Update on our little Eggo (Waffle... Leggo my Eggo... Get it??)!! I have an awesome prospective home lined up for her (seeeeee Countryboy??? I'm NOT keeping her!!)

Family friends, Gary & Rachel, have been considering getting a companion for their 9 year old Shih Tzu, Tess. My sister knew this so she set up an "ambush" tonight - I brought Waffle to Gary & Rach's house because I "happened to be in the neighborhood". It took a few minutes for the girls to warm up to each other, but before long, Tess & Waffle were romping and playing and chasing all over their house! Since they have Tess, they're accustomed to dogs who require grooming - they've also been through the puppyhood/potty training days - albeit a few long years ago. They have two older school age kids who adore Waffle already (who wouldn't???!)

In order to set the family up for success, I agreed to let them pick her up on Thursday afternoon - Rachel has Thursday afternoon and Friday off of work, so she'll have a long weekend to test-drive the baby. They know that there is no pressure - if she doesn't work out, she'll come back to our house in a heartbeat (and no, I still won't keep her!), but since she's been at our house for a few days, I know she's an awesome little puppy - no horrible habits - they'll fall in love with her and won't let her go!!

I absolutely love fostering! It's so rewarding to know that we can provide a safe, happy halfway house for pets who find themselves orphaned - and I love helping create happy families!

ps... thanks for the compliment, Sheryl!!! I am feeling pretty amazing since dropping 65 pounds and exercising myself back to health! Like fostering (and pets in general) it has become rather a passion of mine!

First I just have to say congrats on losing 65 pounds.. wowza!!

And Waffle is just too darn cute! I love that shimmery soft fluff she has, makes me want cuddle her all up!! I hope everything works out with Gary and Rachel as I'm sure it will. You did a great thing fostering her. It's nice to know that there are still selfless and caring people like yourself willing to do that to keep dogs from ending up in a shelter and/or going to bad homes! In my area there are very few people willing to foster. When I was talking with the local poodle rescue while I was looking for a dog I spoke with one of the foster homes and she was fostering six poodles because no one else would take any in!

A good point to remember in any interaction with dogs, people, or other animals. Doesn't matter if yr training an A-frame, or setting up a new home.

Too many people move into a new situation without thinking it thru completely . . something unexpected happens . . and the oppourtunity *Canadian spelling * for pleasant, lifelong interaction is lost.

Good on ya, Plum!
