Thanks, NRG!
I met her last night and she is a total sweetheart. She also appears to be VERY laid back. I am a little concerned that I'm seeing the tired, worn-out version of her because the puppies are just 4 weeks old and she had been nursing them, etc., until last week. She refused after that because they were scratching and biting her and she just got too sore. So now they're trying to dry up her milk and she's on less food than usual.
They said I could foster-to-adopt, which means I could bring her home for a couple of weeks and see how we both adjust. She has had such a hard life that I want to make sure this is a good home for her.
I'll have a day off next week, so I may also see if I can bring her for an overnight visit.
It's a big decision and very difficult to make when I'm still battling some depression and thyroid-related stuff.
