Last week I saw an ad on Craigslist for a dachshund. The guy said his landlord wouldn't let him bring the dog inside and he would be outside this winter in Iowa if he couldn't find a new home. I simply could not keep quiet and when I told my SO about it, his first reaction was call the guy. I called and talked to him, got some of the story and to make a long story short, Dick drove an hour the next morning to pick up Shamus (yeah, I know nice Irish name for a German dog). We were going to foster him until we found him a new loving home. Well, we've had him in the house for almost a week and we are officially "foster failures". We now have 3 dachshunds, a bichon and a yorkie. We are completely crazy.

How could someone give up such a WONDERFUL dog is beyond me. I would have found a home that would let me keep my dog - I'd have slept in my car with the dog. I'll never leave my dogs.
