I love your blog!) <br /><br />I'm a big fan of hounds myself but they do present their own set of issues, don't they? What wonderful stories. I think Monk is trying to tell you he already found his forever home. ;)Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-78226925694717912832011-09-29T12:36:43.451-04:002011-09-29T12:36:43.451-04:00Oh Sue, you know, I really should have made that m...Oh Sue, you know, I really should have made that my post script. Ernie ended up teaching us the meaning of "failed foster". We have run into Ernie and his "foster" now permanent folks several times as they live in our area. According to one of the trainers we've used who also works with Ernie, he is far more fearful than Bella (which we kind of knew) so it seems he found himself in the right place at the right time with his hu-dad.<br /><br />And yes, I have really been overwhelmed by the amount of support available both online and among people in our local dog community to help us on this journey. It's been wonderful.Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-48783216439083673012011-09-29T12:14:55.273-04:002011-09-29T12:14:55.273-04:00I love fearfuldogs.com!

Farrah, who would only let me touch her head when she came; three months later, she walked around in dog class, her tail high, rolling over for belly rubs. She is now in a foster home where she is loved and very comfortable; she will always be shy except around water. Chip and Monk were feral, born in the wild and brought to me as older puppies. Farrah mothered them. Chip went to MN to a special feral foste home; Monk will be here forever after two failed programs for him - the booger knows it, too!. Oh, I like your blog!

And isn't it great how much help there is available in this internet age:) While I don't follow Debbie Jacob's blog I do know how valuable a resource she is for people with fearful dogs.

I've discovered there are a bunch of great resources out here in the blogosphere - makes 'raising a crazy dog' a little easier, I think. :)Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-66744688194495277272011-09-27T19:21:25.138-04:002011-09-27T19:21:25.138-04:00What a great story and en excellent resource!
