Sunday morning I receive a call from the family that looked at Freddie multiple times at the Pick-A-Pet. They'd like to know if they can come by and look at him again. We set up a time to meet and I give them directions. In the meantime Sierra has fallen in love with Freddie. He's a funny looking little boy with red short hair and a face that has twice as much skin on it as it should. This gives Freddie lots of interesting wrinkles on his face that shift as he turns his head. Most of the time he looks slightly worried.
Sierra has decided that SHE wants to adopt Freddie and offers to pay the $50.00 to make it official. I point out that she won't be able to have him next year in her college apartment. Sure I can keep him but by then he'll be almost 2 and will have spent most of his life with me. This is the same discussion I had to have with Madi. Much as we love the dogs we can't keep them. It's our job to find them their forever home. The fun is you never know who the next dog to come around the corner is going to be.
Freddie's perspective family show up and spend an hour waffling over what to do. They're in the area camping and won't be going home for another few days. Finally they decided to NOT decide and think about it some more. I've been worried about Annie and I'm planning on calling her new owner to find out how she's doing. Before I get the chance, he calls me. He tells me Annie is doing well but wants to know what kind of food she eats. She hasn't eaten the food he offered but she has eaten pizza crusts, cottage cheese, hot dogs and hoof trimmings from a visit to the horse corral. I teasingly tell him that if she's getting all that stuff why would she want to eat plain dog food?
I'm so relieved she seems to be adjusting well!
