It's been awhile since I've written anything, and thought it was about time to update!
Vikki and Misty both got accepted at HWAC last week. :)
Paxton had surgery to remove the infected foxtail in his throat, and he was adopted!
Amos spent a few days with Paxton's family while we were on our road trip, and Joey went back to his previous foster home while we were gone as well.
We have Amos back now, and will get Joey back the start of next week. And we'll be ready then to get a few new fosters as well! Get ready for more stories and photos then!

Fostering a Rescue Dog
Quoted from M. Shirley Chong
"Like any foster parent, you have a special task ahead of you. You have to guide, teach, help and love this refugee, without becoming this dog's one-and-only person.
You have to be ready to spend time and energy and love on this dog, and yet be able to give it up when the right family comes along.
If everything works out right, someday not too far in the future, there'll be a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes as you watch your foster dog eagerly leave your home and loving care for a new life with a new family."
And it is SO worth it.
