I title this entry "The Best Fiends in the WORLD" for one reason...THEY ARE!! Who, you might ask? Ben & Emily!! Over the past few weeks we have been looking for a foster home for our boxer, Bailey. We had decided that this trip would not be the best thing for her a long time ago. That was not up for negotiation. But, the fast approaching deadlines have made this decision an unpleasant reality. Finding a foster home has proved to be very difficult and until now, unsuccessful. As of Monday afternoon we thought the best thing to do would be to place an ad on CraigsList for our baby girl. Only this time the advertisement read "Free to Good Home." OUCH!!!

We had a flood of interested people, that was the good part. The bad part was that it tore a boxer-sized hole in our hearts! So we endured a few days of moping around, random tears, and all around droopy-ness. UNTIL...(you have to know what comes next because of the title) our GREAT FRIENDS Ben & Emily came to the rescue!!

They have offered to keep Bailey for as long as we need!! Not only that, they are going to give her back to us when we return!! I cannot tell you how much this lifts our spirits. We have no children except for this dog and she is so special to us. Just knowing that she will be in their friendly care sets us at ease.

So, just in case you did not know the definition of "The Best Friends in the World," that is it.
