Previously<\/a>… (The Foster Chronicles: ‘Nita, Week 4)<\/p>\n

Day 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

We do three miles. I attempt to orchestrate another play date with Redford afterward, but he’s drinking at the water bowl and curls his lip when she approaches.<\/p>\n

NOPE. NOT OK WITH ME. I holler at him to cut it out. End of play date.<\/p>\n

Day 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another short play date with Redford after our walk. Both dogs run. Both dogs rrrr<\/em>. ‘Nita starts to snap a bit, and I put her on the ground. Tell her no and hold her down there for a minute so she knows I’m boss. She wags and tries to kiss me.<\/p>\n

A woman expresses interest in adopting ‘Nita! I ask her for her location. Arkansas.<\/p>\n

Day 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another woman wants to meet ‘Nita; she lives near\u00a0Charlotte. Not close, but not Arkansas. Her car’s in the shop, but we make plans to meet halfway for a meet and greet when she has transportation again.<\/p>\n

As a Zen exercise, I hand over admin rights to Tulip’s page<\/a> to her adoptive mom and practice letting go. She does a good job with Tulip’s voice, but it’s still\u00a0hard because I’m a control freak.<\/p>\n

Day 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

After four and a half weeks of rope burns on my hands, I realize that walking ‘Nita on the side of me\u00a0that doesn’t have the traffic<\/em> cuts down her crazed lunges at cars by about 50%. I am S-M-R-T.<\/p>\n

Bonita is funny as shit on her Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
