Doggy assessment

I have to rush home from work today to meet the social worker from family services because, get this, she has to meet our dog. A couple of months ago I put in an application to be a foster parent and their policy is no homes with pitbulls. But since Roxy is a mix, we're still being considered, contingent on her good behavior today during the home visit. Of course I have no concerns about Roxy, because she's the sweetest dog ever. I also had to get written testimonials from our vet and the SPCA where we adopted her, and when I contacted them they both thought I was applying to foster pets, so I had to explain that the letter had to go to the county office for humans.

ADDENDUM 10 p.m.

Of course Roxy passed with flying colors. As the social worker was leaving, Caleb came bounding up and asked, "Are we going to get one?" It was hilarious - he's really exciting, which is completely thrilling to me.
