On Saturday, I picked up this little guy from the airport who arrived from a country pound about 1186 kilometres away.
I'm terrible at picking the mixture of breeds in dogs like this (and most rescues are, you don't see a lot of poodles slumming it in the pound - unless they're from dodgy breeders, don't get me started) but he is very tiny and cute, only 8 weeks old.
I'm not sure if we will be fostering him full time as we both work full time and he is too small to be outside all day with our boofa of a dog Ebs. At the moment he is living in the bathroom while we're out with a few toys and comfy comforts.
But we do get to name him which I haven't done yet for any fosters!
Some possible names being thrown around at this stage: Panda, Rambo, Muscles, Newman, Danger Mouse. We try and give unique and not the usual doggy names as most of the time there will be around 100 dogs looking for a family at any one time on our rescue groups books so if there are 5 Sams it makes things more difficult.
My kitten on the right there is Sabrina, a foster I decided to adopt and she is still only about 6 months old so he really is small.
We'd had a break from the fostering while I was away and we were looking after my mum's dog and I got used to not having the stress of wondering if cords were being chewed, the backyard destroyed, 4 hourly feedings, making sure the dogs don't get into the kitty litter etc etc.
I do enjoy the puppy cuddles though. And for the record that is not my arm below.

SO CUTE! I can't stop looking at him.
Awwww congratulations :) SUPER CUTE
We've gone with Rambo. He does think he's a little tough guy!
He's so cute! I'm going to vote for him to be named Danger Mouse!
Saturday, my boyfriend and I found a yorkie in the middle of the highway. We picked her up and took her to the animal shelter. It made me so sad because she was wet and dirty, had no collar, and was in the middle of a busy highway but no one else had stopped. :( I hope someone claims her or she finds a new home soon. She was so dang friendly and ran right for the car when we stopped. Poor thing.
Ah. I just saw that you named him Rambo. That was my second choice. I like when little dogs have hyper masculine names!
Yeah I liked Danger Mouse but I don't think it was the practical choice! I've got some more pics I could put up but I run this risk of this blog being all about my fosters!
It's great that you stopped, I always try to (to my detriment) because if my dog got out, I'd want someone to help.
