UsurpingToby I hope Geordie is having a good day today. I sure hate hearing that the end may be near. We all know how hard that is knowing someone won't get better, but not wanting to lose them. How scary meeting the guy with the dogs off leash. I sure hope you weren't hurt Toby. Had to laugh about the bra notifying the police though. Wonder if any dates were ever interrupted by the police being called as things started to heat up. BOL TheWildOnes Clarabelle is too cute. I know she was glad to have her daddy home. Bet the whole crew was. How is he doing by the way? The schools here have a fall break. It is in addition to spring break, but they have a shorter summer break. Think thy get out in June here and go back in late July. Mom didn't have a fall break when she was in school, but then again she didn't go to school where we live now. DALLAS how nice to see a pic of your daddy, too. It almost looks like he is saying a prayer with his hands folded that way. Angels Hershey & Winkie I didn't realize you had a birthday coming up soon. We'll all have to party. Looks like yours is close to Cheeky's. Well, Finn met one family yesterday that love him and want him, and is meeting another family this evening. Mom is feeling so conflicted again. On the one hand she (and I and I think even Cheeky) wants to keep Finn. He's a sweet boy. Once mom was on to his hiding treats we haven't had any more incidents. I want to play with him all the time, and he really tries to lay down and stay on his side and play with me. Mom says I'm the one that won't calm down. hehe. Cheeky even got a little playful with him yesterday. Mom's kind of glad he just looked at Cheeky like are you for real. BOL. On the other side of things though mom still has concerns about me and my spine. She loves seeing me playing (Cheeky and I don't really play together much), and she hates wonder "what if". Mom would feel terrible with I did re-injure myself, and every now and then she sees me resting after a play session and turning my paws under a little more. I'm not walking on them that way, but mom hates to see it even when I am resting. Sigh. Mom is feeling less confident about what the best thing for me is. Better for my spine probably if Finn is not here, but he has been good for my spirits and he's a lot of fun. Mom has been wishing this were an easier decision. Having said all that, it looks very likely that Finn will probably be going to one of these two families. We know the one has said they want him.

Oh Pippi, we are so happy, but so that you found a home for Finn!We totally get it. (It's why mommy doesn't think she could be a foster mommy!) Angels Hershey & Winkie, mommy did that once!! VERY frustrating!! UsurpingToby, we are SO happy to hear Geordie has rallied!! We are so not ready!! Thank you for saying I am cute!! DALLAS, we get it about not taking the girls to visit daddy. We bet he would love that, though. Daisy & Josey, we understand about not being able to babysit anymore. Mommy couldn't do it, for sure!

Well, both families have said they want Finn. And mom wants him, too. hehe. He's a popular guy. One family is a much better fit for Finn. So mom has some questions in to the rescue to see. Keep your paws that the best thing for Finn is going to happen here.

Pippi, I'm just hoping that the right and furry best decision will be made for Finn. Clarabelle, my mommy would be a failure as a foster mom, too! If she could, she'd adopt evfurry dog that's evfur been born!
It will be fun to celebrate a barkday with Cheeky!!
It cooled off a lot at our house today. 77* yesfurday. 62* today, and that with not much fog at all. I think mommy is getting tired of watching me 24/7, with daddy gone. I woke her up at 4:30 this morning, then she slept late, until I woke her again. And today I didn't even get a AOwLw1h around the block! Silly lazy mommy! naughty
Daday will be home tomorrow!

Looks like Finn has a new home. He is going to the family that is a better fit for him. We think this will be a good thing for him. He's going to have three people to play with and a four legged brother that sounds like he is just about Finn's size. Just a wee bit smaller. And he will have a fenced yard. Mom is really glad he is going to have a dog buddy.

Angels Hershey & Winkie mom felt good about this family yesterday. It's going to be a good thing and Cheeky and I will help mom through this. We're glad we were able to keep him out of the shelter and give him a place to stay for a while. Mom is going to try and concentrate on being more serious about getting me back in tip top shape now. And I told her if she decides to look at cats again to look just at cats and skip the dogs. hehe

Congratulations, Pippi! It sounds like Finn will have a perfect home now. You and Cheeky helped him to get him ready for his new family responsibilities. (You are good teachers!). I can't wait for you all to find a gentle kitty companion to brighten your days.
Hershey, you must be so happy that Daddy will be home tomorrow! Give him wet kisses from us.
Pooks & Molly, I don't blame Mommy for no longer babysitting. After a while, it becomes exhausting. Taking care of furs is important too!
Geordie had a good day with pleasant sleeps and some tasty meals. Gpa went online to check his equivalent age in human years, and he would be 92-93. He is doing great for a guy that age!

Pippi that is great news that Finn is going with a family more fit for him and a four legged brother his size and a fenced yard we know you are all for him leaving but you gave it your best and mommy has to worry about your spine and Cheeky health. Finn will be close to visit won't he. Hershey your mommy sounds like my mommy no way could she be a foster mom and get attached and have to send them away she would want all though she can't afford it. Pooks/Molly I fully understand your mommy saying she can't babysit any more since the boys are getting older and not wanting to listen. Today mommy visiting daddy at the nursing home then they are going with the Walter Senior Center to Butler State Park an hour away for the day We have been having cooler weather too in the 40's when getting up and reaching mid 60's/ Happy Monday everyone

Pippi that is Great news!!!!! We are so happy for Finn He will have a Pawsome forever ever home and family. Maybe you all can even see each other at times UsurpingToby , mommy babysitted the grandsons for 10 years starting out with Coal then Parker then Evan. 2007 - 2017. We stopped by the very beginning of 2017. When she stop she was a bit lost but us furs helped her find her way. Our mommy would be a foster fail also BOL!! But us doggies love hogging all her attention so having any kind of foster here just wouldn't do.

Happy Monday everyone!
AJ & Tori, daddy looks so relaxed in that picture!
Clarabelle is a good nursemaid!

to Everyfur here!
Geordie, I'm so happy you rallied and have been doing well.
Pippi, Mama is happy Finn has found a good home, but she also has tears in her eyes and is sniffling, because she knows there is sadness as well.
Your furmily did Finn a good turn by keeping him and training him and making him happy, and now he is moving on to a great home.
Have a lovely day, everyone!

Good morning everyone Happy Tuesday Today mommy going to Walton Senior Center for cards and Bingo Yesterday was a nice day weather clear and chilly the lunch at Butler State Park was delicious mommy picked chicken and dumplings, mashed potatoes and ambrosia salad went back to seconds this way she did not need to eat dinner last night While some people were in paying $8 to have six samples of wine tasting along with 2 types of cheese, and dark chocolate chips, mommy and Rosemarie went out to the lobby but no chairs to sit in other members were already sitting there talking so Rosemarie and Mommy went up to the mezzine to sit but before they did a couple were holding their dog looking at brochures mommy can't leave a dog alone without going to it so she asked first if the dog was a therapy dog they said no then she asked if she could pet it they said yes. She asked his name was Thor a black poodle so cute. then mommy and rosemarie went up to the mezzine to sit and talk and look at the view. It was a beautiful full from the big windows but would have been a much better view if the trees had turned into fall colors but they were still green. After we left I went home to feed the girls and Portia put her dog out then back in then we went back to Rosemarie to play cards till 4 pm. So her Columbus Day was great
