That's too bad, Iris. I had a dog like that that ate EVERYTHING. She even ate money that she found falling out of a pocket on the clothesline. We had to take the half money to the bank and they replaced it, luckily.

Well, now Bitsy can go to the right home for her with the information you can provide. It's nice of you to keep her until her tummy issues are resolved. And someone will be very grateful to get her.
Now to find your wonderful older dog! The fun begins.
Over here, Lucy aka Cupcake is doing great. She did very well last night despite some loud fireworks and this morning she's a spunky playful little thing. Yesterday I didn't walk them, it was too hot by the time we were up and about, and I noticed she coughed and hacked more than usual. I'm going to see if exercise helps with her heart issues. I'm just amazed at what a sweet little thing she is and how well she's blended into our dog pack. They love to curl up together and sunbathe.
Have I thanked you guys for all your help and wisdom?
Geila, I am glad it worked out. I have found with dogs no matter how great your home is the fit is not always right for a dog. A different home will have a better outcome. Good to know your limitations too. I used to take too many dogs because I couldn’t say no. When I had 4 old dogs I resented spending so much money on medications, vets, etc. Plus the time. Now 2 is perfect for me.
You're right, TT.
Now that Lucy's part of the family, it looks like my foray into fostering is done for a while. Two weeks! That's how long I lasted. I'm going to focus on giving the little Cupcake as much love and cuddles as possible and taking care of her in her old age. Hopefully the rest of the furbabies will be robust and healthy for a long time. And with any luck, the aging/decline process will be spread out among them, rather than all at once.
