Joys of fostering

This year my husband and I finally were able to do what we have wanted to do for some time. Become foster for itty bitty little kitties and puppies. It has been quite the roller coaster ride but so worth it.
We started of with 7, 4 week old kittens last May. No, "let's start slow" for us, we tend to just jump right in and do it. The house smelled, we didn't get much sleep, and our washer was constantly going. But man was it fun. Seeing those little balls of fully grow and learn and become such wonderful loving kitties was great. All seven found forever homes and we couldn't be happier.

This past week we brought a 5 week old little puppy in to the house. One puppy = seven kittens. Liked really, no lie. She is a handfull but such a good little dog. Loves to eat and be with her humans. We were all cuddling on the sofa watching movies last night. Don't think I have seen a happier pup.

I might want to add that our permanent resident cats were not cool with this at ALL. We have been bitched at, ignored and shunned by them for extended periods of time for bringing this sort of noise and smell into the house. When the kittens came, we were treated to such stink eyes as have never been seen by humans before. When the pup came however, they just looked at us like we were idiots. Maybe we are, but awesome idiots on my opinion. The cats and us don't often agree on things in this house. But it is what to be expected I guess.
