Happy Father's Day Foster Dad

Although he's not the blogger, Foster Mum is not complete without Foster Dad. Where would we be without the driver, Mr. Patience, Mr. "Okay, bring another in, we'll find room", Mr. Get up and walk a couple extra dogs in the mornin?. A lot of the dogs, just by proxy of time spent with them, end up being "my" dogs, but Jerrad has his share of dogs that would much rather hang out with him. Mostly, he's gathered quite the following of Chihuahuas.

Jerrad's obvious fosterlist includes:

Yayis -she was scared of me, but would follow Jerrad everywhere
Chula & Netty -the dynamic Chihuahua Duo, that would cuddle with me, but much preferred Jerrad
Alvin -the PB Chi who needed to learn how to be a dog and not a lap ornament. He bugged me until the very end, but Jerrad always managed to put up with his crazy Chihuahua-ness.
Rupee -who would whine for him whenever he left the room. She was even named "Chigroupie" as she was his fan girl. Her name was later shortened to just Rupee.

And most recently, and possibly the biggest Daddy-Dog, was Jasmine. From the very beginning right up to when she left, she was always Jerrad's dog. She got comfortable with me, and enjoyed hiking with me, but was never my dog inside.

So to my husband-in-training, and the ultimate foster Dad, this post goes out to you.

Love Emily + Tucker, Yayis, May, Honey, Tine, Xena, Toast, Buster, Gio, Evee, Trunk, Dayo, Ren, Chula, Antoinette, Hank, Lemon, Adam, Panda, Allie, Alphie, Alvin, Helen, Chowmein, Jasmine, Zephyr, Migo, DimSum, Pika, and Rupee. Oh, and of course Mr. Beckett.
