Will we be good enough?
This is a picture of “Betsy” a Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd mix.
Paige and I have been looking to rescue a dog for the last three weeks and this cutie was an immediate, “She’s the one!”
I’ve never adopted a dog before. I thought you just show up, pay the adoption fee and save a pup’s life. Boy, was I mistaken. In order to adopt her you must submit an application online where it goes through a pre-approval process. Then you arrange for a home visit, your references are checked, FBI background scan is performed, you give up some blood samples and then a pledge of your next born child if you don’t take care of the pup. And then you pay them $300 for this.
Oh God. While I appreciate the rescue shelter’s diligence, we are at the edge of our seats! Will we be good enough?

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

That is the cutest dog I have seen in quite awhile. Not that I surround myself with dogs on a consistent basis, but that’s still pretty impressive.
She is very sweet, isn’t she. No response yet! *sigh*
