Hail and Farewell

This afternoon Jim and I met Joyce from doxie rescue who was transporting our little Sidney to Greensboro, NC. His new foster mom would meet her there and drive back home to Durham, NC. We said our goodbyes to little Sidney and transferred the little pup to her car. Then we left and headed to the other side of Charlotte to pick up our next foster, wiping away tears as we drove. I was OK until I heard Jim sniffling!

We finally found the place, loaded up the pup and set off for home. He slept most of the way, thank goodness. The "new kid" in the dining room crate is 4.5 pounds, about 6 weeks old who was dumped at a lady's house. He looks to be part or most yellow lab. His appetite and energy level are good. We'll monitor that closely for the next two weeks to make sure he doesn't come down with dreaded Parvo.

We named him Simon. Sweet little guy. Casey and Noir are already trying to play with him, though Casey barked in his face once and it scared him and he screamed bloody murder and ran behind Jim!

Just look at that sweet face! I wonder how long we'll have him before he's adopted!
