She mentioned work a few times.

Yes there are out of pocket costs for fostering. I pay for all food, toys, clothes, grooming, leashes, gas for driving them to the vet, pretty much everything BUT vetting. We don't get paid back for any of it. We do it as volunteers.


The turkey bone thing always made me wonder. Out of all the yorkies I've had fostered, plus mine, Uni is the best trained one. She would NEVER eat out of the trash, off the counter, etc. If Lilo was so well trained, why would she go in the trash? And I assume if it's a bone, it was trash.

Trash cans are easy to get to for dogs. It's in their line of sight and I'm sure hard to pass up. I should know, Toto has raided the trash several times. Last time I was lucky he only ate stale bread on the top layer and got so excited he didn't realize the chicken skin and chicken bones one layer underneath.

Would a puncture in the intestine or stomach cause a dog's heart to stop? I'm asking for real, I don't know. Did she ever say they got an x ray to prove it was a bone or obstruction? Did she ever say why they thought it was a bone?

On her fb she posted she needed to rehome her fosters because of her eye issues. When she started that fund raiser.
