In other news, our current foster dog Toby needs surgery to remove a lump from his lip. We're hopeful that it's not cancer and a kind man donated $300 of the $420 that the surgery will cost. He's a sweet young guy so I hope that he'll come through it just fine, then go on to a happy home.

Skip, the sweet scared dog that I placed this weekend, is coming back because he bit the woman twice in 2 days. Actually, he's not coming back to me, we have no choice but to put him to sleep (yes, a nice way of saying kill him). At this point, he's a liability and we could never place him again. He'd be with our family forever, being a liability to us. We can't take that risk. I sorta feel like I failed him, but really, he failed himself by biting. Many things can be fixed but fear biters are the worst, pretty much unfixable.

Happy trails, sweet Skip. May you be free from the fear that brings you to bite people in the next life. We'll meet again when I get there and until then Alice will show you the way to the buffet.
