Our 1st Foster Puppy! UPDATED with Pics

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Lucy and Sophie have no idea why I just took the new rug up out of the living room and put everything back in the closets, but they will find out this evening. This is Topper, he will be coming to stay with us this evening until we find him a wonderful forever home. I'll be letting everyone know how he is doing. If anyone is interested, get your apps in to the DRC. His current mom and dad say he is a wonderful puppy, but they are moving to an Apt. where they cannot have dogs. We shall see what their opinion of wonderful is very quickly I'm sure! Stay tuned.

UPDATED: Wed morning!

Right this minute all is quiet. We have had a bath, during which he was such a good boy! What a breeze bathing a puppy like him, vs my girls! I think it took 30 mins or less start to finish. I think the biggest problem right now that I'm having is remembering he is a boy. I am so used to yelling "Girls", or "good Girls" that I get stuck on "good boy". He really is a good boy though. Very sweet and loving and kissey! My girls are having a few adjustment problems, but we are working through them. He has apparently not been allowed on the furniture because he doesn't jump up on the sofa even when my girls do. That actually works well because it gives them a place to sit with me where he isn't. He has already jumped over the doggie gate (something my girls haven't done in 2 years). So, we are hanging in there. We will learn as the days go bye, but somebody is going to get really lucky and have a life full of doodle kisses for real.

Sophie (L) and Foster Topper (R) -- I think they will be good friends if Lucy will let them.

Topper Checking Things Out Last night

Hi, My name is Topper! Will you guys be my friends?

OK, on the count of 3, everybody look a different direction!

My new Foster Mommy thinks I have the cutest tail ever! Sort of like a Question Mark!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Good luck! He is adorable and so are your girls.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Topper is darling. How wonderful for him to be fostered with such good big sisters.

[Valarie]

Oh he's so precious. Hope things are going well. We are hoping to foster at some point also but need to get Sophie settled in a little better first. Looks like the introductions went well.

[F, Calla & Luca]

He is a good looking boy. My sister visited last fall and decided that it was easier to say things like "C'Mon boys", even though I have one of each than to distinguish by gender or name. The doodles didn't seem to mind a bit so don't worry.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Topper does look like Jackdoodle's "Mini-Me", but I think he has a thicker, wavier coat! Same tail, too!
I love the photo where they are all looking in different directions!
Life at your house certainly isn't boring right now!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Right this minute I'm thinking I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a Foster Mom!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

LOL- Jacquie thought he looked like a baby Jackdoodle as soon as she saw his photo! If he's as sweet as my Jack, he is a real prize! Can't wait to see more photos!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Thanks everyone. Just a quick note tonight. We are home. The intro is going ok. He seems to be very lovey, and very much puppy. Karen -- he looks like a miniature Jack and he has the most adorable curly tail! I'll get more pics up tomorrow.

[Anna and Achilles]

Topper looks very sweet. Good luck!

[Phoebe's Mom]

How wonderful! I saw Topper on Petfinder and thought he was beautiful. I am looking forward to hearing all the details...
