Lessons Learned

Lessons learned from fostering three puppies:

• 3 is too many!
• We need a fenced in yard to do bigger dogs
• Puppies who want out will find any way to escape no matter how many fences you put up
• Potty training three rambunctious puppies takes the patience of a saint
• I am not a saint
• I love fostering but I am in over my head!

I think I knew from day one that this was going to be too much for me to handle but after a few days of round the clock puppy herding I was burnt out! Thank goodness for the other people at AAU who helped me find additional fosters to take over some of the responsibility.
