Hello everyone, Foster Mom to Miss Suellen reporting. Suellen has been my foster for almost eight weeks. Her adoption is pending and she is staying with me until after her forever mom returns from her vacation. Yesterday I purchased a new pair of shoes. Seemed like an odd thing to buy but I was waiting for my daughter to have her wisdom teeth removed and the specialist told me to go shopping and get something at the sidewalk sales. What a world we live in. I can spend money at the same time my daughter is like a lamb to the slaughter. Sorry, I digress. I did but a new pair of shoes, first one in about a year and they were so lovely I wore them home. Apparently Suellen did not approve of my choice and was quite suspicious of me. This morning she would not come out of her kennel when I approached her in my purchase and so I promptly changed shoes. This however did not draw her out. Treats and kisses did not work either. Apparently I had crossed some barrier I did not know existed. I walked my other dogs sans Suellen and when when we returned home she quietly came out of her kennel to greet me. Not the usual exuberance. I noticed the first thing she did was to look at my feet and smell them. The old sight and smell met with her approval and she ran zipping around the house. You forget sometimes what sensitive creatures these are. She is happy now and I guess it will be a while before I am able to wear those lovely new shoes. I guess I should have sprung for the ruby slippers.
