So we've picked up Reuban - he's a 1 1/2 year old black lab. I was hoping we'd be a foster failure cause I really like him a lot and he's getting along great with Chase and Ranger - plus my son really fell for him quick (even though he knew we were just babysitting!) but it looks like my husband may have found him a new home already. It's funny cause I go on this forum and a few other dog related forums and it is nothing for people to have multiple (ie more than 3) dogs and every one of my friends here, plus my family, thinks I am crazy to want a third dog. (But really, who could not love this face?!?) Perhaps it's because we look a bit silly on our 5:30 am walks - me and my now three 80+ pound dogs. So I've told my son to enjoy Reuban while he's here cause he is a really great dog!

Thanks for letting me share.

He is pretty. I've been toying around with getting a third dog for a while. We have fostered almost 20 dogs in the last few years and while there are some you would love to keep (we do have 1 foster failure) it's really nice to see them go to a loving home and family that will really love them. Fostering is how I get my 3rd dog fix. If I really feel like I want one we go get another foster. After they are gone it is kinda nice to have the peace and quiet that comes with only 2 dogs.

Oh just wait.. First comes the third dog fix.. (ie Gumpy, foster failure #1) then comes the fourth dog you just can't help but to take in ( ie Jitter Bug, foster failure #2) ... I did tell my hubby that no matter what we are at our limit. Until we get a bigger place that is.

Well we have nine - as Chris counts.
I count 7 - 2 are really old and are mostly rugs :-)

So I am lobbying for another couple of jumping dog - Ultimate Air Elation

We live out on a golf course, have 1 acre fenced and a dog door for the dogs to run. We have taken out all the capeting, put down tile, buy dog food 100 lbs at a time, have a horse waterer, and our vet bought a new Porche.

Kinda have to change your life style a bit Cyclops

BUT
you don't need an electric blanket for the bed in winter rockin dog

Oh my goodness he's handsome! Hot Dawg

Great picture, put that on an adoption ad and he'll get applications in no time ... unless of course, you want to be a foster failure ... then don't use that picture Snickering
