Leila Goes Home/Jerrad Gets Work

Two happy occurrences over the last couple of days. Firstly, Leila found her awesome new home with active mum who can take her to school, and 13 year old daughter who will hit her out with 4-H obedience, agility and show classes. They even had an agility course set up in their backyard (can you say jealous much!!) Although originally I made the call of no for an adoption due to low fences (2 feet since canine sibling is a wienie dog), within 12 hours, mum and daughter fixed the fence to get it up to five feet all the way around.  Talk about gung-ho! So I was very pleased and sent her home. The people were awesome, I just didn't want her to accidentally get away. Safety first :)

Here is Leila with her new family:
Camera was unprepared for unusually sunny day.  
And Jerrad now has work! Thank you to everyone that sent different prospects our way. He will be working for an environmental company helping with clean-up. As a labourer to start but with potential to grow. He will still be hunting down an elusive job in his field, but this job should keep us here and stable for minimum a few more months. He starts tomorrow!

In the midst of that my computer had an Alzheimer's attack (IE: It's hard-drive died). It lives $200 later, but will probably be on it's last legs. Getting to be an old bugger. But they cleaned it's outsides as well as it's insides so it's feeling kind of new.

A few weeks until we get a new TG dog. We might be helping out another dog in the meantime that just hasn't been having any luck getting adopted the last couple of months. It always feels weird to have an empty spot someone could be using.

Oh, and a picture of Jinks for good measure:

WHATDYA MEAN I'M ADOPTED?!?!?

Hi Emily; so happy that there were two wonderful happenings at your end of the world! Congrats to Jerrad has work. It must be a huge relief to know that you can keep renting your place and doing the foster thing. Love your blog!

Yay for Jerrad. At what age do you recommend telling them they've been adopted? We've been putting it off.
