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.
