But the good news is that I'll have a companion soon to keep my mind off the turmoil. Meet Caroline! She's my new lab-mix babe, and unbeknownst to her, she'll soon be my therapist/workout buddy/cuddle partner/and my child's playmate. Big job for what will only be a 30 lb dog.
She's finishing up some training at the local prison, but we've already purchased all her essentials as we anxiously wait for graduation day. I've spent only about 45 minutes with her since we signed the adoption papers so I can't report on much. But she has a great temperament and seems to love snuggles, so I think she'll fit in just fine with our family. What's funny is that we went to the shelter with the intention of adopting an elderly dog--our dog didn't get to live to see old age, so we figured we'd provide the best years that we could to one that has. Surprisingly, there were mostly babies at both shelters, so here we are with an 8 month old. As my 2 year old child would say, "I can't wait to get started, mom."
