4 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel) Molly suggested that I write this post after she saw an upsetting Facebook post. Someone she is following made a post talking badly about a shelter. Specifically, they complained about how a local shelter hasn’t upgraded the dog kennels despite improving other areas of the building. Molly isn’t …
ite about the positives of fostering a lot. She loves fostering dogs, and since I’m her dog, I tolerate it because I know it’s important to her. But I want to take a moment to discuss the less exciting parts of fostering. They aren’t reasons to avoid fostering dogs entirely, but they’re aspects you should be aware of before you care for a dog in need. (Click title to read more!)
3 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel) Hi everyone, I wanted to write a quick blog post about this topic because of something that recently happened to me. As some of you know, it was my birthday last week! But I didn’t write a post about it this year because I wasn’t feeling well. I …
e are many humans who don’t have them. Recently, I’ve realized this even more because our current foster dog, Sonny, needs a home with a fenced-in yard.

Hi everyone, it’s Mabel! I realized that I haven’t talked about our most recent foster dog yet, which is very surprising because Molly says he’s her favorite so far. I’m pretty sure she has said that about at least two other dogs too, but I’m pretty sure she means it. Sonny is our 14th foster …

Hi everyone, it’s Mabel! Luckily, Molly let me have a week to myself before bringing home another foster dog. But that week went by way too fast! Now, we’re taking care of our 13th foster dog, and his name is PeeWee. PeeWee is a 6-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix, but his personality isn’t what you’d …
I’m not a fan of my crate. I used to have to go in it all the time when Molly left, but now she trusts me enough to let me roam free. Yet, I still know to go in my crate on command just in case. Many humans think it seems sad to leave dogs in crates, but there are actually a lot of benefits to it. After fostering dogs, we’ve found that crates are even more helpful than we realized. So, here are some reasons to crate train your dog. (Click title to read more!)
Hi, it’s Mabel! Last week was a cause for celebration. While I didn’t talk about them much on here, we had two foster dogs throughout the past two weeks: Shelby (fka Caroline) the Beagle and Pixy the Shih Tzu. Within the same week, both Shelby and Pixy went off to their forever homes. While I’m …
