THe Joys of Fostering Puppies.....

OK, so this is not as easy as I thought it would be. The adorable puppies that are getting more used to humans everyday are still REALLY scared when it comes to actually going to a new home. This evening a VERY nice and patient man came and chose "big boy" (the largest male who is black with a little bit of brown on his face). We all sat and watched as the timid puppy got into the cage for food then I pulled the door closed with a rope. Then the crying and pooping began. We actually caught the biggest and the smallest (Buff--the blond looking female)puppies at once. They both completely freaked out! Despite the trauma and the long process, "big boy" did go home with his new family. I sure hope he will socialize quickly now that he will get some one on one time and attention in an enclosed environment! He is such an adorable puppy! It makes me sad to think that tonight will be his first night without his brothers and sisters to stay warm with while he sleeps. Yes, I know, he is "just a dog", but I seem to have a really tender heart these days. That may be why I still have 5 babies in my back yard. Buff (the smallest)ended up with a collar and leash on and then got away. She is under the little house in my back yard and I fear she may never come out again. I hope she is ok. She needs to have some one on one attention SOON before she scares herself to death! Hopefully, tomorrow will be a less stressful day in the life of this foster mom and her sweet, scared babies! Again, anyone who has lots of love, patience, and a puppy whispering sort of ability.....PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WANT A PUPPY! Several of them have been claimed from just looking at the pictures but they will go to the first kind person who is able to take them to a good home.
