Featured Happy Ending: Tia
Deciding to foster a dog was easy,
we had space and the desire to help. We wanted to watch someone open up and
find their place, then find their forever home. I knew it would be hard to let
them go, but it would be easier because they wouldn't be our dog. We learned we
were getting Tia and it sounded great, she had an easy sweet disposition. She
was kind and loved everyone, perfect for us with a dog, kids and a cat already. We needed an easy dog, one that fit....we just didn't realize how well.
Picking her up at Phydeaux went
great, she got right in the car and climbed in the front. I would later learn,
that was her spot and sitting in your lap was ideal to her, but most pitties
aren't made for squeezing in between the steering wheel and the door. She feels
special now when she gets in the passenger side, but now prefers the back seat. She loves to sleep on my daughter's lap as we drive and is a wonderful
rider.
At home she met Bandit, the resident
dog at home. Everyone got along great, he watched her in her crate during her 2
week shut down period and she learned our routine. She saw the cat, the kids,
the lay of the land and was comfortable. Tia has always been an easy dog, she
loves to cuddle and sleep. Playing isn't her thing, getting belly rubs and
giving kisses makes her day. She is always happy and wagging her tail, if you
look her way she wags her tail. Her ability to give love never ceases to amaze
me.
We started getting ready to go to events, like Cat
Banjo, Phydeaux and various parades. At events, she always greeted people with a
smile and was happy to be seen. She was a nervous girl out, but we learned ways
to help her cope with new situations. She had people interested, meet and
greets and one trial adoption for less than 24 hours. They were great people,
but she missed us and was afraid of this completely new situation. It wasn't
meant to be, but her being with us was. We never really set out to keep Tia as
part of the family, she just became one.
