yes, i have a face





The story of Bales is actually interesting. I met her months ago when I went to the shelter looking for a Jack Russell Terrier or any other smallish dog. For various reasons (as I blogged about here and here), that didn't work out. Her name was Angel back then. The way she looked at me with her pleading eyes was too much to walk by, and I took her out of the kennel and played with her. She was amazing, just too big, I thought. Then last week, for various reasons, I decided having a big dog might not be a bad idea. I logged onto Petfinder and there she was, Angel! I thought, "There is no way she could still be available!" I made the call and, sure enough, she had been in foster care with a woman who works at the shelter the entire time. Her foster mom brought her in last Saturday and never took her home.
