What kind of dog is this?

[Zen]

I can't afford the vet bills that come with ownership so for now I'm a foster parent. If I should find myself in a more favorable financial situation I'll consider a permanent resident but for now I'm glad to provide a temporary alternative to a stressful kennel until someone adopts Minnie Yipperton.

has Minnie calmed down at all?

(dang, she's cute...)

Thankfully yes , she has calmed down some.

She's a funny dog. Lucy was good at sleeping in the crate but this one hates it so I've caved and she sleeps on the bed.

But she doesn't sleep on the bed, she noses under the covers and sleeps down around my feet. To watch her travel under the covers is like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Vet bills and pet food. I can't believe how much we spend on the animals! Right now I'm dealing with a paralized cat (the general consensus is that someone hit or kicked him really hard). Thankfully my vet likes me. She's only charging me for the shots, not the visits. I can't imagine what the costs would be Stateside.

I'm impressed that you foster dogs. It must be sad to see them go, though.

Just look at my Alice and you can see the family resemblence. http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/A...62/t_=87559563

Alice is so cute! Awwww, I just love newfie faces! We had a newfie mix once, and she had the same loveable face.
