South of Sunnyside

When Kim brings home a new dog, it’s usually one she finds on the street, and she either tracks down the owner or hands it over to a shelter within a day or two. Maggie, however, came from a shelter.

Kim promised me we’d be foster parents for only two weeks. That was over four months ago.

This week, I discovered that the City of Fresno only allows four pets per single-family household. Maggie puts us at four, so we’re in the clear of potential violations, but I’m afraid Kim’s becoming too attached.

Kim’s also wanting a baby, so eventually we need to make room for one more. That’s a good reason for you to adopt Maggie, right?

In case you need more:

• She’s darn cute.
• She burps (but in the cute, abnormal way).
• At under 35 pounds, she’s portable.
• You won’t find a sweeter, smarter dog¹

¹I’m not kidding. Maggie has been accepted by all three of our dogs—including Darla, our alpha. She has never growled, barked or bitten, and would love nothing more than to curl in a ball in front of someone. (That someone could be you…)
