New Fosters Abbott and Emma

Last Tuesday I picked up my first foster pups, Abbott & Emma.  We've had a whirlwind of a week, but we're all starting to settle in to our new normal.

Abbott is a 7 year old Boston Terrier - he has severe allergies which turned into a pretty bad skin infection.  So we're working on getting that under control.  But he's super affectionate and has such a sweet face.

Emma is a 7 year old Puggle, who also has pretty bad allergies.  We call her the Pokey Little Puppy because she does everything at a very slow pace....   We're starting to get her constant scratching and chewing herself under control and we're doing short walks to get her into shape (even though Abbott ends up pulling her along most of the walk). 

They've already gotten used to our schedule - getting up a little before the alarm (we're going to have to work on getting a few "snoozes" in!) and going to their leashes when it's time for their regular walks.  They even seem to know bed time already.  It's amazing how quickly they adjust.  They've already brought light into our home and I think once they're ready they'll be a great addition to a forever family!

I really would like to keep them together - they've been together their whole lives.  Abbott might be okay on his own but Emma goes nuts whenever she can't find Abbott!

Deanna, it sounds as if you are a natural at fostering.  Thanks for fostering them. It takes a special person to foster :-)
