Well I've been gone a few months but things have been CRAZY! Humphrey got adopted, then Bailey (basset hound) came to stay with us. Then she got adopted and Sophie (chihuahua) came. Then Sophie got adopted and I took Jewel & Mimi (who was still with us after THREE months) to the lake for a few days. And just last night Mimi went for a trial stay at her possible new home. PHEW!!

Jewel's very tired after busy summer of helping dogs in need so I'm trying really hard to not put her in an upcoming OB trial. Also very tempted to find myself a poodle as a "keeper" second dog.

Pictures from the lake!

What a multi-talented girl you have.. busy caring for dogs in need AND modeling! From the photos, she looks like she's great at both

What an angel you and Jewel are helping all those dogs in need. I hope a very special poodle comes your way soon. Looking at Jewel's happy pampered face lets me know that will be one luckyoodle.

I know it's a typo, but I love the word "luckyoodle." Imma find a way to use it every day! LOL

Jewel is so cute! My other dog, besides Gracie, was a Shih Tzu mix that I took in. They are so loving and loyal. Unfortunately, I had to have my Dudley put down last Oct. Bless you for giving Jewel such a good home.

Again I've fallen behind on this! Seriously come on self, get with it!! Let me tell you guys what happened to poor little Jewel, she's ended up with a big lug of a foster dog. *sigh* She's just give give give, except when she gets mad and bites him in the face. lol

Jettsen came to us from a reservation spay/neauter clinic up North. He was found living as a stray with quills in his face and a broken leg!! There were volunteers from a lot of rescue groups volunteering up there but our group was the only one with enough funds to take on his medical bills. But our director was having trouble finding a foster home to take him, I was his LAST chance. I am two hours from our base and foster small dogs.

I have spent about 15 hours driving this dog to vet apts and missed 4 days of work. His leg had to be amputated and he had to have broken teeth pulled as well. He has been a labour of love. He's been the only one I've been tempted to keep but Jewel hates him. He is 43lbs now, he's put on more than 10lbs.

He was so shy and scared when he got here but he has blossomed. My mom almost cried when she saw the way he hunched over for my dad, like he expected to get hit and was just going to take it. Now he wags his tail at men.

Now on to the pictures!!

Pre-surgery - Jettsen





This is Miley I had her a couple weeks but it was too much so I asked them to move her. The vet said she was going through a false pregnancy.



Not even two weeks after she moved to a new foster home THIS happened!!



Jewel says, "Mom stop taking pictures of the fosters, I'm the pretty one."



It Snowed!


Jettsen - Post Surgery




Jettsen has a girlfriend!!

I just read the entire thread
Great photos and what wonderful a wonderful person you are for fostering all those dogs.
PS - the last photo looks like a perfect Christmas card!
