I Would like to thank the Academy......

No, really I can't believe it, but we have just been given our first award! I don't even write that well or often, but we'll take it with humble appreciation! And, with that we would like to thank A Dog and 2 Cats for our first award.
In keeping with tradition, we need to pass this on to 3 of our favorite blogs. Let us think about it and we will update this post.

This must be our lucky week. After Mona was adopted out on Sat. morning, we were called that afternoon to pick up a 6 month old border collie mix named Rex as our next foster. He was dirty, scared & very smelly! My first thought "hmmmm, this one is going to take some work." We rode home in the 30 degree weather with the windows slightly down and our noses sticking out just so we could breathe. We came home dropped him in a warm bath and let me tell you, what a difference! 10 minutes after being towel dried, he was a completely different dog, friendly, sweet and yummy smelling clean. We received a call for him on Sunday, and made a plan for his possible forever family to come to our house to meet him, so they could see how he is in his home environment. They fell in love and after reference checks took him home for Christmas.
I have had the luckiest week; 2 foster dogs adopted out in 4 days; that is unheard of. But, we are so happy as they are so deserving of a Christmas in a forever home. And to top that off, we won our first blog awards. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US!
