Foster Friday...a day late!! whoooops!!!

Well, in all the excitement with our bee sting here at the Circus last night, I completely forgot to do a Foster Friday Story!!! Meet Ollie now known as Frank!!!
Ollie was our first foster Pug!!



Brought home from my 1st Board meeting, we were to have him for a day or two. However, the battered emotional state he was in changed those plans. He was so damaged it was unreal.
In the parking lot, after the meeting, we tried to get him to come out of his crate for a potty break. He finally did, and when he actually went to the bathroom, he cowered like we were going to beat him...shaking and quaking, we got him into the crate, and into the car to head home. We gave him the name Ollie on the drive from Lville to Indy. Well, Mr Ollie within about 2 weeks was a completely different little pug! Everyday we showed him unending love and attention, what it was like to play with other pugs, and toys...well, clearly he had NO idea what those were to start out with! But he was a smart boy and caught onto the good life very quickly. Once he went for his neuter and vaccines, I took him to a home that had just been approved for adoption. I told them NO PRESSURE..but I think he would be great for you guys!!! They have an exisiting Pug in the househould...Annabelle AKA Nana Pug. Well, Ollie and I arrived and from the minute he went thru the door, it was as if he had lived there all his life!!! running around inside and out with Nana Pug...swiping her favorite toy from her!! !and then settling in on the top couch cushions behind his new Mom!!! I looked at her and said "the paperwork is in the car, should I go get it??!!" and the answer was a resounding YES!!!! Ollie will have been in his home now for 2 years...he is fat and sassy, loves his humans, and Nana Pug is his best buddy!!!! Sometimes the Fosters Pick their own families...that is certainly the case for Mr Ollie now known as Frank!!! and ps...the Frank name is from the Cars movie..NOT Men in Black!!!! The household has a little boy who loves the Cars characters!!! Frank (Ollie) is a true testament to how resilient a Pug is! He had without a doubt been beaten for potty accidents, did not know human love and touch, and did have a clue about toys! Now, he is livin LARGE!!!!!!!!

    We are glad Mug is okay. Being bitten sounds like a lot of no fun.
