Blonde On Blonde!

At nine thirty this morning, the dogs outside started barking! I went outside to see a caravan of vehicles driving in—John’s van led the way, Carol’s truck followed and Malea and Lorri’s rental car was bringing up the rear! Hello, adoptions! I put on my pink Crocs, grabbed my trusty camera and headed outside.

Malea had already taken off to go get Ghost Dog with Tony, and John, Lorri and Carol were at the barn. When Carol saw me walking up, she left John and Lorri, who were discussing Sierra's adoption.

When Carol met up with me she was wearing a big smile. “Nance, this is too funny! John just told Lorri that he didn’t think Sierra would be a good dog for her to adopt, as a companion, for her blind Lab!”

“What?” I asked.

“Lorri said,” Carol said. “Blonde Lab and John thought she had said blind!” She and I burst out laughing and then teased John about it—as Lorri filled out Sierra’s adoption papers.

After Tony had put the dog tags on Ghost Dog’s and Nash’s new dog collars—Malea and Lorri loaded up the two very happy dogs, and then took off for North Texas! We were all wearing smiles as we waved goodbye to them.

Carol and I visited a little while, and then at 10:30, a big fancy Suburban drove into the rescue ranch! It was Joy and Wayne delivering Amber from Houston!

While I visited with Joy and Wayne and discussed Amber—Carol and John took Amber and introduced her to Ms. Pepper! Ms. Pepper was glad to have a new roommate, since Sierra had just left, but Amber seemed a little sad. I am sure, that within a couple of days, Amber will be happy to be here.

I am so happy that Ghost Dog and Sierra were adopted this morning! It had made my day!
