Cherry Bomb

Cherry Bomb went to her forever home with the Niedziela family in Michigan. Her parents haven’t figured out what they are going to name her yet, but fell hook, line and sinker the minute the van door opened. They live on 13 acres and have an orchard that Terry mows a path around during the summer and plows in the winter for ‘pack walks’. They are in the process of putting in a pond, for the dogs. (Anyone else know a place that does pack walks and has a pond?)

CB has a 10 year old Bullmastiff sister named Bella, who is super sweet. She stuck her head in CB’s ‘go bag’, grabbed her stuffed duck and brought it over to her new sister to play. She also has a 9 year old Neo sister named Maddie who was keeping a watchful eye over the going ons and making sure everything was just so. Then there is Astro, her new 2 year old DDB brother. He is looking for a partner in crime and CB will happy to oblige once she gets used to her new normal. They were playing a very gentle game of tug o’duck just before I left. Pictures and videos were promised for the Happy Tails page.

CB, I’m am so happy that we were chosen to foster your ridiculousness. You are truly a one of a kind girl and our family wishes you all the happiness. Have a fantastic life Baby Girl.

There are many behind the scenes people up north that enable fostering in Chicago to be a ‘thing’ – mainly helping socialize and transporting. I’d like to throw a special thanks out to Christine Tipes for being today’s copilot, navigator and witty conversationalist on our 7 hour roadtrip. Wasn’t her first and won’t be her last. Thanks Tipes!
