This shopkeeper was tired of thugs breaking into his shop so he came up with this idea.

Paddy the Puppy Day 2

I learned a very valuable bit of info today. I've always known that a tired puppy is a good puppy. Today, I figured out a sure-fire way to tire that puppy out. I introduced Paddy to Cal last night. They played non-stop for a couple of hours in the back yard. Today, I introduced Paddy to Paige, my 10 y/o greyhound. Paddy was play bouncing at her, yapping at her, etc which of course, totally charged Paige up. All at once, Paige took off to run "The Riley Stakes" and little Paddy was right with her--for about 30 feet . Paige ran 4 or 5 laps with Paddy in pursuit--but, Paddy's laps kept getting smaller and smaller. He finally walked over next to me, gave me this look like, "Holy cow! What's up with that dog?" and proceeded to collapse! It was hilarious. We came back in the house, Paddy guzzled some water and walked right into his crate. He's been in there for the last hour, sometimes chewing on a hoof, but otherwise snoozing!
Tomorrow, he meets Rebel, my grumpy-old-man 12 y/o greyhound. Then, we'll figure out how/when he'll meet Beadoe. They can see each other through the babygates and they haven't had any words today, so I'm keeping all paws crossed.
I don't know how in the world I'm going to get any work done this week. I'm having WAY too much fun playing with the doggies.

And, BTW, Paige is also completely comatose!

Parker's gone and done it this time....

...he went and found a perfectly good forever home!

It is with tears of joy and and sadness that I write these words. I've spent the evening packing up his bags, gather directions, and generally getting ready for the big drive tomorrow afternoon. A wonderful family from NJ is very excited to adopt Parker and make him a big part of their family. It looks like a fabulous match and I am so excited for them.

I'm so very sad that he is leaving our home....he has spent 9 weeks with us. The first month was very rough, but the second was this amazing growth and development of Parker and his relationship with me and our family here.

This is what fostering is all about though: rescuing and saving these dogs from near death, the horrors of the mills, neglect, etc. and rehabilitating them, loving them, and providing a future and a hope with a family that loves and cares for them. As a foster home, we are but one piece in each dog's puzzle. And the hardest, most painful moment for the foster parent is the moment everyone in the rescue works towards. We work towards the day when each dog is adopted into their forever home. It hurts when the dog takes a part of my heart with him, but knowing that we took care of him when he needed it most is worth it all.

I love you Parker. Take care as your chapter with us closes. Tomorrow is where your story really begins.....

Foster Baby Maggie

Here's Maggie's story:

"Maggie-6 mo puppy, spayed, UTD, crate trained and housebroken. Loves everyone, especially children. Good with other dogs. Owner has 3 small children and is facing brain surgery. She's not sure what she will be able to handle after that and wants to see that Maggie is taken care of while she is able to."

And here's what her foster mother Jessica says about her:

"Hi Everyone-

Just wanted to let you all know Maggie is doing great- she is adjusting well and loves having a sister to play with. They have been chasing each other around and playing almost nonstop. I have attached a few pictures. I will send another update soon :)

Thanks,
Jes "
