Glad to have been able to get “Mr. Thunder” off the streets on a rainy night. A lot of dogs get away during storms bc they are afraid and fences fail from mud. My car now smells like wet water dog, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! He seemed like a total family dog. The folks at Pasadena Humane Society believe his owners will come for him or he will get adopted soon. Fingers crossed!

The Dirty Dozen – 12 Forever Homes in 3 Years
Yesterday we celebrated Houston “Huey” finding his forever home, which marks the TWELFTH Forever Day for our household! Fostering a dozen was a goal of mine, and since we were working slowly but surely, one at a time, I can’t believe how fast it happened! Ironically, this also marks the 100th post for Project Noses!
Birdie has Adopters!

Our current foster dog, Birdie, has found a home! In 8 short weeks (many of which I was even being lazy about networking her, and for most of it she was listed as a Lab mix instead of a Golden Retriever!) She found a great home in San Jose with a nice couple, a chihuahua and a cat!
Luckily I am doing the last few days on a feature shoot up there this weekend (Sake Bomb!), and the production gladly said she can ride along. I’m so excited to take a road trip with her as the last time we spend together. It will be sad to see her go, but I am so happy for her time with us to come full circle! When I get back, I pick a new foster! This time I thinking of going even smaller. Cocker spaniel, anyone?
Birdie is being sponsored by the Los Angeles based dog rescue Cocker Connection in conjunction with their sister rescue, Baxter and Friends, an all-breed rescue in San Francisco.

Foster #2: Birdie the Beagle/Golden Retriever Mix

So far having Birdie around is wonderful. She is a great age – 6 years or so – so she simultaneously has plenty of energy to play but then can settle down with us after dinner or when we need some quiet time in general. Birdie does have a seizure condition, but we hope it won’t be serious so that medication won’t be necessary. Our instructions from the vet are to notice the frequency and duration of the events, and we’ll go from there. If she has them a lot she’ll be placed on meds, which since she is not a puppy anymore isn’t such a big deal. What a relief!
