Sweetheart

So our foster, Mindy has a date with a potential adopter tomorrow evening. And so the fostering process continues. Nothing is for sure of course and tomorrow is just a first step.

Not sure how I feel about all of it. We love this girl and we think she likes it here with us. She fits in so nicely here. At the same time I know she will be a great addition to a family in search of a dog that loves to snuggle, loves to run, loves to chew her bone and loves to fetch. She is a sweetheart.

Sweetheart. That's been my word I've used describe her since we rescued her. BossMan's phrase to describe her has simply been "good girl", which is perfect. She really is both of those.

BossMan and I are sitting on the couch right now with Bruce and Mindy, watching The Wonder Years on Netflix (our favorite right now) and I think about how these two pups get along and even how their names fit together so perfectly. I think about how hard they play and how peacefully they snuggle (whether Bruce wants to or not). I'm a sap and I'm pathetic, I know.

Yep, I'm going to have a hard time with this but this is our gift. We saved an amazing dog. We did a good thing. And now we can give this gift to a person looking for a dog like Mindy. A sweetheart. A good girl.

Charlie Girl

Well it's been a year and a half since my last post. Yep, I suck! Well we've started fostering again. Our most recent foster, Charlie blessed us with her amazing, silly, smart, loving presence back in the beginning of May. She was with us for about a month and a half and was scooped up by a great family that will take her on lots of hikes and lots of learning. I couldn't be more proud of her and all she has learned in the month and a half that she was in our home. She learned good manners and learned how to play with her foster brothers. She learned how nice snuggles are and mastered that snuggling ability to a professional level. Very proud. She kind of is perfect and got boss man and I on back on the right foot to start back up with our fostering adventure. As usual it was hard to let her go but so happy to see her find her forever home! Helping boss man in the garage. She and boss man definitely bonded a great deal.

A Year Ago

A year ago today Bruce was picked up and taken to San Jose Animal Care Center. A year ago today BossMan and I were planning our wedding, buying a house and getting ready to start this new journey together. We had no idea that Bruce would be a part of it all. I can't imagine what was going through Bruce's head that day a year ago but I'm sure glad everything ended up the way it did. We sure love our boy.

Louie

Introducing our new foster, Louie! Louie is a Papillon (yes a small dog). I've never had a small dog in my midst. I have to admit it was shocking to be carrying around a dog or having a dog in the house that can actually REALLY fit on my lap. By all means we accept the fact the Bruce thinks he is a lap dog but we know he isn't. We just let him think it. He isn't up for adoption yet as he is recovering from hip surgery right now. He is an absolute sweet heart who loves to snuggle, hates his crate and his e-collar, and enjoys laying in the sun. I'm really enjoying my time with him and it's kind of nice to know he's not leaving at any random moment. Bruce and Louie get along marvelously and Louie really likes snuggling with his bigger foster bro. Here are some recent pictures of our tired little boy after he decided to shred apart his e-collar (he REALLY REALLY REALLY didn't like that stupid cone!)
