Monitoring food time and allowing the pups to learn safely that they need to mind their own kibble because in ris house we all ear together.
Being at the top can be a scary place when you're alone but when you have a friend there to support you, it can make all the difference - Ebony
Did we just become best friends?! Well, Ebony thinks they have, Spike is not so sure #uptonogood #bestfriends #puppylife #playtime #packtime #healthylifestyle #boundaries #padawan #littlehelper #rescuedog #furtheloveoffostering #hotmessfostermomma
Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. This is also breakfast #3 of the day.....in case you were wondering 🤣 #breakfast #puppies #hotmessfostermomma #furtheloveoffostering
It may not look like it but I'm actually setting the foundation for recall with this one. She thinks my feet are potential toys, but they're tools 😏. Ebony is cautious and calculated until she is confident in the situation, observant and watchful. As she grows in confidence with consistent exposure to "scary" items/situations, it's important always to be teaching basic skills like recall. Nothing scares me more than the thought of a pup out on an unscheduled and unsupervised galavanting session that could result in something terrible. So, recall, it's my #1 always skill.
The pitter patter of their little feets makes me laugh so much. Ivory (cream) and Ebony (black). Still they barely make a peep. We've heard small noises here and there. I'm not complaining 🤭😅 because I know when it comes, it's gonna be constant.
This is why I can't have nice things 🤣
Good morning and Happy Tuesday to all from your two local foster pups, Ivory (cream) and Ebony (black) who we've lovingly nicknamed Scuttlebutt and Snafu. Why you ask? Well because Ivory (scuttlebutt) is all about getting in your business and spilling the tea. She is in it to win it, no hold bars. Ebony (snafu) on the other hand is cautious until she has fully evaluated the situation and then watch out because she will trip you right up in between her laps around the room at full speed. Interestingly enough, both of them have barely made a peep and their prior foster has informed us of the same. Last night we actually heard tiny play noises for maybe 2 seconds so we know it's coming.
Smaller dogs really haven't been in my portfolio of fosters outside of the occasional small one here and there. I'm used to tug-o-war where I have to use upper and lower body strength where when the game is done we both got a work out. Having to reset myself to accommodate a two finger pinch like this is so foreign.
