Willow and Wyatt are still with us and still continue to make progress everyday they are here. It is much harder to adopt a pair but i am determined to keep them together for their sake. They have really settled into our routine here. It will be sad when the day they will be adopted but at the same time it will be so sweet for them.

We have taken in another foster named Brewster. He is absolutely sweet and too cute. I know i wont be fostering him for long. He was surrendered due to divorce and really he was the last on their priority list. He started acting out because of the lack of attention this poor boy didn't get. I have had him since Sunday and he has been nothing but pure joy. I would keep him myself, if i didn't already have 4 dogs. Willow and Wyatt are doing well. It is hard to find anyone to take them together so i have made the tough decision to find them seperate homes but there has to be another dog in their new home to make them feel secure.

Willow and Wyatt are doing really good. Willow really opened up last nite. She got stuck behind the couch and afterwards she kept coming by me. It was like someone turned a switch on the dog. Weird. I will see how she does today. Maybe it was just a coincidence. I hope she decides petting is a good thing. I am going to work on getting Wyatt to "sit" this week. He is pretty focused now.

Yesterday, i sat in the xpen with Willow to see if see would target my hand for treats. After a few seconds, i think she felt okay to touch my hand. Of couse, i didn't make eye contact and had to sit sideways so as not to imtimidate her. I was happy with a few touches to my hands. Slow progress with her but still progress. Wyatt is willingly targeting my hand and is now making eye contact when i bring out the treats. Yeah!  The rest of the dogs are so excited when i get the clicker out. They are offering all kinds of behaviors for a click and treat. So i'm thinking they are going to like this fostering thing since mom brings all the GOODS out when they are here.  They all  breifly acknowledge each other but otherwise just ignore each other. When Wyatt was snuggling up on the couch with me, i saw Paco try to get Willow to play with him. She sniffed him a bit but that was it. i am letting the dogs explore the kitchen and living room. For the most part, Wyatt just wants to snuggle on the couch by me and Willow searches for him for awhile and when she realizes he is hanging out on the couch, she then will settle down on the floor where we are. They are both easily startled but i think it will get better with time. I took the dogs for a long walk yesterday and today. They are doing really good. Mostly they follow behind me. They aren't quite confident to be along side of me yet. It really does help that my dogs show them what to do.  Later this week i will be putting the dogs up on Petfinder so they will be available for adoption. I think i will be taking Wyatt to a meet and greet in Fon du lac  at the Petsmart on Saturday. I'm hoping he will get adopted soon. He really is a little love bug.

Willow and Wyatt have been doing really good the last few days since their arrival on Sunday. They are learning to walk on a leash and what is like to snuggle up on a couch.  They both decided they like toys and chews. They are meeting new people and dogs at the shop.It is very heart warming to see them experience what the good life has to offer them. They both have a hearty appetite. They are keeping their pen clean which i am thrilled about and are going potty right away when they go outside. Today i am going to the Milwaukee Pet Expo. Our rescue group will be there. I won't  take the dogs just yet. This is a BIG event and would be too overwhelming for them. But i have a picture of the two cutie patooties to show people in case they are interested in adopting a pair of dogs. Wish me luck!
