I got a call from my poochies foster mom... Due to a delay in getting her current foster out of the nest, she had to wait until tonight to pick him up. She promised to give me a call and let me know how he's doing. I requested for him to be delivered on a Wednesday night because I am taking Thursday and Friday off to be with him ( Read more... )

I got the call... I am officially approved.
