Puppyless in Seattle


All the pups have headed to their forever homes and are settled in and doing well. The office is clean and empty of puppy paraphernalia and I no longer have to get up an hour early to be able to get all the morning dog chores out of the way. As much as a relief as it is, we really miss the little fuzzheads. What a sweet little bunch.

So now we are down to Franny and Star. Franny has a good application and assuming all the interview go well she will finally be on her way to her home as well. She has been in foster care nearly a year now - in Indiana from March 2009 to September and here from September 2009 'til now - and is very deserving of a home of her own. Such a little character - we always say she's a bit like that character on the Hallmark cards? Maxine?

Star has had several apps but they always seemed to be folks who had already applied for another dog elsewhere and had Star as a backup dog. Odd because she has a wonderful, loving temperament and I would have thought that she would find a home before all the puppies were ready to go home. Hopefully soon.

The photo above shows Star and Hurley (original name was Rom) wrestling on their last morning together. Star was a great mommy until the end, always taking time to play with the puppies and keep them busy.

The first time I saw Star's pics I fell in love. It seem silly that I am waiting to apply to adopt her but I want to have everything just right at our new house for the inspection. I hope she can wait till the 18th of february for me to apply for her. I hope to meet Star Soon. and I also Hope she can wait for me.

Whitney,

If you really are interested I highly recommend filling out an application at www.newrattitude.org

That way the adoption team can get started on the process. I would be happy to hold Star until the 18th if it meant she was going somewhere where she'd be loved and taken care of.
