To prevent myself from wanting to murder my fantasy football team tonight, I’ve been putting zines together as nothing says calming like fighting with font faces and formatting, right? ;p

One of the things to come of tonight was the cover for the Burning Bright series, which after some consideration I shortened to just that rather than the entire series name of the three titles together as it gets a little long winded ^^; I knew as soon as I decided to make this into a zine I wanted a candle as I think it really just encapsulates this series. Had a lot of fun with this one and designing the back cover.

Preorders open in about a week and a half! Stay tuned! ♥

Foster Programs

Fostering is a great way to help animals shelters and some shelters rely solely on a foster network. Each program is different but the good ones will cover the medical costs of animals under their care. Food and toys are usually the responsibility of the foster.

My family began fostering in 2009 with one foster dog and our two dogs and somehow we ended up with as many as 12 dogs at one time. In total we’ve had 82 fosters. Most of our fosters were long term (until they found their family) but some are short term like vacation coverage. Our fist set of puppies, Peaches and Ripper, were weekend puppies. Some dogs visited us multiple times because they are in permanent foster. Harlee was an elderly Basset Hound with Addison’s disease. Some dogs have been very easy going and did not require much extra care and others required extensive care after surgery. Rocco needed an emergency cataract surgery to fix his eye and had an extensive regimen of eye drops, creams, and pills. Most of the time we have between 1 and 3 fosters but last year FOHA took in three litters that ended up at our house. Fostering is heartbreaking and rewarding. It’s not something that should be taken lightly.

The foster program should have the kids survey their foster parents so the social workers know who is a bad parent and good parent

We fostered these babies last month and they're long gone off to happy homes by now, but a part of me still misses them. Waffles, the boy on the left, is a complete sweetheart who was scared of everything. Pancakes, the girl on the right, is the polar opposite — she jumped and explored and regularly Houdini'd her way out of the barriers we put up.

6 week old terrier mixes; we're fostering them until mid August. These guys have been a joy to take care of because they're so uncomplicated (I've been getting full nights of sleep, gasp).

The daily routine is: wake up, eat and play, go back to sleep for 2-3 hours, repeat. When it's time to sleep again they just gravitate towards whoever's nearby and settle down.

They all have very distinct personalities.

House (cutie in the first picture): runt of the litter. Usually the first to fall asleep. Will do whatever the other two are doing. Occasionally cries for no discernible reason.

Techno: Exuberant little trouble maker! He loves exploring and is always the one trying to wiggle into new nooks and crannies. He's also the most vocal.

Binky (aka Lana): The pudgiest of the three. Is the first to run to the food bowl. Doesn't complain much, in fact if the other two are crying she'll start wrestling them and growling. She's my favorite because her disposition is so calm and sweet.

I'm gonna bawl when we give them back, calling it right now.
