So cute! I had a cockapoo for thirteen years, his name was Benji. What a great dog, he loved kids and people. We had to put Benji down sixteen years ago because his heart was giving out. I still miss him, he did so many cute things even putting his toys back in his box after playing with them. My neighbors Al and Jean would come over at Christmas with a basket full of new toys for Benji, he loved to open his own gifts. We had more fun watching Benji open his gifts than us opening ours.

I think the big birds are beautiful but that is a life long commitment so I would never get one. They live a very very long time

I do have to say being a foster is just as good for me as for them. Having a reason to get up in the morning is important and they are better than Prozac.;-)

Hi VA Beach.....that is where I live too. Wish I knew someone who wanted a dog, but all the family currently have dogs. This one is a cutie.

Thank you for being a foster parent for little fur faces. We have two little girls that were rescued and had foster moms for a short while. They were rescued from a breeder that kept them in a cage all the time. They didn't know how to climb steps, play, cuddle or any of the things most dogs can do. We are so lucky to have them, they have been with us for seven months and have turned into real little fur faces. One of them had four teeth that were broken with the nerves showing, she was in so much pain. But so happy now that we have gotten rid of those nasty things. Thanks again.

Hi back. Its all new and a little different for me. Way more people ,traffic, houses than I am use to.
Just keep her in mind she would be good for a quiet older person who has a pretty set schedule. And likes walks. she is very skittish and touchy. She doesn't like to be messed with except for pets . I am hoping to teach her that being handled is a good thing.
