Our foster dog Tia :)

Today we went on a group walk organised by a sled dog rescue. The total count was 152 people and 101 dogs.
It was an awesome walk, my two have done nothing but sleep since.

We went to collect our temporary foster, Tia. She's 4 and has been used as a breeding machine. The rescue needed a fosterer urgently so we've got her for a little while. She's absolutely huge compared to our fully grown male sibe!

She's in season (my first experience of this). She keeps growling at Broder so we've got them all on leads for now as I don't want any fights! She was brilliant on the way home, napped on my lap and drooled everywhere. Apart from the growling she's very very calm and laid back. Oh and she's also a howler. A very, very loud howler!

    Shes gorgeous, I hold my hat off to u as a foster carer for dogs, I wouldn't want to let them go back.

    Thou we do try to our bit, weve taken throws, old towels to the local dogs home, and crochet blankets share between our vets - so any dog having an op or an overngt stay has a perosnal touch and again the dogs home.

    My DDs last bday she had some money from a relaitve and she took it straight out to the dogs home. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    She's our first foster so we're all a little nervous and aren't sure what to expect! Well done for donating :).

    That was some walk!!!! I have a mini Schnauzer and we regularly do Schnauzer Walks, the most we managed (so far) was about 70 :D

    Well done for fostering, not sure I could do that (or breeding) as I wouldn't want to let them go :o

    Beautiful dogs by the way!

    Aw so cute! I always want to have a husky. Especially the gray with blue eyes. I wonder when is the time to have one.
