Apologies for the long delay between blogs. We've been busy over here. Django recently went to his new home, and we fostered Cozy, a husky mix from Taiwan for about two weeks before he went home yesterday. Cozy marks our 80th foster dog adopted :)
He is also our last Victoria-based foster.
Jerrad and I have decided to move back to Saskatchewan to start a new chapter. Job opportunities are better, family (including Lemon) is back there, rent is somewhat cheaper and I could use a break from living and working with so many dogs to work on my Master's Thesis next year starting in September. After all, that's really what I'm supposed to be focusing on, especially when I pay quite a lot of money in order to take the classes. If I write the next Hunger Games or Harry Potter, I promise some of the proceeds will end up in rescue dogs.
So, we're hanging up our foster hats, given our rental notice, work notices and found a place to land for a few months (with the collies) to get some jobs and find a place to live more long-term. Who knows, we might be back out West sooner than later, but with Beckett gone it's time for us to try something new. It has been an adventure.
We'd love any and all updates from any of our old foster dogs, and are hoping to put together some kind of foster-get-together before we go.
Who knows what awaits us (besides a whole lot of snow) back in Saskatchewan. Life has a way of figuring itself out though, if you give it half a chance.
<3 always,
Emily, Jerrad, Jinks & Shane
Fostering dogs in Victoria, BC. Giving them lifeskills, cushy pillows, structure, confidence and copious snuggles. From chihuahuas to Rottis, to huskies and anything in between, amusing stories, mostly useless dog tips, and cute dog pictures abound.
