We are fostering a 4 year old Labrador retriever and her 7 puppies. We took them in when they were 4 days old, they are now 6 weeks old. It has been a challenge as she is not house broken. She was rescued from a puppy mill because she was not getting pregnant and they were going to shoot her. She ended up at the PAWS shelter and low and behold was pregnant!
It has been a very rewarding experience and a good distraction from thinking about PCa.
Your QOL post inspired me to share this one.
You are a very special person!!! 🥰
awesome pic keep up the good fight
My wife and I have fostered human kids, but not dogs.... Once was a mom and 5 kids... couldn't lock them in the kitchen.... Have fun with your extended family.
LOL We have actually considered that. You are a good man Shooter.
hahaha, awesome! Love Dogs! But I'm sure I couldn't foster, or I'd have 8 dogs then! I couldn't give em' up 
Lol...
So I give you kudos!!!
i am with you! I love dogs so much I could never foster them. My wife and I almost drove to Dallas a couple of times in the last month 27hour drive from Boston to save two or three from the huge kill shelters there. I cry every time I see them in cages or even out running around knowing they are tagged code red. I had to stop watching them.
what could be more fun than a room full of puppy’s …. Wow … yayahahahaya yayahahahaya. Gonna keep you busy running after all those guys. Great stuff ….
😁😁😁
Buying those large, thick mil clear plastic disposable painters tarps and a heavy hand stapler can line any room ( utility room, bathroom ? ) and make them puppy pee / poop proof. Staple them up at least 12” on the walls too.
Do you gonna keep o r of those pups ?
Schwah
they all go back for adoption in 10 days
no temptation to keep one of those cuties?
only if the promise to remain puppies
I really think our two pups who get 10-20 minute walks 4x/day is part of my therapy. We live in a +55 condo with no yard so daily walls are not a choice (yes, in rain & snow). Enjoy the pups and good luck with the house breaking!
That is an adorable photo and you are both saints !!!
It may be too late for you...(laughing) but yesterday I just happened to hear a review of a book called "The Year of the Puppy"on the radio.

Late to this thread, but that's so wonderful 💙. And a great pic too
Been occupied with a Gofundme for a local 14 yr old, tragically died the other day. The Lil town has overwhelmingly responded
I have a lil comfort kitty and she's asleep on me right now.
What a great pic of two kind, lovely people, and a crew of cute canines! Bro, is the beautiful lady by chance your daughter?🤣?
Hope you can find good homes for those little guys?
Do you live in the Chicago area?
Our condo doesn't allow pets so we snuck this little girl in!
Cheers from the other side of the planet,
Ron
I'd be lost without Skye. Live in the moment.
Thank you for doing this…there are times when doing good does US good as well. Hope the pups are healthy and adoptable.
the pleasure is all mine

Thats adorable and terrifying in one shot. Love the puppies!! We have had more than1 dog foro our complete married life but 7 puppies at one time is madness 
Truly Madness but Nirvana as well.
Thank you for making my day! What a beautiful litter!
so adorable, good for you we need foster parents like you.
We rescued a lab soon after my DX. I told my wife I wanted a therapy dog. She has been invaluable on my journey!
beautiful!
Thank you for reaching out to helping these animals. Tells a lot about you and the family.
❤️🙏❤️
Credit to Coco, she found them. She has a big heart.
Good on you both. Our last 3 dogs have been rescues. My current dog person, Spencer, makes me walk him several times a day which is good for both of us.
Beautiful photo and well done you SheilaFx
So wonderful that you are doing this. We have rescued all of our dogs and they brought so much joy. When each one died, we found a hole in our hearts,,,,,,,,,,,,,so it makes me happy to see these pictures and know the love you are giving them.
I love animals as they bring so much joy to our lives.
When i was little, I had a pet mouse, rabbit, horse and 3 dogs. Each one gave me more than I could ever imagine.
You are such wonderful people............🌹🌹🦋🦋
You are good people.
Thanks. What is your status, how are you progressing?
I am stable per labs and recent scan. But you always feel like a ticking time bomb.
