Dear Ms.Laura -Foster Mom Deb and I had a long talk over breakfast this AM. She described the plan to me and although I know APRA would make sure I was well-situated, I made the following considered, appropriate and reasonable points to her (in random order):
1 – Whereas I know I would thoroughly enjoy beautiful New England walks, it is quite frigid up there and I think I’d have to wear clothes year-round. But, I like being naked sometimes!So, this is a better climate for me.
2 – We have developed very enjoyable routines. I was a little slow on the ‘doing business inside versus outside thing’ but, I now get it and am a good dog. And you don’t mind when I swipe one of your slippers and take it with me into the laundry basket while you shower.
3 – I don’t ruin anything when you leave me at home (well, there was that one writing pen I chewed to bits….an exception, really!) and I’m perfectly content in my crate if you decide to keep me in there.
4 – You won’t find a happier dog to ride in the car with you (except that hound Junebug you told me about….the hot rod chick).
5 – I FEEL like you understand me. Plus the old saying is true: “to know me, is to love me”. Despite best efforts on everyone’s part, I can’t help that no one else decided to get to know me. But, you know me and therefore…………..!
Then I pulled my ears back, which shows off my little nubbin head and pretty eyes…and just stared at her…waiting for her response. Well, Ms Laura, she can be rather logical and articulate sometimes but, she had no viable counterpoints. (Maybe it helped that I’m wearing my collegiate cable knit sweater today….Ivy League, mind you)
So, my new name is Cybil Busch !!! (Whew….I had to work this deal, I thought she was never going to ask)
See you soon. XXOOXOO

I am so happy that Cybil Busch has found a home. I met Cybil in person at Atlanta Pet Rescue back in October when I was looking for a dog to adopt. I check the website frequetnly to see which dogs got adopted. I hope Cybil Busch is happy as well as her owners. I wish them all the best of luck. I knew it would take a special person to take Cybil in their home and see what she has to offer.
This is the sweetest letter! I cry every time I read it. I’m sure there have been many foster parents who have felt the same way. Cybil is adorable! Sorry that we did not get the chance to meet her!
