Faulkner is about to get what we hope will be a new favorite-- a foster dog has come up that I will pick up tomorrow afternoon, who has the youthful energy Ruby used to have to romp and exercise in the house and in the dog yard, and who is a good size/weight match for full-grown Faulkner.

Sadie is a yellow lab whose daddie is headed for an overseas deployment and whose mommie is about to complete a difficult pregnancy in a small house with several other little kids. Sadie misses the great big rural property she used to run on, and can no longer be safely walked in town.

We don't know if she will be a brief visitor or a longterm fixture of the household, but Ruby has been going downhill fast in the last several months so-- There Is A Dog.
