*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 24, 2009 ~

LOL, excluding the overnights we do from time to time, this will be the 2nd set of puppies, we have fostered in the last 10 weeks. We had one singleton in between. Usually a 7-10 day foster, to get them out from wherever, get some socializing in, and help out the rescue situation. I have had so many dogs in my house that my cats really don't care too much. And, since these are normally young puppies, it isn't an issue. (I do keep the adult dogs separated, in the basement, for the overnights). These little guys live upstairs with the herd. The last little girl we had was eating out of her food bowl, with Arizona drinking out of the water bowl 2 inches away, by the 2 or 3rd day.

It is fun, a lot of work, and I am always emotional when they leave. I encourage everyone to help out with fostering when they can!

And WHERE, pray tell, are our Pictures?
:confused:

Well, I'm glad you are helping out with the pups but it would have been nice to have Jonah here with Jasmine and Dominic. They had such fun last year!
And that Jonah is such a sweetie! You will both be missed!

Any chance one of these fosters might be a failure someday? And I second Phred's where are the pictures? You are holding out on us!

miss helena won't be coming with me, sunday is visiting day, so she and her mom will spend the day together....cancel that....miss helena, is coming.

we'll have a box of milky bones too, small size:cool:

I want to see foster puppies! Lol

Sasha and I will definilty be joining again this year!! I told her that she was going to be reunited with Simba and she is very excited!!! :) And we will be bringing along 2 new additions to the Clan, my boyfriends dogs, Chopper and Dozer! :)

Drive SAFE!

Hmmm ... All the way from New Joisey ...
They otta be in the running for the "Longest Distance Traveled" award. ;)

Yay I'm so excited. :) It's tomorrow! :)

Please cross you paws in Prayer for Diana's (4 Dog Mother's) DAD -
he's been hospitalized with heart and kidney problems -
and they're not getting better. :(

:love: & {{{Hugs}}} for Diana and the entire Family

We will be stopping by after church for only a short time and Gabbie will be staying in the car. We'll probably pull up in front of shelter and leave the car door open for her to see. Unfortunately we have gone from stumbling Wed. to total rear-end failure in 2 days. Today we seem to have stabilized, so hopefully tomorrow will also stay about the same.
