Our foster Bana and Otis too
-
I know, the kids keeps on singing .."Otis got a grilfriend" over and over, which is funny 'cause hopefully they don't know what that means yet…

Well maybe, just maybe foster mom will turn into mom. 3 years old is perfect as she's mature which is good for Otis but young enough to play with him.

Bana is a beauty and Otis gorgeous, i love next to the last pic of him, he looks so alert.

I've told myself not adopt any of my fosters for the first 3-4 that I have (after great advice from my coordinator) after that it is fair game..They do look so cute together though, don't they..

That maybe your little princess. Otis is Prince you know and it looks as if he has found his princess. They do look good together.

We failed "Fostering 101" and you may too, that happens all too often, then you are not available to foster anyone else! But she sure looks pretty and happy with Otis. I love the photos, Otis is a cutie. So glad he survived his accident with a car!

I'd probably fail and end up keeping it.

Yes I realize that might happen, but like I said not yet, or at least that is what I am telling myself..not yet.

What beauties. I don't know if I could foster without wanting to keep them all. Keep us posted and take lots of pictures.

They look great together, I cannot get my 2 to lay down like that next to eachother.
They make a cute couple. I have not volunteered to become a Foster yet, because I am afraid of getting too attached and wanting to keep them all. -

If you can get your mind set to helping a dog and then passing it to the forever home, its a great help to rescue.
Sort of like being a babysitter, you take them in, love them, care for them, then send them to their forever home.
We always needs good foster homes… -

I think I might become a FosterMom once we retire from the Army and get our own home. We are living in a Rental and 2 dogs is max here. We plan on getting a big ranch with a nice fenced in area with shade trees and small water features for the current 2 to roam in, then I can think about becoming a Foster for real.
Sorry Basenjimama for taking over your thread :D

Sounds like a wonderful place, I want that too one day. We live on a half acre lot in houston, tx but our little neighborhood of 24 homes have no deed restrictions, nor do we have a homeowners assoc..YEAH, that is a big deal to us. So we have our backyard chickens, our dogs,, and cats and nobody can tell us otherwise..
Miezimau, no worries, you didn't hijack the thread, just sharing your dreams and hopes..I know that when you are ready, BRAT would love to have you as well as any other rescue organization.. -

They do look great together. Bana and Otis look so peaceful. Such friendly warm behavior will certainly help Bana find a forever home, wherever it is.
Best

How is she doing?
-
Yes she is, I love here dearly as a temporary pet(boy, that sounds bad, but no ill meant by that expression), but hope she will find a great forever home here in a week or two. I actually feel pretty good about her going to a real family as supposed to stay with us. The kids will be very sad and so will I, but I can see the bigger picture…I think, ask me again when she is about to leave...I very well might have a different tune then..LOL
She is doing great though. I have had her since tuesday last week and since then I have been the mom that takes everybodies kids in, with three additional kids on top of my own two every day. She has actually gotten very used to them and seeks them out in the house. She finally started playing with Luna, the schnauzer mix a few days ago and with Otis a few days before that. She has been exposed to several of my husbands ex-football player friends to see how she would be around men and she as excepted them and even licked their hands and sat in their laps, no problem. So I think she is ready to be put on the BRAT list of available dogs. I will work on her ad this weekend and then we will see.
Thanks for checking in, I probably will end up keeping one of our fosters. just not our first one..it would look bad ;)
