I was at this home for about a week, waiting for my Blind Dog Rescue foster mom to drive over the Blue Ridge Mountains to pick me up.  I look like I could be related to all the dogs on this bed, don't I?  I got along with these dogs just fine, and I get along pretty well with other dogs too.  The only dogs I find annoying are dogs that don't see too well who bump into me. I don't see very well either, and you would think I would understand, but I just don't. And I have some pain, and so it not only surprises me but it hurts me when suddenly they bump into me. There are two dogs in my fos
