The Foster Chronicles: Tulip, Week 6, Days 4-7

Day 4

My mom visits and gives her foster granddog a present: a soft blanky (“because she’s so snuggly”) with a picture of a doggy and a kitty on it. The doggy on the blanket is not a pit bull. We discuss the fact that they probably don’t make blankets with pit bulls on them. A quick google search proves us so very wrong.

You can even get a pit bull slanket (90% fleece, 10% treacle).

My eyes!

Day 5

I awake at 5:20 to the familiar backwards-gulp sound (uh-ggg, uh-ggg, uh-ggg) of a dog fixin’ to thow up. I jump out of bed and flip on lights. Redford’s fine; Violet’s fine. Tulip has yorked a big pile of grassy mess onto her new blanky. I let her outside for a while, clean up the mess, and open the window to air out the room. Then I settle down on the couch, hoping to go back to sleep for half an hour. Tulip curls up in the crook of my knees and shnores. I lie there listening to the birds shriek at each other until my alarm goes off.

When I go out in the evening, Tulip goes in her crate with no padding over the plastic tray because it’s in the wash from the barfing. While I’m gone, she eats the damn crate tray.

It is et.

Later, I will be walking through the kitchen barefoot in the dark and kick that jagged part, slicing open the ball of my left foot.

Day 6

Tulip is outside. When I go out to check on her, this is hanging out of her mouth.

In the previous few days, I have wrestled this

and this

from Redford and Violet.

I get emotional like always. And then I go to the farmers’ market and buy chicken. I feel ridiculous.

Day 7

I buy Tulip a new pink tennis ball to play with. Within five minutes,

it is et.

  1. One thing I have actually noticed is the fact there are plenty of misguided beliefs regarding the banks intentions while talking about home foreclosure. One myth in particular is the fact the bank wishes to have your house. Your banker wants your hard earned cash, not your property. They want the money they lent you with interest. Steering clear of the bank will only draw any foreclosed conclusion. Thanks for your article.

  2. Thanks for your ideas. One thing I’ve got noticed is always that banks along with financial institutions really know the spending habits of consumers and also understand that a lot of people max out there their own credit cards around the holiday seasons. They wisely take advantage of this kind of fact and then start flooding your inbox and snail-mail box together with hundreds of no interest APR credit card offers shortly when the holiday season closes. Knowing that for anyone who is like 98 of all American community, you’ll soar at the one opportunity to consolidate consumer credit card debt and transfer balances for 0 interest rate credit cards.

  3. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  4. Excellent blog here! Also your website loads up very fast! What host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my website loaded up as fast as yours lol
