: I'm picking up TWO NEWF GIRLS THIS WEEKEND! Oh, and transport help anyone?
: Nicole December 12, 2006, 04:33:44 AM
I AM SO EXCITED! I have been approved as a Newf foster home! I'm picking up two girls this weekend. One will be my foster. Her name is "Special" cuz she is. She's blind in one eye. I can't wait to meet her! The other one will be moving on to her new home! YAAAAAAAAAAAAA AY! Anyway, we could use some transport help. Here are the legs, if anyone is in that neck-o-the woods.

How exciting...I wish I could help out but I'm really far away. :) 

So, where does the other girl go?  Does she already have a home?  And, also, does Special already have a home (hint, hint)?   ;)

Julie

hehehe...well, the other girl has a home.

Special? We'll see. I (of course) am not opposed AT ALL! But we'll see how Mark takes her.

I'm sending brain washing vibes...Ommmm. ...Ommmm..Ommm mm... Mark will love Special....Omm mm...Ommmm


hahahhaaha! Thanks, Julie. But, I'm sure he's going to love her...send the "Mark will want to KEEP Special" vibes! hahaha!

Honestly, though. I'm not sweating it. I'm more than happy to see a super girl go to a super home.

Well, Cole, I can't think of a more super home than your's.  So its settled.  She's staying.  ;D

(Just remember that Mark doesn't really exist anyway!  He is a figment of your imagination!!!)

Jenn, my BFF...you make TWO very very VERY goo points!

Congrats Nicole!!! If Special is anything like Onyx (who comes from the same rescue organization) I'm sure there'll be NO problems in convincing a certain someone into keeping her.  I wish I were closer to be able to help, but Upstate NY is just a tiny bit out of the way.  Onyx was our first foster - and yes, I'll proudly admit it, we're 'foster failures'.  Once hubby laid eyes on her, it was a matter of DAYS before he started asking me about adoption proceedings.  LOL  As I'm writing this, Onyx is sleeping in the kitchen snoring to beat the band!  Such a sweet girl.

Onyx came from Autumn Acres? How cool! Well, she comes home today, so I will post pictures for everyone! I'm SO excited!

Also, a playdate in Chicago with Julie, Gweck-n-Beans, Aaron and a Weim named Gatsby! So, there will surely be tons of FUN photos. I'm told that Special is VERY playful and energetic, so she should fit in well with those Dane boys and the Great Gatsby!
