My friend fosters kittens and says that love isn’t meant to be hoarded — Scruff has a bright future ahead and he’s so lucky to have crossed paths with you!
I love this story so much! And while I was originally a one-dog girl, I am now happy to sell you and Ian on the benefits of being a four-dog family, especially for running ;)
Running with four dogs is amazing! I'm so impressed that you manage that much dog while running. But I truly love that you went from 1 -> 4. I'll send Ian your way ;)
My husband and I have a game we like to play where I send him pictures of dogs in local animal shelters and he tells me the only way we can get a second dog is if it doesn't poop. 😂 Occasionally he will give in and go pick the dog up for us to foster for a little bit.
That's hilarious! This whole thing made me simultaneously want to foster ALL of the dogs and also feel like I'm not emotionally strong enough to foster because I would always want to keep them forever.
Loved reading about Finley. <3 And love the Vermont connection! I'll actually be doing an event in Burlington (at the marathon) in a couple of weeks. I'm so excited for some Green Mountain time!
I also haven’t gone beyond one dog because I feel like the slope between 2 and 5 could be dangerous and maybe more life changing than my current season would allow, haha! I’m so glad Scruff found you and your magic when he did ❤️
It does feel like a very, very slippery slope! But, I hope at some point in my life, I get to be a dogs plural person. I'm so glad I found Scruff and his magic when I did! ❤️
This story is made me smile...It reminded me of an anatomy story about Brutus which also tickled me....Scruff and Brutus have introduced you to some great writing material....I love it !

I love your friend's wisdom. And yes, Scruff does have a very bright future! And I feel so lucky I got to cross paths with him. ❤️

That paw hook on your hand made my heart explode. Thank you for sharing this sweet little bit of magic. Scruff is so lucky he crossed paths with you!

Has anything ever been created or invented that's more perfect than the love of an enthusiastic dog? Methinks no. Thanks for sharing, Emily.
Dog love is a most incredible kind of love and I never want to live without it again! Thanks for reading, Jim.
