Snort! Snort!
Let me start by apologizing that it’s been so long since I’ve posted. We had a string of “difficult” foster dogs (for various reasons) and then took a little break. Bill has earned his nickname “Ole’ Grumpy Bill” by either completely ignoring or snapping at all the recent male foster dogs we’ve had, so we’ve [...]
Foster Dog #40: Duke
I can’t believe we’re already at foster dog #40. We’ve been fostering for about three years, so I guess we average helping a little more than one foster dog a month find a new home. I don’t usually see fostering as difficult, but lately we’ve had a string of dog-aggressive dogs, and for our lifestyle, [...]

She’s only about 14 pounds – being a puppy mill breeder must have just been awful for her. (Honestly, who wouldn’t life in a chicken-wire cage be awful for, though?) Oh, and by the way, she needed an eye removed because of an unattended injury.

Other times the parting is much easier because a)I found the dog annoying for whatever reason, c) Bill and the dog didn’t [...]
In the Nick of Time
Oh my has it been a week! Lovely Layla was adopted by a single mom with a six-year-old. She loves children so it was a good fit. The only concern is that she wasn’t a fan of pottying on a leash, and her new family doesn’t have much of a yard. Nevertheless, I hear she’s [...]
