Adoption event done wrong

Ford's adoption didn't take and he was back Saturday morning. He was a bit too much for the other dog in the household. That meant that Ford was available to attend the Green Dogs adoption event on Sunday along with Mercy. That wasn't what went wrong, in fact the dogs did everything right. It was Mercy's first public outing and she was as friendly and outgoing as Ford, and even a bit less jumpy. They were both happy and friendly with other dogs and all the people we met. It was a good experience, especially for Mercy because it was her first. She didn't want to get out of the van when we first arrived, but as soon as we got inside and she was a part of the group getting a lot of attention, she loved it.

The "done wrong" part of today's event was entirely my doing. I can home with one more dog than I started with, and that's not how these things are intended to work.

A transporter came to the event to bring me a new foster, a one year old Great Dane named Odin. That's a great and powerful name but he's actually a sweet and goofy guy more affectionately referred to as Odie. Odie seems to have been well cared for and well loved at least, and is said to be house trained, crate trained, good with all sizes of dogs and even small humans. 

A public adoption event is no place for a new dog, directly off a transport, knowing no one, so when Odie arrived I loaded up Ford and Mercy and we came home. I've only had Odie with Bailey so far, but they've been fine together. He'll get accustomed to the routine and all the other residents in the coming days.

Cosmo went back home this evening, keeping our number at a nice even 10 for now.
