Susie needs a Foster Home

[Jaime]

so what sense does it make to take on something not fit for your situation or experience only to dump them anyway?

Hey, here's an idea---If you're worried about your kids, don't foster.

excellent idea.

I like the thought of knowing they all die unloved, instead...

without me having even tried because I "knew my limitations."

"I heard you say that before Geneia and I have one problem with it. As a Mother I am VERY careful what animals I bring into my house. Before I even consider stepping up to foster I make sure that dog is a good fit for my home. I would NEVER take in a female as long as i have Jess. I would NEVER take a dog aggressive dog. I would NEVER take a nursing mother. I would never step up for a litter of puppies. I do whats most important up front to try to ensure that my children are safe. All to ensure that the dog I fdo take in will be able to stay with me as long as needed and my family is safe."



I agree with all of this except the litter of puppies part, although I will only take small litters and yes, I have kids.

ahhh, but do you work??

I do indeed.

Youre a better women then I, Dear, theres NO possible way I could manage.

[hoagiesmomma]

well, jaime...

its good to see grace is seeing the light of day.



oh. yeah...

and that you are being SOOO cautious about keeping a mother with pups isolated.


one photo does not a passive dog EDIT: make (not wait).


you'll see.

Hey, here's another idea---offer to help and not be able to follow through.

[Jaime]

and if you want i can post pics of her and sara playing fetch, or tug-of-war, or just plain playing-- i have those pics too

well, jaime...

LOL!!! Actually I DO know you better than that, and yet I didn't take it as a dig, . . . go figure . . .

wow Jamie, you always come in just in time to stir the pot. How do you do that? magik?

[Jaime]

my how bitter you are... grace is very much a puppy herself-

there was no need for "curing" in her case.

you made her out to be a monster and look at her...

this dog that you came on this board and suddenly cared about yet before you were making all kinds of rude names for her and complaining constantly

about the smell, puppy poop, GRACE etc, etc, etc

about how your situation wouldn't allow this to go on...

so that it my point- you can relate to mel's situation and that is why you defend it

jaime...

well done.

you've CURED the BEAST.



you, my dear, are TOTALLY AWESOME.

[hoagiesmomma]

wow Jamie, you always come in just in time to stir the pot. How do you do that? magik?

hahahahah

no. lurking.

[hoagiesmomma]

jaime...

how funny that you can see quite clearly how kimba didn't work for you and somehow blame MELANIE for that...

*hmmmm*

you have NO IDEA how grace behaved here. none. zip. zilch. nada.

imagine kimba...

but with pups.

then...

Wait... Im confused and I hate being misunderstood.

When you replied that we had different circumstances, I become confused because i wasnt talking about you, so I thought you took offense. Your reply after that has me even more confused.. and i dont want to put a wedge where there isnt one..

Did I do something wrong and not realize it? Thats been known to happen with me.

[hoagiesmomma]

I don't know about her, alma...

but you can clear everything up with me by posting that pic of your hey nonny nonny, again.

You're killing me, . . .

After I said I had a job, you said I was a better woman than you---thus my response that I wasn't, but that we just probably have different circumstances.

No offense taken what-so-ever.
