Everyone; this is Molly.  Molly: this is everyone.  Julie and I have been kicking around the idea of having a dog for a while.  There have been many reasons we have held off.  One of them being, that neither of us own a car.  This would potentially make it difficult because I am racing my mountain bike almost every weekend this summer.  Well, Booker found Molly running around in the street up north while he was on one of his walks.  He had her put into a kennel that ArfChicago was using to house some of their dogs.  There was some drama there and she got moved to a different facility.  She was apparently not doing very well living in her crate all day and all night.  So, Booker and Brandi were taking her home on the weekends so that she could have some time around people and their dogs.  This past weekend she got sick and was not able to go back to the kennel and get all the other animals sick.  So, Booked and Brandi were going to hold onto her a bit longer.  Sunday afternoon Julie and I went over to their place and were really happy with her.  After talking a bit, they told us that fostering an animal is a possibility.  We could have her for 2 days or 2 years.....until she gets adopted.  This is perfect for us, as a trial to see if having a dog is a possibility.  So we talked about it on the walk home and decided we should try it.  It is so much better for Molly here than it was at the kennel.  She is very mild mannered.  Great on walks.  Hardly barks.  She sleeps al the time.  And since she is so skinny from under feeding from her old owner and the stress from the shelters, she inhales her food.  I am already way too attached.
