Then and now
In June 2003 we fostered a puppy named Buster, who came from a shelter in Waverly County, Tennessee. Here's a picture of Buster when he was a baby at the shelter:
Here's a picture we took of him during the three weeks he lived with us (when he was 3-4 months old):
The other day I got a picture from Buster's adoptive mom:
who said that he has always been the best-behaved boy and has made her family very happy.
People ask if it's hard to foster dogs, if we get attached to them and miss them when they go. Usually the answer is no, we don't get attached, although I did get choked up when I went to wash Buster's blankets and got a whiff of his puppy smell. In every case we've felt that our foster dogs were going to the perfect home and were destined for a long, happy life.
But it's always nice to get confirmation. Think I'll go drop a note to Meadow's foster moms.

P.S.: My digital camera doesn't do sound, so enjoy your trip back in time to silent Home Movies of Yore.
