Dogs of The SMB.

I’d really struggle with fostering. I’d just have a house full of dogs I’d kept. Fair play to you though, it’s a lovely thing.

Yes it can be a wrench handing them over, but it then makes space for another/others to get out of kennels.

Talking of a house full - about a year and a half ago, we had one foster dog with us plus our own five dogs.
The foster dog was due to be adopted on a particular Saturday so we decided to foster 3 dogs from the Sunday, so we would have 8 in the house.

We got a phone call late on the Friday night from the 'adopters' saying they'd changed their minds and then on the Sunday we got a phone call from the people transporting the dogs (for foster), saying a particular dog had somehow been put on the vehicle without being allocated to any fosterer and would we be able to take him.

So, we ended up having TEN dogs in the house for a while.
Safe to say breakfast time was a tad chaotic 🤣.

Gutted. Have to take our girl to be put down tomorrow. Age has finally got the better of her 😞
She’s 12 now and my profile picture is one of the first days after we got her at a couple of months old

Oh goodness. She's gorgeous and she obviously grew up to be a fine lady surrounded by and giving lots of love. My heart goes out to you and your family. Stay strong, for her, tomorrow

Oh mate, I am so sorry.

My first dog was a German Shepherd, and they are such beautiful souls.
He passed 45 years ago. He was my best friend throughout my childhood.
I still carry a photo of him to this day.

My heart goes out to you marra.

So sorry to hear this. My boy is 12 this month so starting to dread the day but all we can do is what’s best for them.
