Flights to and from Chicago are apparently having issues due to storms, so rather than going from Toronto to Chicago to Orange County, Jeff is coming in at LAX.

Maddie is going to a dance tonight, so I had to find a ride home for her.

Emma and I are off, driving to LA, then we will go pick up Jeff's car. Fun, fun, fun.

It's been a day for you, hasn't it?

Tomorrow has to be better. I'm glad Jeff's getting home. I guess it could have been worse and he could have been delayed even longer.

Drive safely.

We are back from the airport.

Jeff and Emma are playing Guitar Hero.

Maddie is at a dance.

Tomorrow we turn in our Adoption Application.

I am going to sleep.

Does this mean doggietime?

They have to decide if we are a suitable home for a Greyhound. I had to provide references and fill out an application.

They gave me a two page application, so I retyped it, because I didn't want to write my answers in longhand, and the completed product is now six pages long.

I included photos of my other animals, our backyard and my family. (I was tempted to include the Simpsons group pictures, but decided not to.)

I would think the time you and the girls have put in as cuddlers makes this a slam-dunk decision!

How long does the process take? And, do you already have a candidate in mind?

Will you adopt one of your friends you've been cuddling with?

There is one dog that I would take home today if they let me. I haven't known him as long as Xamine, but I make an effort to take him out every week because he's shy and goes crazy sitting in his cage and we have grown closer each week. Emma and I have even taught him to climb the stairs. He likes me a lot, is fond of the girls and he is one of the dogs that I had Jeff meet when we went to visit, just in case Xamine wasn't available to us.

From what I understand, after they read my application, they will give me a choice of dogs that would fit with my famlly.

He he is among the group, he would be my first choice. We have have to get to know any of the other dogs that were offered to us before I made a decision.

We want photos of this young gentleman!

(I'm posting this on behalf of Annie. She's too much of a lady to beg.)

Yep, I think you'll get several letters of recommendation from the greyhounds you've befriended.

Along with cries of "Pick me! Pick me!"
