Hurray it won't be long before a haul is headed our way. We only ordered one extra this time. I ordered a foster dog. A-Come-Helen she is a black 5 year old girl. Something about her face reminded me of my girl Run. The clincher for me was that she has flea allergies and I love the idea of bringing her north where fleas are few and far in between. I can't wait to see her and hope I actually get to foster her a little while before she is snatched up.

The winter here has already seemed very long. We have had lots of everything...rain, cold, ice and snow. I have been busy the last week or so with craft projects. Its been years since I just set down and enjoyed doing something with my hands with no time line hanging over me. Of course there are things I need to be doing which I am neglecting but for now it is enough to putter. One of my goals this upcoming year is to show Run in at least rally obedience. She is so smart and likes to puzzle solve which makes training her a lot of fun. But for tonight I will have to be content with listening to the wind blowing around the corners of the house and dreaming of meeting Helen and training Run.
