alee_grrlI am utterly exhausted and headed to bed soon. But wanted to post a quick update. Not only did we have the home visit and it go very well, but we were actually able to meet up with Zena's foster mom and pick Zena up today.
We may end up renaming her Zoey, she has mostly been called Z, which is a good nickname anyway. Poor thing was terribly shy and nervous at first, but did way better with greeting us and letting us pet and walk her than her foster mom expected. She is very loving and sweet despite being scared by all the change. We will need to beef up her toys with more kongs and harder to destroy toys as she already destroyed a couple of the softer toys and stuffies. All non-dog toy stuffed animals have been moved to higher locations just to be on the safe side too. She will need some training and work on leash walking, but that is doable. I think once we all settle into a routine she is going to be a very good fit for the household.
