7 years ago I became a foster mom to an 8 year old little Sheltie in need. The plan was to nurse him back to health so he could be placed in a loving home. As Spencer settled in with us and his health improved, I was too attached to let him go. Then he found his voice, and WOW what a voice it was. He barked like a seal! How that much volume could come out of that little guy didn’t make sense at all.
