    I'm nuts lol

    I agreed to foster 3 4 month old puppies for the rescue. I've taken care of litters before so I'm sure I'll be pulling my hair out in a few weeks lol. On the upside I get my puppy fix.

    Crafther and I both know we would be terrible foster parents, we would keep each and every one of them.
    You are great for being there!

    I really wish I could keep them all. My mom upset me yesterday by saying you can't save them all. She thinks just because I don't go on vacations or go places I'm unhappy. Dogs are my life and I will save as many as I can. I suffer from anxiety and depression and this is the one thing that helps me. I get out and meet people in the dog world I go on group walks with other people who love their dogs as much as me, rescue events and with my breeder friend I sometimes go to dog shows or obediance or agility trials. She really upset me when she even said this is going to ruin your marriage. She thinks I don't spend enough time with my husband. Not the case we just usually involve the dogs in our plans go to the park let them swim, we shed hunt or hike that's fun for us. Just made me mad I finally said i m done talking about it forget I said anything. Sorry for the vent. Can't wait for the babies to get here. I think I'm going to set them up in my basement its heated and partly finished but its concrete floor so if they pee its easily cleaned. I have a huge metal xpen and I'll put bedding down there for them and some toys and bones. I also put another xpen for them outside so I'm not chasing puppies all over.

    I think you're great for fostering. Our lives pretty much revolve around our pets too. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for fostering. Your world and way of life is not like your Mom's and that's OK.

    Thanks for fostering them! You'll have your hands full! But you can get them on the trick challenge and when they go to their furever home they'll have a few tricks up their sleeves!!

    This made me laugh. I'll be happy of I get them all potty trained. I thought potty training one was enough now I'm going to have 3.
