Good Karma



We have a puppy!

Am I crazy?
Well, a little background. Last week a call went out on Craig's List for foster families for a whole bunch of dogs from a Kentucky pound that were going to be put down at the end of the week.
I figured we could take one temporarily, just to get them out of the shelter.

I wrote and offered and didn't hear anything back so I figured they didn't need us.
Yesterday I got a call asking if we could take a healthy puppy who was in with a group of sick ones. I said I could as long as it was only a short term.
In the afternoon a young man showed up with a terrified and VERY smelly puppy named "Karma". She was shaking and went into the back of the kennel and wouldn't come near us. I was thinking that we may have a very difficult time socializing this one...
Well, we all worked on making friends and by the end of the evening she had had a bath and was exploring the house. I don't know if she has ever lived inside, but so far she is behaving like a perfect lady!
She is a very interesting brindle color and is very smart.
It shouldn't take long to find her a family, but I am going to be very picky!
