Getting a new foster mom and litter this weekend

They are supposed to be 5 weeks old, there are 8 of them. I don't trust the ages until I see them, the last time I was getting 5 weeks old pups, it turned out that they were 10 weeks. We'll see when they go to the vet and get here. Dove's pups were adopted last weekend and they moved Dove to another foster. Mom is a chocolate lab, and pups are black and yellow. It will be interesting to see if they had a lab daddy, we may never know.

Sorry to rant on, but I love my fosters.

I foster cats and kittens. Coming up to my one year anniversary. My own two cats are used to it by now: one likes them and the other hisses and runs away.

You are the very backbones of the rescuers everywhere. Nothing in the animal world could work right if people were not willing to foster.

Know that you are appreciated!!!!
