Highlander and Adam

Yesterday we walked Noah to school. Evan walked to the bus stop.

Morry had a 10am meeting up north and we had a 12:15 appointment at Charles Maund Toyota, so I went with Morry to North Austin.  I dropped him off and then went to one of the locations nearby of Austin Pets Alive.

I wanted to see if they had any dogs there to foster.  When I got there it was very chaotic.  I finally managed to speak with someone who told me the dogs there were not available for foster and I need to go to the downtown location.  During this time, I kept hearing them ask for volunteers to transfer donated items to the other locations.  So, I volunteered to load up my car and take some stuff to the downtown location.

We filled the van with litter, food, crates, cleaning supplies and more.

At the downtown location, everyone was busy so I had to start unloading the items on my own. Finally, a woman came over a helped me.

When I was done unloading my car, I went to look at the dogs needing fosters.  There was a cute young looking dog named Adam.  I wrote down my name on the sheet to say I was interested.

Then, I left to pick up Morry from the meeting.

From there, we went to Charles Maund.  I worked out a deal with them.  I will help them some social media and they will lend me a car.  I chose a Highlander and it was finally available for pick up.    We signed some paperwork and I was on my way with a new 2017 Toyota Highlander!

While we were there I got a voicemail that someone else was interested in Adam and they wanted to see if I was still interested in fostering.  I called back and said we could come over now to let them know.

Morry and I went to Austin Pets Alive and played with Adam a little bit.  He was very hyper but seemed sweet.  We could not bring him home yet since he still needed an exam and shots, as well as a meet and greet with Lizzy.  They said they'd call us in a couple of hours when he was ready.

We were home for just a minute or so and then walked to pick up Noah.  

Evan got home a little after 4pm.

Around 5pm we found out Adam was ready.

We piled everyone in the car and headed over there.  Lizzy and Adam met. Although he was jumping on her a lot, he seemed to be learning not to do so.  So, we decided to bring him home.

On the way home we got more dog food at Petco and then picked up dinner at Mi Con Bistro.

Around 8:30 Morry left to pick up Marilyn from the airport.

This morning, Adam started whining around 8:30.  He did well throughout the night.

We took both dogs for a walk.

For lunch, we went to Kerbey Lane.

After lunch, Morry, Evan, Noah, and Marilyn went to the mall so that she could buy the boys some things.

A friend of mine came over this afternoon so her dog and Adam could play together.  They played nicely and wore each other out.

For dinner, we went to Via 313.

We took another walk when we got back with both dogs.

Now, everyone is getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures from the last few days.
