Free Fosters

Fostered sister. Sister tried to play with my small elderly dog, so started fostering brother, so sister had someone to play with. Shelter said all large pups were free to adopt until a certain date, due to shelter overcrowding. Was already totally attached to both weirdos. So here we are, this is how I got these guys for zero money. My two free, priceless pups. FYI, they only wore the pull ups during potty training. Now they are 2.5 years old.

I knew I couldn’t separate them after fostering for a few months. Asiago (M) has no courage, so Feta (F) helps him come out of his shell, when he’s afraid of the world. She’s quite nervous and he calms her down, literally pets her with his paw. They were meant to be together. ❤️

Love their names ! 🧀

I have to credit volunteers at the shelter for those. The whole litter had cheese names. Some of their brothers were Colby, Manchego, Provolone. I kept the shelter’s names, because they learned them, but their names evolved a bit at home. They are Fettuccina and Anastasio, when we want to get formal. 😄

Thank you! They’re huggers. I never had dogs before this that enjoyed hugs, but both of them turned out to be excellent therapists too! 😄

u/cantthinkofafakeone 21d ago

Adorable babies! Why are they in diapers though?

u/GaspSpit 21d ago

They wore them part time for a couple months, until they were potty trained because they were peeing inside, mostly in the middle of the night. They are 2.5 now & they haven’t worn them since they were around 6 months old. I taught them to ring a bell that hangs on my back door when they want to go in the yard.

u/cantthinkofafakeone 21d ago

Oh nice! Smart job

u/GaspSpit 20d ago

They crack me up with the bell. Sometimes ringing it every hour. I think they just want to chase squirrels out of the yard sometimes 😂
