A Coversation with Luna’s Foster Mom

Well, last night I received an exciting phone call.  The call came from Luna’s foster mom.  We spoke for a while about Luna.  I was really curious to know some personal things about her.  I wanted to know what her favorite toys are, what she eats, if she is crate trained.  I even asked what her bark sounded like.  My curiousity has been killing me!  Well, the answers weren’t that surpising.  She likes plush toys the best.  (I kind of thought that would be the case because that is what the boys like best, too.)  She is on Science Diet Nature’s Best.  She is not crate trained.  However, the funniest thing was that her foster mom described Luna’s bark to be something like a high pitched Dino (of Flintstone’s fame) bark.  That is the thing that I really got a chuckle from because it sounds so different than what the boys’ barks sound like.  I will be curious to see how that food works for her.  As I am sure you know if you’ve ever read the blog, the boys eat home cooked foods.  That is predominantly because they have acid reflux and Benny has had a bout with pancreatitis.  In any event, it was great to hear from Luna’s foster mom.  We are so excited to go get her that we can hardly wait!  Only 2 more days!

PS I really want to express gratitude to Luna’s foster mom for doing such an honorable job.  Being a foster must be so bittersweet and they play such an important role in making sure that dogs in need of good homes get the love they deserve.
