I am a Failure...

a foster failure, that is...

I know, I know

I swore sweet Charlie was NOT staying!

I mean he had a committed rescue up in NY...

We have 4 dogs already, cause....

we had already "failed" with fosters, Lily and Sierra.

 

sigh...

I used to be strong...

 I have had lots and lots of fosters over the years and they all eventually found wonderful "furever" families.

 Some were harder than others to let go but...

 I LET THEM GO!

It's all their fault

 

hehe

I tried to find a home for Lily.  

 

I tried and tried and tried but never had one person, not one, even ask about her.  She has 3 legs and we had just lost our sweet pup Tippy, who also had 3 legs and after a year of advocacy, I was just not strong enough to let her go.

Sierra came to us as a temporary foster and needed socialization, boy did she ever need socialization!

 

This sweet puppy was scared of everything and everybody and it took a solid month of love and patience and hard work to get her to the point of not hiding under the bed or behind the sofa whenever we came near her.

She still hides behind the sofa whenever anyone other than our family comes in the house and I knew after a few months that she was not going anywhere.  It would have been too hard on her...

and us.

So, three strikes and we are out, right?

 

At least for a while anyway, I mean we now have 5 kids and 5 dogs.

 

I know what you are thinking...

 

we will have a 6th child soon...

 She can have the cat!  

 

Heh!

Now, here is the hard part and I need your help!

I cannot have a Lizzie and a Lily and a Lucy and TWO Charlie's, so...

WE NEED A NAME!

Maybe something with a CH or SH sound??

Chewy is in the running but we need more suggestions!

HELP!

Welcome home sweet Charlie

You are home and safe...

"furever"
