The first time I met FCAR co-founder, Yvette, she was dropping off my first puppy foster. I open the door she came barreling in my house saying "Where's your sink? This puppy just pooped all over my floorboard and it's all over my hands!" She got cleaned up properly and went back to get the puppy. I went back with her to get something out of her car and she accidentally hit me in the head with the car door. Somehow they convinced me to keep coming back ;)
