New Fur Baby

It has been a month since we lost Ginger.  The kids have been fighting over who Dexter will sleep with.  Even more frustrating is they wake each other up to steal him back.  Dave had left the search up to Reganne with the only requirements being no shedding and a rescue.  She found Sabrina a husky, terrier mix at RescuePets here in town.  It was time to learn a whole new process in finding a new member of our family.  New words are used Guardianship vs Adoption?  Every place requires an application filled out and submitted.  References are required and approved.  Once you finish all this then you can learn more and meet the animal.  Ryder was not sitting back waiting for the process to be completed.  He called the number and asked them for an update.  They were in the process of reviewing our applications and would call back with an appointment time.

The introduction

The first person she went to was Dave.

First family pictures.

She was full of energy doing

spins & jumps.

We made it through the first meeting at the office.  It was now time to talk with the foster mom, another person at the agency, and finally a home visit.  

Home visit

She was a little reserved.

Dexter just sniffed and

stole one of her toys.

So far so good... We made it to the 7 day home trial visit.  Let the fun begin.

Wrestling or

fighting for toys?

We passed with flying colors!!  We are not the guardians but the new owners of this crazy 1 year old.  Her new name is Piper but she hasn't learned that yet.  She doesn't bark a lot instead whines when left alone.  She hates the kennel and has emptied the garbage can multiple times.  She loves to shred paper, plastic bags, and even the mesh laundry bag for our masks.  She has an over abundance of puppy energy that we are working to release.  The daily walks are helping.  We also have been trying visits to the park to play ball.  This is going to be another fun adventure.
