Second day

Well the first night was uneventful YAY!!! We headed off to bed at 10:30, and were up at 8 for the morning. She was up once at 4 for a bathroom break but nothing other than that. She didn't whine at all!!!! Too bad I can't take any credit for how good she is lol, but she came this way.

Today we had fun playing outside for a bit. Because she's so little she can only be outside for a few minutes before she starts shivering and needs to come in. I can't really think of anything else interesting to say so I guess thats all for now.

Oh, I will agree with you all that I am crazy for having three!! haha Although we unfortunately have a recall date for Polaris (less than two weeks away) and until then, Cliff is staying at a puppysitters. So technically we never have more than two foster puppies in the house. That way the attention isn't spread too thin, but I can stil foster the specific puppies that I want regardless of when hand out is. Plus my mother is very supportive and has taken a huge role in all the puppies, and especially Cliff's life. He goes to work with her and gets handled by her, so even when I am busy with Polaris, or now the new puppy, everyone is still getting worked and socialized. I think that she is getting very good and is hooked on fostering. By having two I never have to "share" if I don't want to. I'm not sure if she will foster once I move out, but I think she might at some point.

Also, in both situations of overlapping puppies, things just happened at the right time and place, and it was because of the puppy that I got them. When we ended up with Cliff it was because I had been thinking of a poodle and none were available. It was amazing timing that he got returned the morning I had enquired about a poodle. As for Ribbon, there were a ton of puppies born around the same time that they werre looking for homes for. Originally I wasn't planning on getting one, but the timing was going to work out very well with Polaris going back. Plus there was a black female (I had said i wanted a female) out of the same mother as my first foster puppy who was a great dog that I will never forget. How could I resist? Nothing in my life puppy or otherwise has turned out like I imagine it, but it's been working out well for me so far :)
