18. I came to my senses over night.

After talking with the foster mom, it was clear to me that Penny is right where she belongs, with doggy and kitty sibs, and a big backyard.

And when I started thinking about bringing a dog used to being in a one pet household home--which would be a much better fit for the dog--I realized that I am not fully committed to the changes I would need to make to change my living alone lifestyle.

So instead of driving an hour to meet the shelter dog this morning, I cancelled the appointment, went for a walk under the street lights and stars, will go to the grocery store and the library, water my newly planted trees, and do laundry today.
