About 10 months ago.
This morning. Good thing he's just a big goofball! That's his cousin behind him, she's definitely the smarter of the two.

one of our foster failures, from 2015...
deaf and mostly blind, we had fostered her for more than a year, starting out as hospice care for a misdiagnosed cancer that turned out to be a bladder stone the size of your fist.
when she came to us, she did not look anything like a poodle, having lived as a stray on the street for we do not know how long.
finally, we adopted her and lost her 16 days later to kidney failure, but she had a real family, at least for a little while.
RIP, dear Mimi
my other favorite photo of her

Not a failure. You gave her love and a home. The pictures say it all.

Thank you, sir.
"Foster failure" is not considered a bad thing amongst those who foster
[it means that *we* adopted her, rather than finding another forever home for her]
Yes, she had a home and a whole lot of love
Still remember our shock, after getting her groomed. Before that, we thought she might be some kind of terrier mix. Have a photo, somewhere, but better to share our favorites.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ersatzknarf,

This.
You already know how I feel about it.
That was more like 10 years, in dog days.
Those was some quality time.

Yep, it's an infectious disease that we caught from cats a few years ago. The key to the cure is to admit, when you go into the relationship, that it's as permanent as God wants it to be.
