foster st rocco s tails a devotional st rocco s tails a devotional skip to content home meet the pooches tag archives foster february 4 2011 16 55 bravo is the new alfa well if there s one thing we can always count on it s change right of course i don t mean the kind of change that jingles in your pocket i mean the things don t stay the same kind the don t blink or you ll miss it kind tomorrow marks the third only the third week since the puppies came home with me they have since opened their eyes found their tiny voices begun to cut teeth and started walking or more accurately staggering like rummies alfa the biggest pup upon arrival is now the smallest at one pound one ounce bravo weighs a pound and four ounces and baby sister charlie registers one pound three ounces according to the scale this morning they have begun to play a bit after feedings awkwardly tumbling over one another and mouthing each other s ears and snouts alfa vocalizes with a bird like growl and yip when vexed while bravo is a quiet soul charlie seems to have the best motor control at this point though all the pups look a bit like bambi on ice when they stumble off the piddle pad onto the polished wood floor time has offered other rewards as well i am down to only one extra load of laundry per day as the babies move from true infancy no longer soiling their bedding at what seemed like five minute intervals if i feed the littles around midnight i get to sleep until four which is only an hour and a half before the first alarms start to sound for the rest of the house baby steps people baby steps

under diary entry uncategorized tagged as alfa bailey bravo charlie duke foster mick pictures puppies rescue january 27 2011 21 27 another day in the dog house ah where to begin it s been a very busy week around the dog house the puppies have grown so much their eyes are now open and they can no longer be trusted to stay in their nest alfa is tipping the scales at a hefty 264 grams and little charlie s not far behind at 260 grams bravo seems the steady gainer at 256 grams as i said all eyes are open the milky baby blue that will likely turn to some shade of brown and after hours of googling puppy pics i can say the tinies look a bit like the designer dog ratshire chihuahua yes there are people who breed and sell puppies that take the rat terrier yorkshire terrier mix and add in a dash of chihuahua the dogs are adorable but i am currently constructing a soap box from which to rant about the foolishness of such breedings when i was a kid there were pure breeds and mutts and you could find both at the local shelter the same is true today mick our basenji still struggles to accept the presence of the two adult fosters mike and duke but shows an odd tenderness to the babies issuing a warning growl to the other dogs when they draw too close at bottle feedings the scrappy little fellow has picked fights with massive duke but gently cleans the little ones enjoying the warm sweet mix of milk and pumpkin that spills from the corners of their mouths at some point i ll create a page on my neonatal experience explaining the pumpkin but suffice it to say the pumpkin was a lifesaver bailey and duke show little interest in the puppies and unfortunately mike is indiscriminate in his taste and i have to keep all the soiled bedding well out of reach to switch gears a bit however mike is showing loads of progress in his fearfulness though he seems to meet dylan my teenager with new eyes every day he has finally allowed dylan to approach and will on occasion lick his hand and accept a scratch behind the ears duke is still the showboat he will need a very smart owner last night i gathered all the toys which duke loves to hoard and placed them in a little lidded basket i keep by the back door for pet supplies i ve done it before but not in his presence i wanted them out of the way so i could vacuum in a moment of distraction commonly described as adhd i began unloading the dishwasher and making a cup of tea rather than sticking to the task at hand as i stood at the counter cradling my warm mug and enjoying the waft of rooibos fruit and vanilla spice i spied duke lurking in the shadow of the pool table slinking around a table leg he craned his neck to the right to locate me and apparently not realizing i can see tip toed scooby doo style to the basket where he gently nosed the lid discovering he could retrieve his toys he made trip after trip to the basket removing one toy at a time hiding each under the pool table and finding to his delight a new toy a plush i d stored because mike enjoys nothing more than disemboweling stuffies once again i am astounded at duke s genius and determination his problem solving ability is such a pleasure to watch and i know i will miss his antics 1 comment filed under diary entry uncategorized tagged as alfa bravo charlie dog rescue duke foster puppies toys january 20 2011 20 52 pup date now that the kitchen scale is up and running we have new stats on the tinies alfa weighs in at a whopping 222 grams approximately 49 pounds don t mess with him or he ll sit on you bravo is the smallest at 208 grams about 45 pounds but has doubled his weight from saturday so we re pleased miss charlie lands somewhere in the middle of her brothers weighing 214 grams or about 47 pounds the darlings had an outing today first to the yoga studio and then on some errands including freebirds target and petsmart no one ever asks what s in the shoebox it s awesome 1 comment filed under diary entry tagged as

nature s miracle forgiveness i haven t had a lot of time to write lately it s the same excuse most of us have at the start of winter the holidays it couldn t possibly be the two extra dogs in the house who in their first two or three weeks with us were too shelter shocked to do much more than sleep and eat but of late have taken to mad romps across sofa stairs and pool table yes duke has been found standing on the pool table of a morning surveying his territory however before i take off for a day of galavanting read running errands i have this thought if dogs have taught me anything it s that love is often measured in ounces of forgiveness and nature s miracle the stain and odor remover i realize my audience may respond with a collective duh about the correlation between love and forgiveness but how often are we truly struck with that correlation because when i was hosing down floor pet gate dogs and toys this morning after an altercation over most beloved purple kong wubba that led to micturition of the voluminous sort subsequently tracked about in the melee i found myself chuckling petting heads and soothing hurt feelings rather than scolding and shooing pups out the back door i have lost count of how much nature s miracle and hydrogen peroxide we ve used over the last month while the ratio of pounds of dog food to pounds of dog poop has become the subject of side bets math problems and good humor that the myriad of inconveniences involved in fostering has become joke fodder is evidence of the miracle of forgiveness extended by and to all members of my household two and four legged alike we are awash in forgiveness this post brought to you by nature s miracle stain and odor remover permanently eliminates all stains odors even urine odors other products fail to remove guaranteed or your money back available in a convenient one gallon refill 1 comment filed under diary entry uncategorized tagged as dog forgiveness foster nature s miracle pet december 2 2010 02 07 about this blog a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step lao tzu a single step would have been plenty but rarely one to approach a task incrementally i chose to take three steps at once in an attempt at fulfilling a long time dream of operating a dog rescue long time as in since childhood lying awake nights picturing acres and acres of rolling hills upon which every unwanted dog could frolic away his her canine days i signed up to volunteer at a local animal shelter i walked dogs once two days later i approached the shelter s director requesting permission to foster three dogs this is the beginning of my journey i have been entrusted with the care of three precious pooches for whom i aim to find suitable life long homes this blog is dedicated to that pursuit to my love of dogs and to my personal experience as a budding rescuer i hope you enjoy the journey comments off on about this blog filed under about tagged as animal foster animal
