					<description><![CDATA[When we move aboard a sail boat, I&#8217;ll be giving up some things—hot showers, always-on internet, refrigeration. But what I think I&#8217;ll miss most are the occasional visits from foster dogs. Maybe I&#8217;ll feel better if I can convince someone else to take my place in fostering. What Does It Mean To Foster A Dog? &#8230;]]></description>

Should I try to get in a few training sessions? Gently expose her to more household noises? Write a treatise on her personality for her new family? Or is &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I meet someone and introduce my latest foster dog, they usually say one of two things: I could never foster a dog. It would be too hard to give him up. Or they say, I&#8217;d love to do that some day myself. But what I&#8217;d love to hear is, that sounds great. How can &#8230;]]></description>

And even worse, when the fight does nothing to improve things. So you can imagine how tense I find the online bickering surrounding animal rescue. Because a flame war never saved &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last week I announced we were bringing home a new foster puppy. And then I disappeared. Why? Because just showering, feeding the family, and getting my paid work done is hard enough with a puppy in the house. Add blogging to the mix? No way. When my husband got home from work, one phrase dominated &#8230;]]></description>

Returning our latest foster dog, Blanche, to the SPCA and picking up a new puppy will be like turning that pleasant float downstream into a ride through raging rapids. Everything in the house looks different when you see it through the eyes of &#8230;]]></description>

May I take a picture?&#8221; These are a few comments strangers make to us when we&#8217;re with Honey. It&#8217;s nice that people find her appealing. And Honey usually loves the attention.

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never had a fat dog. In fact, my friends from Slim Doggy had to point out to me that Honey was actually getting too skinny. But our new foster dog is a corpulent canine, a dense dog, a bulging beagle. Blanche is enormous. Beagles should&#160;weigh less than 30 pounds. Blanche weighs about 46 pounds, &#8230;]]></description>
