A Few Quick Updates

Trixie is a Boston Terrier mix, possibly mixed with Tasmanian Devil.  She is very playful, and has a lot of energy.  Trixie loves everyone, and thinks that everyone also is very playful and has a lot of energy.  It takes four normal dogs to wear out Trixie, if she plays with them one at a time until they get tired.  I have no idea how many humans it takes to wear out Trixie because it hasn't been done yet.  Trixie does occasionally settle down after wearing out all the dogs and humans in the house, and on those occasions she is happy to cuddle up and go to sleep.  Of course by that time I've been asleep for hours, so I usually miss this exciting event.  By the time I get up in the morning, she is once again ready to play!

Mickey is a Chihuahua mix who was adopted out several months ago and was just returned due to not getting along with the other dog in the home. He does very well with all the dogs at my house, but he can be a bit of a bully (all eight pounds of him) so I can understand why another dog may not have wanted to put up with that. He is very well mannered with people and has been a big hit at adoption events. He is scheduled to go to a foster-to-adopt home on Monday!

All Paws recently took in five American Eskimo Dogs after their owner passed away, and two of them (Casper and Buddy) came to my house. These were the first Eskies I have ever fostered, and I fell in love with the breed. The dogs are sweet and playful and easy-going. Buddy has moved on to another foster home now, and Casper has been adopted!

Status Updates and Puppy Pictures

Most of my foster dogs with issues have now been adopted!  Gucci, Jet, Blondie and Annie Beagle all found wonderful homes!  Also Leroy was adopted, and Lulu and Gus are both in foster-to-adopt homes.  I also took in these temporary foster dogs:

Josie, Ginger and Sarge came into rescue along with two other dogs from a hoarder/collector situation.  They are friendly and sweet, and within a week they went out to other foster homes.

Josie has a habit of squeaking instead of barking.  She is a very small dog and very sweet and loving.  She might not be the smartest in the bunch, but she is one of the happiest.

Josie

Ginger is only eight months old which might explain why she has so much energy.  She is a very athletic dog and will often climb on your back, your shoulders, or the top of your head.  For the few days she was here I was teaching her to jump into my arms on command, because it was preferable to having her jump on me when I wasn't ready.   Even with all her energy she is very sweet and likes to cuddle and lick your face and your ears, and she is very determined to do so even if you sit curled up in a ball with your hands over your face.  

Ginger

 Sarge is a Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix.  He was good with most of the other dogs but thought that he was in charge and tried to scare away all new dogs that came in, so he went to a foster home where there aren't so many new dogs all the time.

Charlie Mac was only here for two days, and that was just long enough to realize that he was a goofy boy that likes everyone and has no concept of personal space.  Since I already have one of those (named Eeyore), Charlie Mac quickly went to another foster home where he was a perfect fit.

 I also took in eight puppies that had nowhere to go.  They are some sort of Hound mix, and they're around ten weeks old now.  They will be moving on to other foster homes as space becomes available, and should be available for adoption within a week or two.

Another happy puppy!  Or maybe the same one!
