What's funny about the current menagerie is that everybody's white. My own Maltese, Chica, is white with a touch of gold on her back and ears. My foster cat Sugar is pure white. And the poodles are white.
While they're not exactly leash-trained or housebroken, I think we've made some progress in the two weeks the poodles have been here. Now I hook leashes on them and we walk together, including the cat who likes to stalk us as we stroll through the condo complex. I just let the poodles' leashes trail behind them because they stick right with me, but I plan to start holding the other ends soon. I read somewhere it's a good way to leash-train an adult dog.
As always I'll feel a great loss when they're gone, but that's just part of being a foster mom, I'm told. I'll get over it.

Yes, you will miss them. But there are always others in need of a friend. It's a wonderful thing you're doing.

sugar looks as sweet as ever ;-) the poodles are darling-they look teeny tiny next to chica. how is she doing? how old is she now? seems like yesterday chris and i were swimming out to your boat. steve and i are now in kingsport, tn where chris and his fiancee abby will be getting married on sunday. lots of family coming from different parts of the country.
i spent 1 week with matt in l.a. then we went to lake stevens for 5 days. met with cynthia at an ihop near our hotel. she asked if we still kept in touch. it was nice seeing her.
today was the first day i got to kick back and relax a bit. the rest of the vacation i have been constantly on the go, but you know i love keeping busy.
keep up the great work with all those little ones. you know they need you.
