We dropped off Bug(sy) at Muttville yesterday. It was hard to say goodbye to this little angel, but he’s in amazing hands and will get adopted quickly. Why am I so confident? They turn these dogs around fast there! Also, looking at the other seniors in there, he’s far more ambulatory and relatively young for a dog his size, so he probably has many more happy years of his life.

I know he and I bonded very much, but that also proves to me that he can easily bond with another person after his surgery. I have to keep telling myself that it is not a failure on my part not to take in every stray, but my mission on the board of HSNB is to make sure as many homeless animals as possible are permanently homed. Muttville is amazing and the facilities are incredible while he waits a short while to be adopted. His new name will be Hammock!

Four fosters and lots of interesting times.

For those who are keeping track, Calvin & Hobbes are hopefully soon to be permanently homed together. Bug(sy) is going to Muttville on Tuesday, where I know he’ll get the medical attention he needs in a few areas to make the rest of his hopefully long life wonderful for a new home where I know he’ll be so loved. All three of these dogs are extremely loveable and I feel very honored that Shea and I could give them a good home for a spell. Hoping these three are soon to be placed, we also recently took in a special needs dog that wasn’t thriving that well in a crate in the shelter.

Miso took a few days to warm up to us, but he’s going to be an amazing pet to someone after being abandoned like all these other dogs were. It’s very inspiring to have these dogs come from an environment that scares them and just a few days in a real home shows how they can thrive. There are so many dogs at HSNB and other shelters that could really use our attention. Miso looks like a miniature German Shepherd with the pointed ears. I don’t mind being a rehab for dogs that fit into the pack we have at home.
