The family Grows

This is Abbie's face when she saw the newest member of our household.

We are foster dog parents!


Here they are in the back seat when I picked Abbie up from school today.

Rocky is nine months old. He was hit by a car and needed several major surgeries to repair a shattered back leg. His owners could not afford the surgeries and eventually decided to give him up to the Southern Animal Foundation, where we found him.

He needs exercise to build back the tiny muscles in his hurt leg. He needs love. He needs some housetraining. And he needs a family who can take him in for good. Unfortunately for us, we can only provide the first three. Our lives are pretty uncertain, especially starting in June. But we will love having him for as long as we get to keep him, and we know we're helping make him more adoptable, too.



If you know someone who might be able to take in one of the sweetest, smartest dogs I have ever met, please let me know. (Feel free to take your time, because we love having him... but please do.)
