Awwwwwwww, Rena Finch looks soooo happy! And, pride of place right next to the radiator! And, she’s kept her cushion ……..thrilled! Keep up the good work

[Boomdog]

I’m still doing it! And I will be walking [/quote:3bpwtk5p]

Great! Shall we get DID Tshirts? x I’m gonna reister now!

[Boomdog]

I have asked the organizers of the marathon and this is what they have advised that in both situations:

1: walk with baby in the buggy
2: are Dogs allowed

They will not be able to accommodate both situations due to health and safety reasons.

Unfortunately, its a no on both scenarios! [/quote:38f88oqh]

Oh no, a bit premature with my replies there
That’s a pity on all counts …Anyone still up for doing it?

[Boomdog]

Hey all! I would definitely be up for doing this but I’m afraid I will come under the headin of "Walker:Open to all – no qualification time required. Minimum age 14 years" as I’m expecting ..Would anyone else feel like pounding(ish) the pavement with me for DID? Would love to get some company email me at myrahayesgo@gmail.com

Hi Marc
We had the same situation with our last foster but it only seemed to be if someone passed the house or woke her. It became a tiny bit worrying as our neighbours had small kids and early starts…Not sure what it is, probably changing the bed is the best thing. We moved our little fellow into the front room that’s sealed off in he back of the house and that seemed to work..Don’t worry about the utilty being that cold- you’d be surprised how resilient the pooches can be..Sorry, I can’t be more help..Think it’s just part of the process..Best of luck

Aw, the lovely Finch…..We had been calling her Nicky for so long that she started reponding to it…She headed off to her happy ever after home today with Rena and her lovely family in Malahide.. She was a ball of (great) energy and she was constantly running around in circles and on the move..Her little nails used to tap around on the wooden floors like she was wearing heels! But, when Rena and co. came to visit last week she just seemed to stop and lay at her feet- it was the strangest and sweetest thing I think I have ever seen…It was almost like she was waiting for her…We feel such a sense of accomplishment when our beautiful fosters finds their well deserved happy ever after home and it fills your heart with pure joy! They will never know how much they give to us and how much they enrich our lives ..Nicky, I know you’ll be great with the Rawluk family and you’re always in you’ll always have your red chair here …xxx

EvaGun so happy to hear Farrah has found her happy ever after…We had her earlier on this year as a foster and she was so much fun, big personality with an even bigger heart…very playful also she used to nip at our dogs tail and it gave him great training to be more relaxed and more sociable…Also very funny to watch Give her a a big hug from us x

[attachment=0]1.jpg Just a little update on the lovely Finch…she’s doing fanyastic, ofcourse! She went through a strange few days of chewing that came out of nowhere and resuted in the loss of a few remote controls but it’s passed now- thank goodness and there’s no real harm done. She now answers to sit and gives the cutest paw when she needs to get to the kitchen for water..very clever little lady..We had a full house for Christmas and she kept everyone fully entertained..Such a friendly, sociable and placid pooch This is her catching some rays outside a few days ago with our own dog "Boom" they get on so well x
Oh, we have also discovered that she likes to forage in the bush and when we walk the park she likes to take the route through the hedges and she loves it but always comes when she’s called- she really is no trouble x

Our little buddy headed to the vet this morning to get neutered – I was hoping to bring her along tomorrow night at the exhibition or even next Thursday at the album launch but she’ll be lying low for a while (getting pampered and fussed over

Well update again soon

[Boomdog]

Hi Justine,

We are hoping to be there between 5 and 5.30 on Thursday. You are more than welcome to be there earlier and appreciate any help. We are hoping to have a good turn out at the event so we will need help with talking to people about DID and shaking the bucket.

Thanks a million.

Hi Inga

I’ll be there for 5.30 with our dog Boom. I was hoping to bring alomg our little foster but she recovering from neutering so will be out of action for a few weeks ;-(

[Boomdog]

I’m delighted she found her forever home, I hope you’re doing ok after letting her go, when we went to visit her, we really thought she’d end up staying with you guys, she was so attached to Boom!

BTW, I’m still telling everyone I meet about Boom’s tv habit! I’ve never seen anything like it!

We’re still on the look out for a brother or sister for Bram, hopefully he won’t be an only dog for much longer.

Only seeing this post now- I have finally figured out how to use a forum properly- next stop, the 21st Century!

great to meet you guys a few weeks back and ofcourse Bram, what a little dote …It’s amazing how you ended up taking him in- you stumbled across each other and I bet his glad that happened!
Really hope you find a buddy for him soon x M

[Boomdog]

Excellent that she has at last find her forever family.

Yes its hard as a fosterer and even more so when its your first dog.
What is important is that as foster parents you can always look back and realise that you were a major part in saving a life.
That is something you will never forget and I have to say it’s a lovely feeling knowing you made a difference.
I just wish more people would do it.[/quote:o8p79sya]
Thanks for your kind words Twist..Yes, we got a little sad for a day or so but when you then get a chance to foster another it makes it all worthwhile. I was tipping through the pasrk the other day with our current 2 and I thought that there’s no better feeling in the world than to see a little pooch transform after being saved from the pound- Yes, fostering does a lot for them but hthey have no idea how much they do for the us- def agree with this research that dogs are great for your mental health!

Can I pop my name down for this also- I can bring the little foster I have at the moment- eventhough, she is a little nervous. Maybe I could bring our own happy endings dog that we got from DID a few years back?….Anyho, let me know, would be delighted to help out!

[Boomdog]

This is lovely Finch. We got her from the pound just over 2 weeks ago and the poor thing was terrified. She didn’t eat for a whole day so we gave her a nice warm shower and after a good night sleep she came bounding out of herself. She had not name so we called her Nicki Minaj as she has a big old butt and lots of personality! Roll on a few weeks and she’s a new dog, loves running in the park, taking short swims and napping ..She a real sociable dog and very passive and playful with other dogs incl our own, Boom. The vet thinks she’s 2-3 years but I think she’d be perfect for an older couple or person as she’s really not that high maintenance but that’s only my own humble(untrained)opinion, I’m sure DID will know better. She will be representing at Cathy Davey’s launch in Terenure next Thursday the 6th so you can all meet her then. In the meantime enjoy the lovely pics !

Our beautiful Farrah has found her Happy Ever After with Joan..We’re so thrilled as they seem to get on so well but we are also a little sad as it’s our first foster to hand over…We fell in love with this dark knight instantly and she will always have us but we know she’s going to a great home where she will be treated like a King (Or queen even)…Great work by DID another life saved!
