Kima

Well we've had her for over 2 months now, but we have a "new" foster dog.  Remember Cinnamon?  Then there was Tilly. Now, we have Kima.  She's a pit mix we're fostering for Jasmine's House and our favorite so far.

We've also had her longer than Cinnamon and Tilly combined.  No one seemed to be interested in her.  Maybe she's not as model-pretty as some other dogs but damn if she isn't the cutest thing ever.  She's funny, easy-going and super affectionate.  We've taken her to more events than we've taken Jax to.  We went to Barcstoberfest, Dog Fest, 2 training sessions with Canine Lifestyle Academy and she even went to an event in Virginia. She's quite the social butterfly.

Finally, someone contacted Jasmine's House about her....and part of my heart broke.  How was I going to let this perfect girl go to another family?  What if they didn't spoil her the way I do?  What if she was kept outside like a lawn ornament or worse - if she got loose and ended up in a shelter or hit by a car?  Should we adopt her and become foster "fails"?

If we kept her, we wouldn't be able to foster more dogs because two dogs is definitely my limit.  Also, we would incur the expense of 2 dogs - shots, preventatives, etc. for LIFE.  So, I went through with the meet and greet and boy did that help put my fears aside.  They are going to be GREAT adopters.  She will get so much love in a house as an only dog with two children to play with her. 

In the meantime, we're going to enjoy our time with Kima.  I let the potential adopters know that they are always welcome to board her with us if they need to go out of town.  And, I have already started picking out names for our next foster...
