We have decided to stop deluding ourselves that Mac and Ozzy are foster dogs. As of today, they are officially permanent members of the Wandering Spirits family!
Happy Mac running the fence line looking for a way out.
Ozzy learning to skijor!
In eight months we've had very little interst in them. There isn't much demand for dogs that must go together, are very timid, make alot of noise, escape at will, and one who bites when he's cornered! One guy seemed really nice and I'm sure he would be a good dog owner. But he lives in a subdivision where fences can only be four feet high! Well, that wouldn't even slow Mac down. Mac associates being tied up with being in trouble and being hurt. He cowers and shakes at the sight of a chain. Clearly, he can't go to a home where he would have to be chained up! The other couple who called never came out to see them after I told them Mac has a bite history. They have a young child and Mac would not have been a good fit for them.
Ozzy has decided that I am the greatest thing since MilkBones. I have great difficulty walking around the yard lately as Ozzy has started to match my stride in order to keep his head pressed against my thigh! I'm sure that with enough time Ozzy would bond to someone else, but I'm not sure I could look in those big brown eyes and break his heart, even short term.
Plus they are both turning into fine sled dogs, despite the concerns of the musher who bred them.
Welcome to the pack, boys!

Oh my, another foster flunky!
Congrats on the great new additions to the family. They knew they were home, sometimes it just takes us humans a little longer to figure things out.
Good luck, I know they are getting a good home! With many more pranks from Mac, he's sure to keep you entertained!
