We are officially a foster family! This morning Terhi and the kids went to the shelter and selected a labrador-German-shepherd mix named Gracie.
Gracie is a sweetie. She's eight years old and has some arthritis, but you'd never know it. She's a cheerful, energetic charmer who is great with kids, indifferent to cats, and seems to get along just fine with our ten-year-old Australian Sheepdog mix, Lady.
It's been an exciting day! We're all still getting used to each other, but her enthusiasm and grin are contagious. It's too early to really tell what she'll be like, but we can already tell that there's a lot of love inside that big, furry body.
