Our Foster Baby

This is Brownie. Brownie was abandoned by her owner of 7 years when the economy struggled last year. She was scheduled to be euthanized last week for lack of a home.
So, she's at our home for now.
It may be a bit traumatic when she finds her forever home, because Addison has fallen in love. She had trouble sleeping last night because she was so excited. She kept saying, "I love Brownie." or "Can Brownie sleep in my bed?" or when Brownie sneezed: "Bless you, Brownie." And my favorite: "I want to make Brownie happy." And for the first time this morning, Addison said, "I don't want to go to school!" (because, of course, she wanted to stay home and play with Brownie all day.)

She's a very tiny thing, especially compared to Ranger. She's actually about the size of a large cat. I think Addison has observed what I have in that Brownie has obviously been mistreated a time or two and is very sweet, playful, and cuddly, but also a bit timid.

When Addison woke up from a "nightmare" that we are certain she faked, she was taken to our room. It soon became evident that she only wanted to see Brownie and talk about her. When we left the room to let her sleep, Brownie was curled on a pillow beside the bed. When I came back a short while later, Brownie was in the bed as well. hmm... someone must have coaxed her...
