This blog is REALLY supposed to be about music, podcasts, and the occasional plug to where I’m playing. Still, tossing out pics of whatever AFRP<\/a> dogs we’re fostering seems to be getting them adopted quicker, so why not?<\/p>\n

As a rule, I don’t like small dogs. As soon as the yapping starts, the “ah, ain’t it cute?” factor ratchets down to zero, and I can’t wait to (phew) find the pup it’s forever home. I also keep threatening to post a 2-foot sign next to our front door that says “you must be THIS tall” to be my dog. This one, however, has totally grown on me.”Freaking adorable” is an understatment:<\/p>\n

“Tink” was a stray in King City. She’s a year and a half old, full-grown, and weighs maybe four pounds soaking wet. Totally housebroken, gets along great with our pack, and she’s content to just sit and sleep in your lap. She’s also a total ball of fluff. I’d say she’d make a great badminton birdie, but that image would tarnish the whole “dog lover, animal volunteer” facade that I have going here. I do hope someone takes her quickly. We really don’t need another “foster failure” (i.e., another dog we keep).<\/p>\n
