Today is Shelby's last day at our house. Tonight (or tomorrow morning depending on schedules) she'll get picked up by her new mom and fur-sister, Djinn, a beautiful blue (gray) and white rat terrier. It has been wonderful spending the last few weeks with her because she's such a wonderful, well-mannered dog. She loves to play, but is even more happy snuggling in someone's lap or down underneath a big pile of cushy blankets. Things we'll remember about Shelby is her funny little whine - she hates to be away from her people and cries like a baby when she's separated from them; and her ability to jump about 4 1/2 feet from a standing position, over and over and over like a little tan and white pogo stick. Her temporary foster mom in Texas will remember her for her ninja-like ability to scale a 6' chain-link fence. She just wanted to get back inside to the people though, not run away, so she would climb the fence and then go sit on the front porch to wait for them.
I know that she'll have a happy life, gaining confidence as she settles into her forever home and blossoms from the love and stability she'll experience.
