All the time! I foster dogs for a rescue. They usually come to be with a few issues. I sort them out to a greater or lesser degree, then they leave me for their permanent home and I start all over again Clearly I am bonkers

Your pup looks lovely. What's his / her name?

I find it easier with most of my foster dogs that in the initial settling in stages they are with me / us until they are more relaxed and confident. I usually crate them (depending on age and behaviour) and they sleep in our room at night. Not on the bed or the furniture. Once relaxed and happy, they don't feel the need to be with me all the time. However, this has to be done in a careful manner so as not to induce separation anxiety - you do NOT want that to happen.

Thankyou!!I have brought his cage into the lounge and he has instantly gone quiet. Am not making any eye contact with him!!LOL

I don't put our puppy to bed till we go to bed and she's always settled fine. She still wakes up early though.

Very cute pup Lottie!

[schmalex]

Very nice. Our new dog shat in the kitchen this evening. Dopey bd doesn't realise the re-homing center is only a phone call away

My first dog when I was a baby was a cocker spaniel. Too long ago for me to remember him that small though! Great pics, wll done you!
