Ziggy's Fan Club

A friend of mine recently suggested that if I really want to find my foster dog Ziggy a home, I should probably talk a little bit nicer about him on my blog. Well, I really do want to find him a home, but I just can't keep the Ziggy stories to myself.  He's a menace, I tell you.  Well, maybe not a menace.  But definitely a challenge.  And he's too entertaining to not talk about.  Plus his new adopters, if he ever gets any, will quickly find that out for themselves.  So I have to be honest and make sure they know what they're getting into. 

Several people on here have mentioned that they like Ziggy - a lot - so I thought maybe if I start his own fan club, he'd be the only foster dog in the area with a fan club of his own.  Surely THAT would make up for some of my Ziggy stories... wouldn't it?  Before you answer that, I have to tell you my latest Ziggy story.

The other day, instead of putting Ziggy in his crate while I was at work, I left him in an exercise pen.  It's kind of like an indoor big wire kennel without a top, and it gives him more room to move around.  However, the door was bent and while I was gone, Ziggy made his escape.  And did this to the blinds.


Yeah, I'm not sure a fan club is going to help make up for that.  But somehow sharing all the damages that my fosters do with you makes me feel better. He also got into the cats' room and ate all of their food and most of their toys. 

Ziggy doesn't mean to cause harm to anyone or anything - he just likes to chew.  Everything.  Yesterday I snapped this picture of my stepdaughter Rachael with Ziggy. 
Look closely and you can see he is chewing on her hand.  I didn't notice at the time or I would have stopped him.  I am finally starting to make some progress on teaching him that people are not for chewing (we've only been working on it for four months - he's very tenacious!)  Sigh.  Please check out Ziggy's Fan Page and leave a comment if you'd like to become a fan.  I promise not to let him visit.
