With all the shepherds I've taken in recently, and with Trooper coming back instead of getting adopted, I've reached a magic threshold o
f foster shepherds. I can now answer authoritatively the question "how many shepherds in a shitload?" The answer is five. First came Thor (right). The second one I took in upon my return hasn't yet made an appearance here. Her name is Sadie (in water tank, left). She came from the same home that dumped Duke in the Greene County shelter a while back. I had her in with Sparky and they got into a fight (his fault), so she is now up in my office, along with Lexi (heartworms), and the little boxer girl Abigail. Molly has had to give up her crate to the fosters so she now has Emmylou's old bed in the office, which isn't a hardship by any means. Along with Thor and Teddy (beagle) in the outdoor kennel, is Axel and now Trooper. Fortunately the boys all get along and more surprisingly, the girls do too. I put all five foster shepherds together in the dogyard today, along with Abigail, for a photo op.
I'm talking to a prosective home for Abigail the boxer and I hope we can make that happen next weekend. I'm going to an adoption event in Front Royal tomorrow with the shepherd group. There is no point in taking Lexi yet because she needs heartworm treatment. Sadie still has a wound on one leg courtesy of Sparky, so I guess that leaves Trooper, Thor, and Axel.

It's cute. "This, too, shall pass".
You are a wonderful man for all you do.
Happy Father's Day on Sunday.
Best of luck with the adoptions.
