The foster pups feel like they come a bit slower than they did the first year or so, but that's okay because life is busy and the ones we've been getting have been some pretty great pups! So get ready for some cuteness overload!
1st up we have Mr Pluto, who was special enough to get to stay a part of the Keyser crew as my brother and sister in law kept him! He was probably one of the sickest pups we ever had, it is not uncommon for a pup to show up with some tummy troubles (the not so fun part of fostering) but his took a turn really fast and he became a very very sick little pup who needed some urgent medical care. Fortunately a couple days at the vet and he was good to go to his new family! But he certainly adored all the kids before he got sick.
Next up was my first experience with a heeler. I am surprised with how many of these guys the rescue had that I had never fostered one before but she sure was a very very sweet little girl!
She had never been away from her litter before and wasn't easy to settle but between the kids and a stuffed toy we made due.
And another girl that was a pretty pup but not one we photographed much, mainly because she was just too darn busy.
And then my first schnauzer mix. If you know anything about me, you know I love myself a schnauzer so the fact that this one didn't end up staying is nothing short of a miracle. But I sure did enjoy her for a week!
Only the really special pups even get to touch the bed, but don't worry, all our foster do end up sleeping in the kennel to build some good habits ;) But it is also quite the sign of our affection for this pup in that Peter LET her stay on the bed for any amount of time!
And then there was Pineapple, oh sweet little Pineapple. Another pup we are quite fond of is the chihuahuas and this one was a special one. So tiny and cute! Again, nothing short of a miracle that we took her back, because I didn't want to! I mean, her most favorite place to snuggle was right under you neck and she was so tiny she fit right there on your shoulder too! We were lucky she was a very short term 3 day foster because if she had spent much more time at all with us, it probably would have destroyed my heart to even try and send her back.
All that to say, we are 65 foster pups in, and we haven't kept one yet! It has been fun and I'm always eager for the next email or message letting me know some more pups are on the way!
