Skunk Happens


Today we met another social worker.   She will be guiding us through the specific guidelines required for Korean adoption.  Lucky for us, she is just as friendly and sweet as our first social worker.  For several days I have been cleaning and organizing trying to prepare for her visit.  The day before her arrival, our phone conversation went something like this:

      S.W.:  "Hi, Tina!  I am looking forward to meeting you and    
                  your family tomorrow morning."


      Tina:  "Hi!  Yes, we are anxious to meet you, too.  But there's 
                  something I need to tell you."


     S.W.:  "Yes, what is it?"


     Tina:  "Our house smells like SKUNK!  Sandie, our Golden
                Retriever, was sprayed three days ago.   The skunk
                smell is very strong when first entering our house.
                Not a good way to begin a home study, I know..."


      S.W.: "That's okay!  I have a head cold and have a hard time       
                smelling anything!"


Lucky for us, our new friend LOVES dogs.  We had nothing to worry about and our visit was delightful!   ~Tina~
