My hopes are waning, Merry. Our adoption committee has doubts about
her stability and are doing more evaluation. I never contest them (nor
the people who do intake), They may make mistakes, but I couldn't do
their job. Nobody would be good enough, and, as for intake .... how the
hell do you stay pleasant with somebody who's dumping an animal? But,
if you don't, more people would dump them on the street.

I will be so happy when Hilde gets a
good home. As of course I know you will
be too. There is a good home for her out
there somewhere.
Merry

Because Hilde is old (though fairly sound), the committee is concerned
about the woman's financial situation, among other things. I'm hoping
they offer her a 'medical foster', in which we pay for maintenance and
vet bills (and can reclaim the dog if something goes wrong). Our pricey
behaviorist will supervise the introduction to the woman's cat. I'll
make sure Hilde is ready to make hospital visits.
You gotta admit -- that's a helluva deal.
