Well, more updated pics of Lil' Miss Jess.
It started with refilling pool for her but she decided the hose was more interesting this time.
And she was starting to have the lingering salty smell from the sea so it was time for a bath!
Did really well, stood still with no collar on while I bathed her, didn't look entirely impressed with it all of course.
Two minutes after, playing with the hose again!

Don't do it Angie - don't let her go!! We've had the most delicious little foster dog here for just 3 wks and I can't bare the thought of her leaving us now! I'm a failure as a foster mum - I know that now! To all those who do foster - WOW! - you're all truly amazing! I just don't know how you do it

Well I managed to part with young Devon, that broke my heart, it was the longest finalisation visit I have ever done and I was crying when I signed him over to his new owners. He was delightful but so very happy where he was. Skye was one that I could not part with. I had no intentions of keeping her for myself, I was only minding her I kept telling myself, however when it came to the wire I could not part with her. I smoothed her problems away and she became the sweetest little girl only to be struck by cancer at the age of three. My next foster was Miss Maya only 4-5 weeks old, She will be 6 next March - I failed in that fostering too. I now realise you never get the dog you want, you get the dog you need and it is never at the right time but boy are you glad they came into your life. I seem to have a big sign, visible only to GSD's with health issues, that says my place is where you go.

I too understand the heartbreak of giving up your foster babies. My first I'm sure at 7yrs of age had never had a kind word or a gentle pat in his life. He came with medical issues in his ears that were soon sorted with the right care and attention. When I took him over to Taupo to met up with his new Mum and Dad who drove down the line to collect him. As they drove away with him it really did rip my heart out to see him looking back at me in confusion as to what was happening. He now is a very happy and well loved lad. I have since loved and cared for other fur babies from the young to the very elderly. From behaviour issues to medical. It is never easy to say goodbye to them, but just knowing that I introduced them to love or kept them from spending Christmas on a cold concrete pound floor and have been a link in the love- chain for them till they find neverending love and care in their forever home...It is all worth it and I would let my heart be ripped out many times over to help these amazing German Shepherds. More times than not I have learnt more from them than I could ever teach them. Sorry if this does not make sense - still bit headie from general anaesthesia today...not bad for one finger typing tho eh!

Cheers All

I think it's amazing that you have recovered from anaesthetic so quickly that you can even attempt to type. Hope your surgery went well.

Special greetings to you and all dog lovers or the festive season

Dalmac, Shiloh #485, Jac rescued Lab (who arrived last Saturday) and the little GSD who arrived yesterday and who is holidaying with us while her Dad is away.

Zar, do you collect your girlfriends flags, their pride and joy as a trophy ?? Cause I did notice her flag was missing, so is that your, errr, trade mark of where you have "been"?
I'm only, apparently, allowed plutonic relationships wiff girly dawgs so I miss some of the finer points of what have you.
Confused for now
