| Anybody else do rescue? I was just wondering because about 2x a year I start getting overwhelmed and depressed about having a Pee house and all the barking and noise and confusion and lack of sleep and stepping in poop and blah blah blah! So I wondered if it was me or does anybody else who does rescue feel guilty for thinking NO MORE! Of course i always say this and then next thing you know I'm full up again and just love all the furbabies again. Just tired I guess. My house isn't really a pee pop house it just feels that way because I'm always cleaning up after one of the furbabies. I actually have a pretty clean non-smelly house considering all the human and fur kids. LOL.. I guess it's lucky I have a super sensitive smelling nose so i usually can track down a smell before anyone else gets a chance. Sighhh just venting I guess because I feel like this every beginning of Winter. I think I just need to try harder to home these little guys and stop working so hard on making them the perfect dog for adopters. I keep them too long and then get so attached to each and everyone of them Truth is I love what I do ...LOL.. It's just some days Everybody is pooing at once and I'm scrubbing every thirty seconds and it gets to me Plus I rehomed 2 babies this weekend and now I miss them...

| you are not a dork! I think anyone who does rescue on the level that some of you here do are heroes and yes, you are allowed to vent! |

I do have a friend who fosters and heaven surely has a special place for those who do! She is so patient and loving with those poor babies and you can just see it in those little eyes! It just has to be so rewarding to watch the little abused bodies as well as the spirits heal. We have been fortunate to meet some of them and to see their sweet little personalities begin to emerge. It's exciting and heartbreaking at the same time! It's just so hard to imagine that anyone could ever be cruel to these sweet little babies! There absolutely should be a special day for "Foster Mom's & Dad's"!! I for one would like to thank you for what you do!!

| I don't do rescues but wish I could. I feel the way you do sometimes just trying to keep up with my four though! Sometimes I think, what in the world were you thinking...to keep two puppies...then on other days I feel so sad and miss the four I sold SO much it hurts! Especially when I get new pics of them Some days I can't get enough of them...and some days they are just TOO much, LOL! Hang in there!! If I only had two I would certainly consider doing rescues. I think you have a HUGE heart!!!

| Your not a dork I think everyone feels that way some times. Im not a rescue Well Hubby thinks we are we do pick up every stray we see and theres always drop offs here we clean them up have them checked out if we think they need it . Then find them homes. So I guess we are in a way. |

| I just have to say how I admire you!!!!! Thanks for taking these babies in and picking the perfect forever home. I really think you are an angel. Anytime you want to vent about potty problem in the house, go ahead, I'll listen. I only have one furbaby and have no excuse for having accidents in the house. You are entitled to have accidents. And remember, you can always tell any one who comes to your home who thinks it is less than perfect - the dogs live here and you are just visiting.

| I do rescue dogs . Sometimes it is very rewarding , other times it is total sadness because the pups or adults die . Recently , I lost a baby Pomeranian and I said that I will stop for a while . On Sunday , I have had another one . Look what I am doing now . |
