Grace has settle so well with you Claire so happy days for everyone I am glad I was in Norfolk at the time and managed to do a quick home check for Jenny I could see you are a natural with dogs Claire and you would be a good at being a foster carer but after reading your words below maybe not for much longer Well, it's 6 weeks now and Jasper is starting to realise that Gracie is not just here for a holiday! Is that a failed foster coming up lets hope so would be the best ending ever for Grace

Lol! :-) I'm not considering that at the moment Jean.
Grace is a lovely girl, but she really is most comfortable with a quiet, familiar life so that she knows where she is. Her difficulty with people means I put a lot of effort into managing life for her at the moment, which I don't mind in the least, but it is having a knock-on effect on Jasper's quality of life - and he was here first.
When I made the decision to offer to foster her it was always going to be for however long it took to find her a forever home, and I'm still committed to that. But I do think she would be better off in a nice quiet home where she is the constant centre of attention, or can at least share the sofa with a more like-minded doggie :-)

Wow!!! A game of tug!!! Gracie really has come on with you and Jasper, Claire. I think you make a fabulous fosterer - keep up the good work. And Gracie - you keep up the good work too! You're looking great, and it's wonderful to see you playing!

Grace playing? That was a lovely photo to see. Perhaps a quiet home, but with a dog that will give her a bit of fun?

Thought I'd share a couple of Gracie photos :-) Such a lovely face! And this is a new thing - lying in the puddle while having a well-earned drink! Grace continues to do really well and is enjoying some good zoomies :-) She's doing OK meeting people out on walks, although she can still be a bit of a bully with the smaller dogs. She has calmed down a lot and is happy trotting along with me most of the time. There are loads of great photos I would love to get of her, but I never seem to have the camera out at the right time...
