Our neighbors came over to visit this afternoon to meet "Abbie", the dog we have on a trial basis from the Humane Society. It hasn't been quite the wonderful experience we had hoped for with our dog, "Missy". Abbie is high energy and not playful with Missy, as we had hoped for. Our neighbors are dog lovers and they encouraged us to give Abbie and Missy a chance to adjust to one another. They had 3 dogs but one of them died last year. The two remaining dogs are each very different in personality and it was refreshing to hear them talk about how one of them is a very difficult dog to live with. I love that they did not give up on that dog. Her name is "Dumpster". Because that's where they found her. (gulping the lump in my throat) ....
TAKE AWAY: I never know where encouragement is going to come from.
It's always at the least likely time and place.
Awwww..sad how the doggie got her name, but so happy that she was given a good home and a unique name! :-)
