It's Tuesday when I get a phone call from one of the other families that were interested in Freddie. She'd like to know if Freddie was adopted, I tell her not yet and she whoops with joy and almost yells at me, "We want him! We'll be there tonight!" They've decided to adopt both Freddie and a chocolate lab mix Lilly that Carol has. Two puppies at the same time, these people are brave!
That evening they get to my house and everyone is dancing with joy. Their little boy, Mom and most of all Freddie. After a few minutes to do paperwork Freddie follows them to the truck with his tail wagging, ready to go. They tell me that if he rides well in the truck the gentleman might take him on the road with him occasionally as he drives his semi. I think Freddie would love that! The next day I get a call from the first family. They're disappointed that Freddie is no longer available. I guess it goes to show...you snooze you loose.
We've continued to get to know Piper. I chose her name, I don't know whether she's incredibly smart or I just happened to chose something close to her old name. I continue to be baffled that no one seems to be looking for her.
It's Logan's turn to fall in love with a foster. He's home for the weekend again and gets to meet Piper for the first time. When Logan settles on the couch Piper jumps up beside him, pushes her way under his arm and lays her head on his shoulder with a big sigh. While Logan gushes about how cool she is Piper just snuggles in. Once again we have to have "the talk".
