Confessions of a First Time Foster

Message from Marilyn:

Darcy slept in a crate in our room last night and slept like a baby. She ran out with the pack this morning and went to potty. She is actually running around the house. She won’t come to me and when I pick her up, she still freezes, but she seems quite content on her little bed. This is a whole new world to her. She is afraid of Fred, which is very unusual. He went to take her out and she wouldn’t go until I came too, then she just pranced out the door. I can’t believe she was pregnant when the other rescue picked her up and now I see on the folder that they also pulled many teeth. I don’t want to even imagine what her life was like at the mill…too hard to think about. Miss Darcy is still very shy, but likes to follow me around and when I look at her she goes the other way. We just took our nightly walk and she is doing so much better on the leash. I let her run the yard with the pack during the day, but will keep doing the leash thing at night. She is eating well and seems content, not happy, but content. This is going to take some time, but we have time and lots of love.

Lester is doing good. He is making improvements everyday. I am getting really attached to that little guy - he is absolutely a joy. We got a kick out of him playing and running with my other dogs through the water sprinkler today. Also he has discovered the fun of tearing around the yard 100 miles an hour !!! He is such a blessing.
