We are sort of in a holding pattern on fostering. Sophie is in her last month with us. Technically, she's not really a foster, she's just boarding with us. No fosters waiting in the wings, but that can always change. I am always one breath away from succumbing to the charm of another dog. I like it that way.
It probably makes Reno nervous as all get out. Knowing at any time, I could say "honey - there is a dog who needs us". It could be worse, I could say "honey, there is a litter of puppies who needs us". Frankly, I'd be scared he would say yes to that. Honestly, he'd say yes in a heartbeat to that!
We had the challenge of trying to walk two 4 month old English Pointer puppies yesterday who are in foster care with Great Plains Pointer Rescue. Thankfully, we were trying this as a team. Blessedly we were armed with paper towels and poop bags. Patiently we encouraged them. Hysterically we laughed at them as they wrestled/romped/rolled/lunged and peed through walk. And yes, we fell in love with them when they just plopped down on the pavement to rest. Sleeping puppies are the best.
Sometimes life gives us time for a pause. Time to rest, play, relish the moment, prepare for the future. When paws pause - it's even better.
Life with dogs. A little humor, a dash of play, a seed of faith, and of course, some dog fur.
