Flip-Flop
In just a few hours, our household will increase once again to include six dogs. Their names are Marty, Mikey, Bonnie and Buster, Fletcher, and Angie.
Yep, Angie is coming back.
We were already scheduling much of today to take Angie to the vet to be fixed. (An odd word to use, when we're talking about making sure something
doesn't work, but never mind.)
Sunday, der B received a phone call. The woman who had adopeted Angie had decided it wasn't a good match, that Angie wasn't getting enough exercise, and could we take her back? It turned out that the woman's daughter was the one voicing the objections, mainly that Angie is too big a dog.
Monday, the woman called again. She had changed her mind. Angie was getting enough exercise, and the real problem was that she barks at the trucks that drive by the house.
Today, we drove over to pick up Angie. The woman sadly had to ask us to keep her, as her daughter had voiced more objections, saying that Angie kept knocking down the youngest child in the family (aged two). The woman was clearly sad that things hadn't worked out, but it was easier to give up the dog than give up her daughter.
So we took Angie to the vet, with Fletcher, Bonnie and Buster in the car with us. They were along to get booster shots, and were quite happy to see her again. When we pick Angie up later this afternoon, we'll be taking Marty and Mikey along for their shots as well.
And that is how we once again have six dogs living with us.
