Day 2 with my foster

The first night went well - the new pup slept all night long on the dog bed with a few other dogs. It's always nice not to have to get up in the middle of the night to do potty duty!

I may have a name: Blossom. I will use it today to see how it feels and how she likes it.

A little more about her: she is 5 years old and was in a large commercial breeding facility for most of her young life. Since obtaining her freedom she has been in a "halfway house" where she got spayed, vetted and properly cared for. From there she went into her first foster home where she learned what it was like to live in a loving home with other dogs, cats, children and adults. Now that she is with me, we will work on fine-tuning the skills she began learning in her previous foster home, such as socialization, leash walking, using stairs, riding in the car - things that will help her be a well-adjusted dog. The ultimate goal: find her a home where she will be loved, adored and pampered for the rest of her life.
