Foster Dog Blog: April Showers Bringing May Flowers...

So the weather here in Wisconsin has turned rather sloppy.

This means spending lots more time indoors than out, very quick walks between raindrops and being sleepy.

Since our trip to the dog park earlier this week, Lolli has definitely been more manageable, energy wise. I can't tell you enough how amazed I am at what a lover she is, especially for the way she spent most of her young life so far; chained outside on a 3 foot chain. She truly believes she is a lap dog and is always looking for love. She is a pretty good snuggler too!

She is so playful, and sometimes it looks like she is a tough dog. But her tail gives her away. It is always wagging.

This has become a problem because she had some scabs on her tail that she is doing an excellent job of re-opening ALL the time because her tail never quits and she is oblivious to everything (or one) she swats with her tail.

She has been an all-star though, letting me clean it up and put ointment on it to help it heal and not get infected.

The neighbor kids were loving on her yesterday afternoon. She just adores kids and she could really use some human kids of her own to run and play with! We just have 4 legged kids that tolerate her, but don't always want to play.

And for those of you that didn't know, Lolli is a local celebrity. See her video here...http://landing.newsinc.com/shared/video.html?freewheel=91046&sitesection=wgn&VID=24637850

Lolli has a wish list for her new home. Do you have a fenced in yard where she can run? Are you active and would you get out and do things with her? Do you have one or more kids (preferably a little older, so she doesn't knock them over)? Are you willing to open up your heart and your house to this sweet little pitbull that is looking for her chance to love family life?

Now for some information and advocacy. :)

Being a past pitbull owner, believe me, do I know and understand the controversy with pitbulls. People see them as dangerous and killers. They see the exceptions, not the majority.

I have been a pitbull advocate for years. My first pitbull strolled into my life when I was just a teenager. Reggie was only a puppy at a local humane society. I immediately fell in love. He was the most loyal, loving and sometimes neurotic dog I have ever had. I would not have traded the 8 and half years that I had with him for anything else in the world. Together we had good times and bad, and many, many adventures. He passed away in 2010. He lives on in my heart and will forever.
