My First Day in Foster Care


My name is Lily Bell & I just turned 4 yrs old in September. I just came into the EGSPC rescue program because my dad got sick & my family didn't have time for me anymore. I miss them but things aren't so bad here at all. You see, I lived my whole life outside in a very small pen with a doghouse. Now I'm inside the house with my foster parents, 2 foster sisters that look like me, toys, treats, comfy dog beds & a whole lotta love. I must say, I sure am glad I won't be spending this winter out in the cold!

My foster parents and everyone I meet says I'm a really sweet girl. I like all the doggies & people I meet and I only jump up on them a little cause I get really excited with all this attention I never had before. My manners are pretty good too. I sit down before its time to eat or to wait for the gate to open. Lots of times I also sit so the people will pet me. I guess they don't like to pet me when I'm acting too crazy..I just can't help it though cause I'm a happy girl!! I don't really jump up on the counters much at all and I listen really well when told not to do something. They say I'll be easy to train, whatever that means. They also say how well I'm doing with housebreaking...I could have told them that. I used to keep my kennel run really clean so this housebreaking stuff is a snap! Its been 2 days & I haven't had any accidents inside. And the more I gain their confidence the more rooms in the house I get to see. I bet in a few days I'll know every room in the house.

I really like being inside and I don't mind my crate at all. It helps me to calm down & regroup when I get too excited. I usually just fall asleep in there. My foster mom says she can hear me snoring from the next room while I'm napping. It must be because I've never had such a cozy comforter to sleep on in my whole life. I think they're spoiling me and I like it:).
I like to run and play with my foster sisters. We get to play with fluffy toys too which I really like....they squeek!! I much prefer toys to stinky shoes or other non dog stuff. They have a basket here with lots of different things to play with that are just for us dogs, its GREAT!!

Well, that's all I can say about me for now. Its playtime!!! I'll write more later.
