My First Foster Coming Home Tomorrow!

[Adrianne Matzkin]

Thanks to Jacqie and the DRRC, I am picking up my first foster tomorrow. 'Jason' is a 4 month old, male, NOT intact, F1b puppy from Almost Heaven.

Of course as you all know me and my camera ready fingers, pictures to be posted tomorrow.

My mother always told me never to go to someones home emptyhanded so I am going to the shelter with lots of goodies. I have been calling all the businesses I do business with and hitting them up for donations. I hope they are generous! I am going to bring bags of food, collars and leashes and of course, toys!

I can't wait to meet 'Jason'!!!

Rocket Man!!

Uh Oh, A...you're in trouble now. He was the really sweet one! A real heartbreaker.

[Lynda Kamrath]

OhOh, I can't imagine you giving up this guy. Is that what you mean by a "foster failure"? I only imagine that a foster failure is the person who keeps every dog they foster. I know that would describe me. So let's see how it goes. Good luck!

[Adrianne Matzkin]

HE will be a success - my failure would be in not getting him the forever he deserves! My life, at this point, is not ready for more than Samantha on a full time basis but I certainly can have a foster on short term basis.

I already have someone interested in him and he isn't even here yet!!

[Beth and Gang]

What a beautiful baby boy!! He will be in great hands with Adrianne!! Sam will love having s little brother, even if it is for a short time!!

[Adrianne Matzkin]

Beth, your mouth to the DGs ears!!!

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

He is a Chocolate F1B ...and an Almost Heaven survivor......: )..Thank you so much Adrianne for all of your help and support...Proud to have you as part of our collective!....

[Adrianne Matzkin]

It is ME who THANKS YOU and all the DRCCs!
Right place - right time for many, many reasons!!

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

OK ...Be prepared for smell and filthy ears.....I'll come over tomorrow night and clean and pluck ears for you Adrianne......The smell is that Almost Heaven stench that takes weeks to get rid of....It has become less offensive with the last bath he was given but you can still detect it.......Also, he was just neutered last week so you'll have to wait another week or so before you will be able to really bathe him.....( the incision could become infected otherwise)....but there are some great smelling spray products and wipes for puppies that work really well in the meantime.....

[Adrianne Matzkin]

wipe I have. thanks for the tip
