Do you remember Angel, the beautiful little terrier that came in a few weeks ago? Well, I have been fostering and last weekend became officially known as a "failed fosterer"
I couldn’t bare the thoughts of letting her go, she had come on such a long way and I have fallen head over heels in love with her and so has the OH.
She has become my forever friend and my little girl and I am over the moon. Sadly though I am away and she is in kennels. She seems to be getting on great there, they sent me a text. But I miss her so much already and I really can’t wait to be reunited with her.
We all become failed fosterers at some point, I’m just delighted that it has been with her. She is the long awaited family member that I have been looking for. I promise to post photos when I get back, I have some really sweet ones of her.
Now off to do some retail therapy and see what treats I can bring home. Hitting Pet Stop tomorrow!
Here are some photos of the lovely Angel, who I am delighted to say have become a valuable member of the O’Grady household. We love our little girl so much and felt completely lost without her on hols.

I have to say that having Angel has brought so much happiness into my life. I felt completely lost not having her around me on holidays and just couldn’t wait to come home.
Everybody that meets her says what a beautiful dog she is. She isn’t fantastic with other dogs, but it is more fear but she has come such a long way. So much so that I had my neighbours dog out for a walk with us yesterday and then brought him back home and she wasn’t at all bothered.
She will start to whine a bit if a dog off a leash approaches and is much bigger than her, but her confidence has come such a long way. I can’t wait to have a foster come home as I believe it will do her the world of good.
I will update with more photos over time.
Its really amazing to see the gradual break throughs and confidence building in Angel.
I used to try playing with her and her toys, but she would sulk away and not be interested. But we had a breakthrough yesterday which was really fantastic.
Our friend was staying over with us yesterday and was trying to play with Angel. He would get her teddy and they would wrestle over it, then he would throw it and she actually went got it and brought it back to him. Usually if I did that she would just sulk away. Its really brilliant to see her learning to play again.
