The end of the week is in sight. This week the focus has been on Humble, and our boy Toby. For Humble, coming into a large multi-dog household has gone pretty well for her, and she's managed to get along with everyone. But for whatever reason she has decided that she doesn't like our girl CarrieAnne. Carrie as you may recall is a pretty tough little street fighter, and the two of them have had a few 'disagreements' ending with a few scratches on both of them and Todd too who can't stand on the sidelines and just watch. Thankfully its not been anything more serious. Because these kind of issues have a tendency to escalate, and I am very concerned that it is only a matter of time before someone gets really injured, I've asked the rescue to find Humble a new foster home. But as luck would have it, there is someone who is interested in adopting Humble. I spoke with her yesterday and feel that she would be the most perfect home for Humble. We're meeting her on Saturday and
hoping, hoping, hoping that the two will be a good match for one another.
As you're crossing your fingers and paws for Humble, I hope you'll cross them for our boy Toby too. He's totally unable to stand on his own and he uncharacteristically snapped at me this morning when I tried to get him to his feet. Toby is a big boy, and isn't easily moved. I'm hoping that he'll allow me help him. He didn't eat his breakfast and I've been unable to get him outside. I'm not ready to give up yet, and I hope he's not either.

Crossing my fingers for Humble to find her forever home. Will say a prayer for Toby. I truly understand wanting him to not give up.
Fingers crossed for Humble. Sorry to hear about Toby, time seems to be catching up...(sending good vibes).
oh, poor toby. must really be in pain. bless you all.
We're sending our thoughts and prayers for Toby and you as well.
All our fingers and paws are crossed for Humble and we hope to hear good news soon!
Sending good vibes for Humble's meet and greet that it turns out to be more than a M&G. On Toby I'm praying he bounces back. Have you thought about one of those sling attachment to put on Toby to help lift him. I just one on my Irish Setter, Red because it hurt him to use your hands to help. It worked out wonderfully!
Here's hoping that Humble finds a new home and Toby is feeling a bit better soon!
Kim, when people ask me how I can raise puppies and let them leave me, that's an easy answer - I know they are going into wonderful homes like yours. I'm so thankful for your home and the love you provide so selflessly. You're going to diamonds in your crown!!

I am making a little pray for Humble to find a new and perfect home, just like I did.
Is Toby on meds? I hope he does better too.
I love it that Todd does the reffing in these little disagreements!

You know that my paws are crossed for Toby and Humble. And lifting up prayers for all of you as well.
Blessings,

We're praying with everything we've got for both of them Kim. Hang in there my friend!!
Oh my, happy go lucky Toby must really be hurting. Our prayers are with the last Chub Brother. Love you Toby.
Great news about the prospect of finding Humble a furever home.
It'll be perfect if Humble finds a home.It must be difficult to take a Golden back to the shelter after you've decided to bring her home.
Wishes n thoughts for Toby.May be it's just the 'commotion' that has disturbed the old boy.He looks cross.And like he needs reassurance...
(I rather like the look of the new house too. And hope Carl is doing well...?)
Our paws and fingers are crossed for Humble and Toby.
Crossing my fingers and toes that all goes well for Humble ! Oh I love your Cardinal photo fantastic! As for Toby maybe that's his way of telling you enough is enough he wants to go with dignity , sometimes the actions of our pets at such an age is them telling us that's it they are done as hard as it is for us but let us not forget that letting go shouldn't be for us but for them and their pride ! I do hope all goes well for you and your clan !
Prayers being said all around. Rescue/foster/owner life no run in the park (well... sometimes it is... and those are the good good times we hang on to during times like these).
Know that someone in Indiana that you've never met is thinking of you & praying for everybody over there!

It would be wonderful if Humble gets a forever home, have my fingers crossed!
Oh, poor Toby, I feel for you. Getting old is hardly fun.
I hope he perks up.
Bella love jumping in to join a fight. Paws crossed for Humble...hope this is the right home for her.
Poor Toby. We hope he improves. We know the cold weather must be harder on him.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Hopefully things will work out for both dogs. They are very lucky to have you looking out for them.
Hi Kim, So happy about Humble-I know that you will be able to tell if the match is perfect; hoping it is.
I'm so sorry about Toby-hopefully he is just a bit achy and nothing more. You've been with enough seniors to know when the time comes. Hope you have a wonderful evening.
Sending hugs to you!
Noreen & Hunter
Poor Toby, feel better soon buddy...

Prayers for all the dogs, hope Humble finds loving home and for Toby lets you help him, poor boy, Hugs Francine.

And we are crossing our paws for Humble too- so that the new home works out.

Hi Kim, I am sitting here in tears reading about your Toby--totally understanding how you feel. My gracie still eats and does make it outside, but I know she's in a lot of pain and it just breaks my heart. Life just kinda stinks sometimes.
So sending you lots of hugs and good vibes. Hope it all works out for Humble, such a pretty girl.
P.s. healing prayers for Carl too.
Our fingers and paws are crossed here for Humble! Good luck with the meeting.
I hope that Toby will make a turn around for you. I know how tough it is seeing them get older.
Millie and I have our paws and fingers crossed that all goes well for Humble and that Toby feels better soon.

Humble is a charmer who will make a wonderful addition to anyone's family - here's hoping the adoption works out! And I'll be keeping Toby - Toby of the most beautiful face - in my thoughts.
Fingers crossed for both of them. If only they lived for longer; they're such heart-breakers.
I will definitely cross my fingers for the meeting to go well for Humble. Hopefully Toby will be himself tomorrow again. Have a great weekend. ANA
Fingers and paws crossed for Humble and Toby. We're thinking of you and praying of you all.
