A New Home for Humble

Another whirlwind couple of days! Carl had surgery on Friday to repair his heel and ankle that were broken when he slipped off our barn in December. The surgery scheduled for early in the afternoon was delayed and at 9:30 last night we were leaving the hospital for a two-hour drive home on snowy roads.

Today started early when the phone rang at 7:30 and it was the repairman who was coming to fix a problem with our new heating/air system. He told me he was on his way and would arrive at 8 o'clock. He finally came at 10; better late than never I suppose.

With a new thermostat put in for our heating system, I was on the road with Humble. I'd taken her last week to meet someone who was just approved to adopt from the rescue.  I really hoped the two would be a match because I thought they were perfect for one another. Unfortunately, she is still mourning the loss of her Golden from several months ago and even though she thought she was ready for a new addition, in the end, she decided that she wasn't.  Humble is such a nice dog, and I have to admit that it had me rethinking my request to the rescue to move her to a new foster home. But a couple of more fights, one that occurred while our dog-walker was here and another with Sheba and Annie who was trying to step over her, I knew she had to go. Her new foster home (also) looks perfect from the outside. She has very recently lost her Golden  and unlike the previous lady that we met, she is so, so excited that Humble is coming to live with her. I am hopeful that the two will find a connection and forge a bond with one another.

This afternoon our house feels quiet and a little emptier. Carl is resting the dogs are also napping nearby. I hope it stays this way.
