We got another call! This time, the baby isn't born yet, and they don't know if it is a boy or a girl...the due date is the 14th!! The birthmom has 3 children already, and is supporting her mom and younger brother, and doesn't think she can handle parenting a fourth child. The birthfather isn't in the picture, but knows about and supports her adoption plan. The one main downside is that she prefers a black couple to parent, but there is a shortage of black couples in the adoption world, so she is being given our profile as a good match. We found out about this on Thursday, and she doesn't get any of the profiles until this coming Tuesday the 11th, so we won't know anything until about a week from then at the earliest.

In other news, I have been asked to serve on a committee that is working on changing legislation in IL regarding puppy mills and backyard breeders. It is in the beginning stages, so I don't know much more than that, but I am really excited to get started. I am very passionate about dog and cat rescue, and I hope that we can change this industry for good. On that note, PetCo has Santa pictures with your pet every Saturday from 11 - 4. The cost is $6.95, and $5.00 of that goes to animal rescue. This is Lucy's picture from yesterday:

Santa didn't seem stoned when we were there, but he sure looks like it in this picture! it took many treats before we got this pose, and we were much more interested in what she looked like than what Santa looked like.
