A weekend guest
We have a visitor this weekend, and she’s really cute.
My parents are fostering her through ARF, a local animal rescue place, and we said we would take her for the weekend while they went up to Tahoe. The decided that with all the snow that is expected up there this weekend they might lose her in a snow drift. (My parents are funny - most people avoid the mountains when there is a storm coming, but they head up if at all possible. My mom likened their habits to those of tornado chasers. *grin*)
Emma loves having the dog around and Gregory thinks the dog is somewhat interesting, but doesn’t think it is at all fair that the dog gets to go outside regularly and he doesn’t. The cats agree with Gregory. They have been spending most of their day in higher locations around the house, watching the dog’s every movement. The dog is very calm and gentle and doesn’t seem to mind the commotion of our household at all.
I am looking forward to when we are living on our property and we can get a dog of our own!

That’s precious! Will you be getting a family dog when the house is finished? I have an aunt who nearly gave herself a stroke b/c the boys didn’t have a dog. “Children need a dog!” she’d bellow. When we got Balto, I think her blood pressure went down 20 points. (Mine went up, but that’s why I recommend waiting til the house is “done”. *grin*)
Emma looks quite thrilled with the little visitor!

Yes, we’re definitely going to get a dog when we’re finished. We’re currently trying to decide if it is going to be an outdoor only dog or an indoor/outdoor. Matt’s only experience with a dog has been the outdoor only kind, but I grew up with indoor/outdoor dogs… so I’m not sure how this is going to play out! But we all are looking forward to getting one in another year or so!
