Foster house guest #70! Meet Luigi. Horrible back story, and I think he will be with us a while, but he’s had a good long sleep, discovered roast chicken (paws up to that) and is getting used to the quiet.

Buy this book! I don’t tend to by courtroom dramas but I’m so glad I did - this one is gripping!

Wish us luck - the foster Twits have their first meeting with potential adopters this morning! After months with us it will be strange when they’ve gone, but they’ve come so far and I’m proud of them. (Image of two foster dogs being ruthlessly put through their behaviour training 😂)

Foster pups 68 and 69 are still with us - all settled in and ruling the roost! Looking forward to Blue Cross finding a loving home for them both.

Foster pups, Frankie and Millie, are really settled in and their personalities are shining through. Frankie (left) won’t learn that Millie will always get him into trouble and be nowhere to be seen when he’s found out 😂

Stan, Foster dog #1, 60 dogs ago. Stan was a stray, in poor health initially but was a lovely soul who settled in straight away. Once back to health he was adopted and thrived in his new home. No longer with us but a very special place in my heart and on our fostering journey. #Adoptdontshop
