You are doing a WONDERFUL thing! ## _dlroberts · 2009-01-28T00:52:04.000Z Congrats Heidi! That's wonderful. She looks like a sweet girl. I can't wait for the spam. ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2009-01-28T01:14:08.000Z Wow she's gorgeous! Grats! Have fun :) ~ ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-01-28T09:58:40.000Z What a cute pup. A cattle dog and border collie mix? That is going to be one energy filled dog. ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-28T10:16:40.000Z How wonderful! Congrats! ## KFontaine04 · 2009-01-28T10:27:04.000Z Wow, that is a cute dog. What a great thing you are doing for her! I love working in rescue and hopefully once we move into the new house we can provide a foster home for a dog. It just warms your heart and soul! GREAT WORK HEIDI! What do the other dogs and kids think of your new addition? ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-01-28T10:34:13.000Z Thats wonderful for you! How does she get along with everyone? I concur with Brandon! Energy galore! ## sujewel · 2009-01-28T11:54:29.000Z You're an inspiration, Heidi! With two kids, three dogs and two cats you've still made time for a rescue! And Gem looks like a sweetheart of a dog...actually, all the pups at the rescue are ADORABLE. I'm in love with Lulu. ## sunyata · 2009-01-28T12:08:40.000Z I, too, am in love with Lulu! She is adorable. :) And so is Gem! Thank you so much for fostering her. I bet she will find a home quick. How are the kids (furry and non-furry) taking to the new addition? ## hondru (moderator) · 2009-02-10T13:45:07.000Z Gem has been spayed and is in her forever home! Unfortunately I never managed to get a decent picture. It seems every time I was outside with the pups, my hands were too busy for picture-taking. I'm currently fostering Matador, who was already being fostered by someone else, but they can no longer foster him. There's a couple interested in adopting him already so hopefully he gets adopted soon! Also, I told them to send some pit bulls my way. Noah says he wants a pit bull and I'm not arguing! Mat's page ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-02-10T13:49:19.000Z One adoption down and another one in the house. You guys are awesome. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-10T19:07:36.000Z That's amazing news Heidi! Your awesome! ## Darwin67 · 2009-02-10T19:25:38.000Z That is totally wonderful! She's a beauty, and I am certain she will find her forever home! I still can't top breaking down when I look at the listings....I'm a total mush when it comes to doggies. ## baanton · 2009-02-10T23:39:28.000Z Heidi: Mat is adorable! And looks like he is adoring his (albeit temporary) new living quarters with your pups! I'm sure the kiddos keep things going for him, too! Not sure where you get the energy for the dogs and the kids, but I applaud your big heart that you are extending to Mat, Gem and others! Thanks for sharing the pics! ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-02-11T11:01:58.000Z Mat looks like he's having a great time! Its awesome that your pack is accepting of him! ## sunyata · 2009-02-11T12:04:17.000Z Mat definitely looks like one happy pup! Glad that Gem found her forever home, and that you are able to do so much for these guys. How are the kitties liking the new additions? ## hondru (moderator) · 2009-02-11T13:21:07.000Z The kitties aren't much into the new dogs, but they're doing okay. Ridley sits up on his hind legs and sort of waves/swats at them if they get too close for his liking. Hester just avoids rooms full of dogs. ## Harlow · 2009-02-11T13:27:00.000Z It's great that you are fostering! Just be careful that you don't end up keeping them all! ## Leonberger (admin) · 2009-02-11T19:03:38.000Z Mat's a good looking guy! The Bialinger pups seems very hospitable to the new guy! ## hondru (moderator) · 2009-02-14T17:08:57.000Z Mat has been adopted! He's in his new home and has two other rescued dog buddies. I'm glad he's in his new home. He was a super dog. ## Kaddy · 2009-02-14T18:08:51.000Z Yay!!! That's great news!! :o) ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-02-16T14:59:51.000Z wow! that is great news! ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-02-16T16:01:31.000Z Another quick adoption. Nice job Heidi and fam. ## hondru (moderator) · 2009-02-21T12:45:47.000Z Now I've got my hands full... I have two more babies! I have Billie and Gwen from this litter of ten puppies. My hands are full now. ## Harlow · 2009-02-21T12:59:38.000Z Good job! Wow, 2 puppies at once. ## Leonberger (admin) · 2009-02-21T12:59:46.000Z They're so cute!! That must be loads of work. How are your kids reacting? (furry and non-furry) ## hondru (moderator) · 2009-02-23T03:43:51.000Z Isaac was too rough on the puppies, so they're with someone else now. Unfortunately, it seems that Mat is coming back into rescue, so he'll be staying with us again. ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2009-02-23T12:03:03.000Z While the circumstances are kind of crappy, I would take a foster dog over foster puppies ANY day. --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
