I got a day off because I worked a few extra hours last night after my morning shift. It's been hectic. We're short-handed as it is and people keep taking off.
Ash's Gabapentin finally got her (like, the day after I complained about it not getting here). Haven't really tested it yet because I wanted to give it plenty of time to kick in. No noticeable difference in his behavior though.
Chip got adopted! Cross your fingers he doesn't come back. Lucy, a jumpy but sweet cat I fell in love with, might be coming back to us because she's "too feral." She's not feral, just skittish. And Raja was brought back too. We also had two cats who were adopted out as kittens be brought back. I didn't know they even went together, but the dad is apparently allergic after having the cats for two months. Basically brought them back right after they lost the kitten appeal. I feel so bad, especially for Dwight because he had such a hard time getting adopted to begin with.
And we have a dog who started giving birth at the shelter today! We had no idea she was pregnant! We've had her for two weeks and I've been getting notifications on this new app we have for the shelter staff/volunteers that they found a puppy in her kennel with her.
No, not surprising that Layla got adopted. I do worry a little because it's a young guy who hasn't had a dog of his own before. His family has had dogs, but he personally hasn't had one. A husky is a lot of dog even for people who are experienced, let alone a husky who hasn't had any structure or boundaries for the first few months of her life. Plus he works ten hours. He did seem like a good guy with a lot of things thought through. He had a friend who does dog trainer. I don't think he's going to be a bad dog owner or anything, but I just hope he really knows what he's gotten himself into and doesn't bring her back in a month or two even worse than she already was. I worry about all my fosters getting the right home, but especially a breed as high maintenance as a husky. She can be a really great dog or an absolute nightmare depending on how she's raised. She was a terror though. Acted a lot like the eight week old puppies I fostered, but slept less. They'd pretty much play for an hour and then sleep for an hour. She played for three hours and slept for half an hour to an hour. She tormented Stella. Very easily distracted, got bored easily. On the move pretty much constantly. Osiris was obsessed with her. He wanted to play with her, but was too big and rough. He whined almost constantly because I wouldn't let him harass her. It was a lot. She was fun, but definitely not ready for a third dog, let alone a high-energy puppy.
