‘Thought the dog lovers among you would like to know what’s happening with my daughter’s adoption of a senior dog. After she learned that Paycheck, the 16-year-old American Staffordshire, had passed away, Adair learned that this lady, pictured right, was in need of a home. Her name is China and she’s somewhere between “thirteen and eighteen,” according to the shelter, but I rather doubt that she’s eighteen since I recently read that the world’s oldest dog was twenty-one. China’s former human was an elderly woman who died and whose son brought her in to be euthanized (pets need to be in the will!), but a shelter employee got her into the foster system. 

China is shy and doesn’t like to eat around strangers, so there will be trial visits to see if they can get her to eat. In the meantime, Adair and Nick are psyching  up for their first small dog. I’m falling in love already….
