The whole "foster a dog" thing is pretty cool. Aaron and I have been talking about getting a puppy/dog for quite some time now. Debating on whether we wanted to get a puppy or full grown, adopt or buy, and what kind of dog.
Although I would never want to get boxer, it has been a good experience and I'm glad we did it. She's a sweet dog, but needs lots of training and attention. Glad we could give her a home instead of her waiting in a dark room until she was adopted.
While having Haley with us the past few weeks, we were able to pretty much decide on exactly what we wanted.
-Small/medium size dog. One that can be mostly indoor with Sophia and I while Aaron is at work.
-Medium/long haired. The short hair is actually harder to clean up. And just not as soft...
-A puppy. We had wanted to skip the puppy stage, but I think it'd be best for Sophia.
Sophia was very curious about Haley first, but never wanted her face to be near hers. Probably because Haley's mouth is gigantic! Ha, ha. I'd be afraid of that, too if I were just a little girl! She does a lot better with her now though, and likes to pet her back and feel her hair. She mostly visits with Haley at her favorite window or when we go on walks. Every time she hears her bark she gasps and lets out a little, high pitched "arf arf" herself. It's pretty much the cutest.
Sammy had Sophia the morning we picked Haley up, so it was just Aaron and I!
On our way home we ran over a screw that went straight through the tire. Boo. So we pulled into a little auto shop to get it fixed or the spare put on. We were pretty close to our house, so Aaron suggested we just walk home, then he'd come back to get the car.
It was great! Haley was able to get out all her energy and we had a nice little day date!
