Moments Worth Mentioning

It’s always bitter-sweet to hear from the Shipley family. I really can’t believe how terribly I still miss these two dogs. I tell myself that I gave them up because I loved them too much to watch them not have the best life possible. They deserved better than I could give… But man, what a hole it left in my heart.

Anyway, things are going great. Foster and Sadie are very much loved. Foster is my shadow – I often have to look where I walk as he is always sitting by my left leg when I am in the kitchen, getting ready in the morning, etc. He loves my cats, and they love him. He gets in the cat beds and lays with them and licks out their ears every day. Kind of gross, but the cats love it. Sadie always tries to get in on the action, but winds up licking my cats on the face which doesn’t make them happy. Sadie still sleeps with Nathan every night – Foster is always trying to sneak in my room. I have him sleep in Nathan’s room each night, and then I sometimes sneak him into my room later in the night. Sadie just lifts her head up off Nathan’s bed and looks at me, then goes back to sleep. She seems to like to protect him. They are the stars at Nathan’s school. I bring them with me often when I go to pick Nathan up after school.

Thanks again so much for everything. And I really am sorry that I haven’t talked to you sooner. I will definitely try to stay in touch more. Take care, and have a great weekend. It is supposed to be beautiful out.
