I did my first home visit, now I have questions

I don't mind cluttered, or small or dirty dishes it was the stacks and stacks of crap all over the house that bugged me and no I would not leave my pugs there for a second. The adoption coordinator asked me to contact the girl who is fostering to see if she is able to bring Frank out there, she will be a better judge at this than I am so we will see what happens. Why could this have not been an easy one, hopefully my next one will be.

That would be the decider for me. If I wouldn't let her pet-sit Penny, it would be no pug for you!

BTW, you fireman droolers - did you know that I'm a retired firefighter? And so was my ex? Trust me, not all are drool-worthy.

Nancy a retired firefighter? Who knew? I learn something new every day on this board.

While I certainly can't speak about your ex...I can say this:

Nancy, you are totally drool worthy!

I belong to a forum for the 'Clean House' show. Do you know if a house isn't 'cluttered' enough for the cameras, they throw stuff around the floors? A lot of the mess can be planted before the show's cameras start rolling. So if something started out in a box, doesn't mean it stayed in that box before the show took over. *LOL*

ya know I always had my suspions about that show, there are houses that if social service ever came in the kids would be sent off to fosters homes. I know some people aren't tidy but the people on that show go beyond not tidy. Anything for the camera!
