Delta was adopted!

The last of the litter of nine puppies has been adopted!  And I went the whole weekend without taking in any new fosters!  I'm not sure which one I'm more excited about at this point. :-)  I did offer to take in a deaf Pomeranian - and maybe three more puppies.  And I was hoping to find room for a St. Bernard and a Rottweiler as well.  But I think the Pomeranian found another foster home, and I'm still waiting to hear about the puppies, and so far I haven't talked my husband into fostering another big dog yet. 

Lizzy, Scribbles and Gandalf all went to adoptions on Saturday.  Scribbles was actually pretty calm, considering the circumstances.  She did very well, and one person even successfully petted her while she was there!  There's hope for her yet.  None of my fosters were adopted, but there were a few other dogs and cats adopted, so that was exciting. 

On Sunday I took Champ, another All Paws foster dog, to the JDRF walk in Forest Park.  Since Lizzy isn't really crazy about crowds, especially with lots of kids running around, I borrowed a friend's foster dog for the day.  Champ is awesome - he's a Boxer mix who was perfect for the event.  Not only did he like all the people he met, and get along with the other dogs there, but he also kept that crazy Fredbird from getting too close. :-)

Introducing Delta


This is Delta.  She's the last of the litter of nine puppies - the other eight were adopted yesterday.  I took her home last night, and took her to PetSmart today but she wasn't adopted, so I'll keep her until she finds a home.  She's adorable, and very annoying at the same time, as only a puppy can be.  She is very sweet, but she misses her littermates and she hates to be alone.  So she now cries if I put her in her kennel.  I've found the easiest way to deal with this is to not put her in her kennel.  I know that's not the BEST way to deal with it - but hey, we've both had a tough weekend and she'll have to deal with being alone all day tomorrow while I'm at work.  So for now, her first day without her littermates, I'm going to give in to her.  

Because seriously, look at this face.  She's so good at looking sad and pathetic.  I think I'll put this picture on her petfinder listing - how could anyone who's looking for a puppy NOT want this dog?!  
I might put this picture on too.  Her new nickname is Fuzz-face.  I could put a Santa hat on her and she could pretend she's Santa Claus.  I don't know where the fuzz came from, but she sure did look cute with it stuck to her chin!
