Did you ever watch the movie Babe? (yes the one with the pig) and there are these little mice that (in the story) turn the pages and announce what the chapter is? In that movie there was a chapter - said in mouse talk
A Dark Day...............
She is gone. I am blue. Dude called and said he was on his way and showed up 30 seconds later. I thought BLOODY Hell did you call from the end of the driveway? I had her little suitcase packed. Her blanket, her pillow, her toy basket, her pom pons "GO TEAM POOTIE" I was teaching her to cheer - so cute. He bones, her kitty doll, her foot ball, and all the tennis balls, and packed her snacks, her food, her dish, her water bowl.
The only thing I forgot to get was kleenex for me. I was a mess. Dude started to chuckle - and then said "Mom you're serious! I've never seen you like ......Aw Mom it's okay I'll take good care of her." and then I left the room with her - handed him her collar with matching leash and gigantic soft chew bone from her Great Grandma.....a DVD on puppy care, her ear cleaner and I kissed her, and she looked at me like "WHat? What's going on Namma?" and then.....they were gone.
Dude came back and said "Hey Mom? You suppose you could watch her next weekend for me? I think she must like it here and Grrrrrrandpa and Nammahs =she's gained a ton!"
So there was a little something to look forward to - and Dude told me to keep her toys here - She has tons at home. Left the food - for when she visits - and that was the end of it.
He said he didn't have a super time at the beach - it was okay. I didn't get my happy from him - a fossil he found. He forgot - he was so in and out I didn't really get to ask him much.
We go Monday for a meeting with the fosters - and we told him - if she is covered in fleas - she'll be leaving with us.
She has had her shots (1st set), she's on frontline for fleas, Heartguard for heartworm preventative, she had her ears cleaned and treated for mites, she was wormed, she got toys, she played, she was a joy and I'm really going to miss her all week.
