[Dailydrool] Cleo

I just posted the hounds' drool for Bugsey. As I signed it, I realized I 
had not told the Drool about our new foster, Cleo.

Cleo is a very sweet ten-year-old whose human mama got extremely ill and 
could not take care of Cleo and her brothers. The hounds came back to 
rescue. We are so thankful that people made it possible for her to get 
back to Tri-State, though the mom had moved to another state.

When you are whisked out of your home like that and your brothers 
disappear to other foster families, it's likely to make you a bit 
nervous, and when someone (not her former family, though) obviously was 
not so nice to you, it's not surprising that it would take you a while 
to feel secure. We are working with Cleo to make her feel at home. She 
loves lying on the couch with humans, and her tail never stops wagging.
Cleo has been used to having a fenced backyard she could access whenever 
she felt the need. This business of letting the foster mom know when she 
needs to go--especially when mom is busy--has been a challenge. This 
small and adorable girl would appreciate some drool for her pottying 
situation. The mom is sure it's just a matter of getting the hang of it, 
but that's harder when you are a bit insecure. Mom is looking for any 
advice to help with make the transition a bit easier.

While the next-door neighbor has deemed Cleo "a keeper" (for us, not 
him, sadly), we are not sure that's going to happen. What we do know is 
that she will be loved for the rest of her life.
