Easy Keeper

I think if one were to categorize foster dogs they would be ranked as follows.  


1.  Spooky aka possessed.
2.  Shy and/or timid - aka Sophie and Sidney, for example.
3.  Starvin Marvins - Pete, Kobe, Layla (think skeletor), dog who need
     some groceries.
4.  Cute as a button - anything under 4 months
5.  Irresistible- generally leads to a foster failure (sometimes stunning in 
     appearance, or a face only a mother could love.    
6.  Easy Keepers - all around good pups with no pronounced issues. 


Some you race to their forever home and wave a hasty good bye, other's you can barely drag yourself away from.  Some you just never let go.   Bailey is definitely an easy keeper.  Her new family is getting a gem of a pup. She has fit in with us so well.  Layla will surely miss her.  Mick, not so much.  He is a bit of an old fart and will only play with Layla.  We'll miss her because she keeps Layla occupied.


Of all the dogs Layla is the most outside oriented.  I swear the other day she asked for kibble to be served outside.  She'd rather be there than anywhere.  No matter how hot it is she is a happy camper.  Although at night she does enjoy the comfort of the master bed.


I hope that if I was classified I'd be an easy keeper too.  Wish we could all be that way.
