We're getting a new foster puppy tomorrow!

[SallyMander]

This is Lilly. She's a 7-month-old cairn terrier. Her former owners thought it would be *fun* to breed puppies... apparently they had 1 male and 3 females, cranked out some puppies, then got a divorce. Hence all the dogs are now being fostered through the rescue society.

SPAY AND NEUTER, PEOPLE!!!! :grr:



So what are the chances i'm going to end up keeping this one? :D

[Zoigal]

1. What a cutie...

Going to be hard to give that one up. Thanks for being a foster. z

[SallyMander]

2. Yeah, it's always hard...

Fun though! And my dog Elmo seems to like having foster siblings around.

We were lucky -- my fiance's parents adopted the one we got the most attached to! :D

[marzipanni]

3. I'd say the chances are arf-full high...

(but then I'd have to recite the little poem my dad, an inveterate punster, would use as an apology-
"For every puny pun I shed,
I really should be pun-ish-ed.")

Lilly is adorable, and I hope you adopt her!

7. ...

:spray:


That's fantastic! I'm going to have to remember that one. :rofl:


We'll see how she gets along with Elmo, and go from there... we haven't ruled out the possibility. ;)

4. She is beautiful and terriers are the best! I have a Yorkshire and a Silky and they rock my world!

8. Awww, you should post pics!

We are already huge terrier fans. This is Elmo -- he's a shelter pup, but obviously some kind of terrier mix. He has the most hilarious, stubborn, yet intelligent personality. :)

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Oh my Elmo is so beautiful! I could just kiss him all over! Terriers are very intelligent!

And loving,hilarious and of course stubborn. I just love them! My Yorkie is in my sig. She is my best friend.

[SallyMander]

16. Aww thanks!

We always joke that Elmo is a dog that even cat-lovers like... because he's not up in your face, or slobbery, and he has a bit of that cat-like "i'm gonna do whatever i want" personality.

We know he loves us, but he sure isn't a Labrador. :rofl:


Edit - typo

6. Aww what a cutie!

:hug:

[SallyMander]

9. Aww, i'm sorry you couldn't keep him

That must have been tough :(

[greenbriar]

10. it was

I believe hubby actually shed a few tears...



we just couldn't keep fixing things he chewed through and we even had him neutered thinking it would help

[SallyMander]

11. How old was he when you gave him up?

Still teething, or older? Did you try crate training him for when you were out of the house? :(

[greenbriar]

12. he was 1 1/2 years

we got him at 7 weeks...

we tried to crate train him, he ate through the crate

then became an outdoor dog...that was the hot tub cover x2 and phone wires and airconditioning conduit wire not to mention

house siding

hot tub steps ect...

we just couldn't keep doing it...


he needed to be where he could roam more than our huge back yard would let him

[SallyMander]

13. Hopefully he's a lot happier now

(and less destructive!)


Holy cow -- that's a lot of chewing!!!

I hope your next one is easier on you.

:hug:

[greenbriar]

14. we got the kitteh instead

we have an 8 year old indoor dog. She is and has been a good dog


took the kitteh in stride!!!

[SallyMander]

17. A couple more pics

For some Saturday cuteness :D

[lizziegrace]

18. She's precious

and no, she'll never have another home. She's already home. :hug:

[SallyMander]

19. How are you doing today lg?

I'm pretty wrecked... puppy had to pee at 2:30, 4:30, and 8am. *yaaaawn*

She's a sweetie though -- still pretty shy/timid from being neglected and not socialized. She's settling in just fine though. :)

20. Welcome to parenthood

:)

I'm okay. Printing off photos to take to the visitation tomorrow. I grew up in the community where the funeral and service will take place. I got a call from my 3rd grade teacher this morning. She'll be there. My cousin was part of the school district in this Cincinnati suburb for over 30 years. My childhood is there. Lelapin and I are leaving early to go see my old neighborhood and school. We're meeting OhioBlues and LoveOhioBlues after visitation for dinner.

Should be an emotional day, but I'm grateful I'm close enough to be able to attend. Seeing my old teachers and old neighbors from childhood should be a real shock to my psyche...

:hug:

[SallyMander]

21. I'm sure it'll be a long and difficult day

but family and old friends will be glad you're there. It's great you guy will be able to make it. :hug:

And say hi to OhioBlues and LoveOhioBlues for me! :)

[lizziegrace]

22. I will

:hug:
