Over the weekend, Junior, the handsome, all-black tough-charactered female, reunited with members of her past foster family. The fosters who took her in for three months or so, before she was entrusted into the care of a supposedly permanent home that later abandoned her.
A bittersweet reunion. Joyous was the occasion of meeting each other after a few years -- she still remembers the sights and scents of those whom she greeted every morning with a happy wagging tail. Those who took her out for walks and a grandmother who lavished her with meat and snacks.

Walking by a leash, our girl was a wonderful company as her ex-fosters shuffled through the aisles of a petshop and gave her bits of treats. Deja vu... scenarios from the yesteryears of fosterhood.
In a way, everyone, including Junior, has mellowed with age. And although Junior's bositerous side is still obvious, we can tell, with maturity, she's turned more patient and gentler. In subtle ways to the observers of her growth.

And when the fosters got into their car and drove away, our girl quietly turned and walked back to the inside of the shelter, with the silent knowledge that this is but a visit. They're not taking her back home -- a home where she feels she belongs to.

Is she choco's sister? I hope she ll really find a perm home...choco is sooo sweet , I am sure Shadow is too
ChoCho and Jr are from different packs. Chocho's under a yr old while Jr is 3-4 yrs, based on estimation.
Shadow and Jr were born from the same pack. We do hope Junior (and Ginne) are adopted to a good home. Still holding on to this hope.
Hey V, clarifying KZ's comment. Yup, Junior is your Chocolate's sister. I'm sure she is doing great with you. Will hold our hopes high for Junior for her own home soon. Preferably with Ginne as she and Ginne are used to each other around. Shadow is doing well with her forever family now. With 2 canine buddies at home. Mellowed down quite abit too. I can still remember vivid visions of all of them as pups fostered at your place!
Ahhh... I thought you meant the other "Chocho". Sorry!
KZ
