Greg got adopted!

This actually happened back in September. I haven't updated the blog since earlier so here I am, posting a happy entry for the record.

Greg was adopted by a family that already owns to other poodles. Greg will not be lonely for sure!



Here he is (far right). Looking so cute and clean with his new hair-cut.

I have heard now his name is Benny. To us he will always be Greg and we will never forget him.
I miss him so much. Don't get me wrong I am very happy for him now that he is living in a permanent home with two friends of his kind. What I mean is that this was my first real encounter with a poodle. And I was so amazed by Greg's entertaining nature. Now I notice poodles in the streets and in somebody's yard all the time.... Funny I used even avoid small dogs, (I guess mainly because I had seen them pee on my feet and try to mate with my arm) now I notice Chihuahuas and Poodles and they makes me smile.

I haven't fostered after Greg. I think I was a little exhausted after Greg. Physically because he was peeing everywhere in the house when he first arrived, he wasn't potty-trained. Most rescue dogs aren't, I think. They were never given proper care or love. We can't blame them but when you open your home to these guys, that means you would need lots of spray cleaners and paper towels.
Greg got to go outside most of the time at the end, however a few months of accidents finally took its toll and my house was stinky!
I was tired and wanted to breathe fresh air in my home. I decided to take a break from fostering and clean the house.

Now I think my house smells much better and I feel better too.
I started thinking again  - Having another cute face like this around wouldn't hurt. Even if it means putting your furniture and carpets at risk of another urine coating....  

Congratulations, Greg! Be happy!!
