You've got mail

I got an email from Misty's foster dog Greta. 

"Ben, it's Greta here. You met me when you and your Mom came to adopt Misty. I was the big black Lab that you didn't take home.  I've been following your blog and I'm here to offer words of encouragement. My Mom and Dad loved Misty from day one. Me? It took a bit of time. You know she told me off the first day--in my own home! (Oh, and tell Carly not to take things personally).  But things got better the longer Misty stayed. My Mom told me that Misty, and all the other fosters that we've had, weren't as lucky in life as I've been so I need to forgive Misty's transgressions and be kind. In fact I kind of wish she were back here now. The new foster we have is only 4 years old and he wants to play ALL THE TIME. I want to sleep. So hang in there Ben. Things will get better in time."

With much understanding and sympathy,

Greta'
