute. N likes her too. Dad thinks she's "pretty cute" but hasn't touched her yet, and M shouts whenever Sadie is nearby and thinks Sadie smells (she does smell of wet dog now).
