Months ago I was accepted as a foster home for dogs by the National English Shepherd Rescue. They know lots about me, and about Chico, and what we do all day; and after five months, they found a dog that they think will get along in our house.

Her litter name was Ellie, her first family called her Daisy, and that’s what she is for now, but I’m pretty sure that her real name is Bonney.

I believe that Chico and I can learn to love her, and she to love us.

I believe that she wants to be a New Hampshire-livin’, agility-doin’ dog.

As I write, she should be getting on her first flight in just a few minutes. I’m going to go vacuum the house one more time, and set up some exercise pens to provide safe spaces for both dogs when we get back here this evening.
