Foster moms.. how'd ya know they're keepers?

[GILL]

Well Precious was to be our frist FOSTER, right moosmom, BUT she couldn't go when she was supposed to and now. Take my right arm it would be easyer. I can see Dobe and Egypt going the same way. I love failing at something.

I guess when they *wander onto* the Ranch,
then *wander into* the House ...

and then don't leave ...

You start to get the hint that they may be staying for a while.

Then there's that First Trip to the White Coat --- and YOUR Name is
already filled in on the blank chart and the Rabies certificate.

Even the "Loaners" that move in for few days or weeks whilst the Family
goes off on a vacation are made to feel *welcome* by the resident tribe -
the attitude of "There's always room for a few more" seems to prevail.

How do I know?
I don't think I ever really had a *choice*!
