not potty in her kennel at night, is good around kids and likes to
play with Cooper, her foster Corgi brother. Except when she pushes him off his ottoman for the best window watching seat.
starts doing doing figure eights in the living room, Cooper just stares
at her like she’s crazy. (Sounds like somebody didn’t get the frap
gene).
unless you want to chase her. Cassie shows signs of separation anxiety; she’ll bark the entire time she’s left in a kennel alone at home. Her foster Mom notes “We have found that if just gate her in the hall
or leave her out in the house, she does just fine. She hasn’t torn
anything up or pottied as a punishment while we were gone. Cassie probably needs a family/someone who is home often or comes home for
lunch.”
Let’s hear it for the boys! This past Sunday they celebrated the one year anniversary of Rooster’s “Gotcha Day”.
They had a great year together, these two. No doubt Dillon grew to love his boy as Corgi Connection of Kansas founder Jeanette did. “He was a favorite of mine” she writes. “It was so hard to let him go.”
Sadly, while he was chasing squirrels on Monday, Rooster took leave of this world. Intently focused on chasing varmints, he didn’t see the danger in the road; the driver didn’t see him in time.
Accidents happen. Life tries and tests us.
What was no accident was the year he and Dillon spent enoying life side by side. Three hundred and sixty five precious days of it.
There’s a Rooster shaped hole in a few hearts right now. Please keep him and the people who loved him most in your thoughts and prayers this week. They need our care and understanding.
Frap on in celestial fields, beautiful Rooster.
Those corgi's who are looking for forever homes why can't they stay where they are. It's really sad they think they are in their forever homes and then to be roosted out of them again? Especially the corgi with the brother. I think they would be crushed to be separated. I'm sorry I have a big heart and it hurts me to see so many animals homeless and when I see two corgi's who are perfectly happy where they are it just seems very sad to up root them again. That's why I don't foster dogs I would get too attached. I wish I could adopt Cassie but I can't until I have my transplant. Hope you end up doing the right thing let them stay where they are.
Anonymous,
Foster care is time limited because there are always new dogs coming in who need homes. Fosters take care of the dogs until they can be permanently re-homed, thus making room for newly arrived dogs. They then will wait their turn in foster care until they too can get placed.
As Jeanette pointed out, it can be very hard on the fosters too when they have to let them go. I couldn't foster, either. I get too attached. But these folks are saving lives and making sure dogs don't linger in shelters.
So sorry to hear about Rooster. How tragic and sad. Condolences to his family.
Poor Rooster's family. We have a Pen/Blue Heeler mix. He is the best dog we have ever had. Our Cardi is working on it. I would take Cassie in a heartbeat. Wish I were closer and could see her.
