Dogs and More Dogs and Even More Animals

I have been telling Ron since Kraymer was 7 that I need another dog for just in case. Yes we have Tucker, Ron's dog, but Tucker isn't mine. Kraymer is MY baby. Does that make sense? I love Tucker, but he's not "my" dog. So Ron kept putting me off saying that once we moved we could add a dog to the family. Well we have been trying to move out of the DC area for a few years now, and guess what? We haven't moved. I put my foot down and said we were getting another dog. Well, let me restate that, we discussed another dog, and agreed on fostering a pup. I feel the need to help the world sometimes, and my natural interest is all about the animals.

I Also applied to volunteer at Poplar Springs animal sanctuary. I have told Ron that when we move - and have LAND - that I want to help out by housing a few cows and pigs that have been saved. So, volunteering I'd be helping their facility out while learning how to care for these animals. I haven't heard back yet though.

I have some training classes starting in a week. I am a bit nervous but excited... Most of the people in the class will be friends of mine so that helps. I just know some of these dogs so I know some of the challenges - which is good I think so I can prepare. One loves to hump me when he sees me (even when I am trying to walk him!) another isn't motivated by anything in life that we have found, and another is 80% blind. Should be a learning experience! I just hope I don't flop.

Anywho - happy Wednesday peeps. I am hoping we get some good news on Hobbie. I know that his FB friends have helped him out by buying some paintings he put on sale, but if he needs more, I am willing to help out. Vet bills can be SO HIGH it's unreal, but I think our pets are worth every penny.

Yes! I love it.

I think it would be a good idea just to try and send Jon what is comfortable
to contribute. I can see him having a large credit at the animal hospital
and not being able to use it if he needs it.

That is a very good idea.

Fostering sounds like a good way to help dogs in need while you think about adding another dog to your family.

Yes. Many dogs need help.

Just saw that photo of Hobbes and heard that he is sick. So sad.

Hope the fostering and training goes well for you. I feel like I'm always talking myself out of getting a dog or another cat. Once you have that bigger space you can go hog wild. In the meantime, I'm curious to hear how life goes with three dogs in your current space.

well we are in a single family with a decent sized yard at the moment, so I think 3 will be ok. I Will keep ya posted though! I think Sarge and Rigby are happy to have each other!

I admire your commitment to help these poor animals. I also feel the same about Jon and his kitty. It is not only a whole lot of money but the emotional stress I am sure is overwhelming.

True! That does take a lot out of people...
