Threw my hat into the foster ring. The Governor.

[AllisonPitbullLvr]

So, hubby and I couldn't agree on whether we should get a puppy. We both had good points. So we compromised and decided to foster instead. Here is The Governor. He is a great little pup. Seriously.

Also, having a 7 year old dog, a 10 month old baby and a pup is an interesting experiment. lol

I've been following him on FB. He is adorable! I'm so happy for you (and him) that you could foster him!

 

[AllisonPitbullLvr]

Thanks Megan! It's been fun so far! I just wish the weather was better so we could get outside more. He's a wimp in the cold and snow.

He's adorable! Looks like a great first foster!

Can't wait for more pictures/to see where he ends up. Thanks for fostering!

Thanks! He's not my first, he's just my first since getting pregnant. Before that, I fostered quite a bit.

HE IS SO CUTE!

Seriously, that face just melts my heart.

So, how is having the baby and the puppy? If timelines go as planned, I may be there in the next 1-2 years.

It's not as bad as I thought I would be! It would be easier if the baby wasn't so clingy and also so busy and if we had less snow and warmer temperatures. If it were summer, it would be a breeze to have both! But we have about 3-4' of snow in my yard and it's been pretty cold and the pup only wants to be out long enough to potty.

The only difficult part is teaching the pup to be calm and gentle with her when she's crawling. He wants to bite her feet and ears. So we are mostly keeping them somewhat separate (when he's wound up, she's in her high chair or I'll hold her until he's calm and then they can be on the floor together with supervision).

He is freaking adorable!!! Dare I ask....is he named after The Walking Dead character?

 

[Laurelin]

So so so cute!

 

[Ozfozz]

He's so adorable!!!
Awesome name too




Side note - I just typed "ears" for the answer to "How many ears do dogs have?" I think I need a nap.

That is a freaking cute puppy. Like, omigosh. I bet he'll be snapped up in an instant.

 

[Dagwall]

Oh my **** he's adorable.

He is indeed! The whole litter and their mama got TWD names. Mom is Michonne, there is a Carol, a Glen, a Hershel... I forget the 5th name though.

Gov was abnormally quiet yesterday. Then started retching. Then was flat. Took him to the vet in town last night, gave him barium in case of gastroenteritis or foreign body.

He was still flat this morning. Took him to the clinic from which I am currently on maternity leave. Tested positive for parvo.

If you can't donate, could you please share his chip in page?

Ahhh I'm so sorry…poor guy

 

[DJEtzel]

Oh no.

The rescue doesn't have funds for something like this? :-/

 

[AllisonPitbullLvr]

Yes, they do and he's being treated. But this will eat up a lot of the budget. We have to fly almost every dog in the rescue out of Ontario. It ain't cheap.

 

[Laurelin]

Oh man, I am so sorry.

 

[teacuptiger]

Dang, I'm so sorry. I hope he gets better really quick! He's such a cute lil guy

 

[speedydogs]

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that
