Foster Failure

I just recently became aware of this term.  Thanks to FWFP I was a foster parent, sadly only briefly; then one day this little face came into my life and I was a goner!   I've had many wonderful dogs throughout my life, but for some reason, this little guy holds a very special place in my heart.  

I recently posed this question on FB, not expecting any one answer, one reply stuck with me, " it's because he was vulnerable and nearly destroyed and you saved him!!!"  

Well, I'm starting to think he saved me.  Our family dynamic has not been the same since he came into our lives -- and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Please join me in welcoming our new addition... Yuchie, a Chihuahua mix with the attitude of a Schnauzer! 

A Foster Story

As a lifetime pet parent I always thought I knew everything there was to know about out "best friends", it took my two schnauzers to remind me that I don't know everything... and thanks to them, I'm still learning....

Thanks to Friends with Four Paws, I've had the pleasure of fostering three dogs to date, Yuchie is my third and he's been with us for a little over two months.  I've been responsible for his daily care, but it has been Nellie & Calvert who have done the training.  This little guy has blossomed since he's been here; Calvert has taught him to share and play and Nellie... well, she's taught him a thing or two about boundaries.

Sights I never thought I'd see:

Yuchie exposing his belly....

 

Sharing a toy...

Sharing some zzzzzz

 If you've ever considered fostering 

please give FWFP or your local animal rescue a try. 

Happy New Year to all

With Love

Nellie, Calvert, Yuchie
