Updates from the Foster Front

Urchin had a great homecheck, but unfortunately the family decided the adoption fee was too high for them. That's okay, onwards and upwards. I know adoption fees can be daunting but reality is if you can't afford the adoption fee ($300-$500), you wouldn't be able to do much in an emergency for your dog. My two cents. Maybe not fair, but to me it just means the right family has yet to show up.

Urchin will be hanging out in Vancouver for a couple weeks while we're gone, but I believe there's an application in Vancouver for him now too. We'll see. He will be welcome back at foster boot camp once we get back from vacation.

And a big shout out to Mike who offered to take Beckett in while we're away. He will hang out with a happy Miika (she was so shy/skittish when we first met her, and the change is amazing!) and crabby pants Panda -our fastest foster- who is a total daddy's girl.

Otherwise life is good. Jinks is turning into Beckett's dog, and Lemon is turning into my dog but that's okay. Jinks can definitely benefit from learning from the old man and to be honest I'd rather her learn from him than Lemon -she can be a bit of a jerk by times whereas Beckett doesn't have a mean bone in him.

I'm hoping to get some good video of Urchin tomorrow if it's not downpouring. He is growing like a weed and is building muscle quickly. He was a low-energy dog when he first got here and he's definitely at least a medium energy level dog now. It's possible he could be a medium-high dog when all is said and done.

Don't worry Urchin pup, sometimes it takes a little longer to find your people, but when you find them you'll never look back.
