It's official.


I've been fostering Jane for Glen Highland Farm for 10 weeks (detailed on Journey of a Dog blog). And now? I suck at it! But I totally own up to being a foster fail.


Jane has such a huge heart for a little dog and this light in her eyes that is too incredible for other people to not experience with her and for her to not share with other people. I took on the challenge and I really want to continue to help her get there. Molly and Ben are amazing models for her and I’m learning something new every day and having tons of fun working and playing with her to build her confidence and comfort. No worries... Molly and Ben have given their nod to the little one coming to stay. So this is an official "Welcome Home" to Jane.


Welcome Home Jane!

(You're right where you wanted to be all along.)

Re-enforced

Me me me,  I want!

No! ME ME ME I WANT!

Ok. We'll be nice and sit pretty!

Working with foster Jane means I have the treat pouch at the ready almost all the time. This fact is not lost on Molly or Ben. Working on Jane's recall seems to have re-enforced a very very enthusiastic recall with Molly and Ben. I'd say B O N U S!

In one's company






Little Jane is our 1.5 year old border collie foster dog. Yeah we've been a little bit quiet about her over here at dogzoomies... but we've been writing about her over at Journey of a Dog

Aren't Ben and Jane just cute hanging out like that? See what you don't know is that in all these years I have had Ben (he's 13 now) he just doesn't like other dogs (even Molly) in his sleeping space. He was never a jerk about it... he would simply get up and move and find another place to snooze that's not so crowded. But not so with Jane! For a young whippersnapper she is remarkably polite and soft-footed around Mr. Ben. It's very sweet. And he really doesn't look like he minds at all.
