Foster Dad

When Samba and Fudge's puppies were little, Fudge was too young and crazy and rough to play much with them. But Fudge has matured and now he's enjoying the new puppies. He plays with them everyday. The girls are so happy to see him come into the yard and can't wait to start playing. This day Fudge decided to run with them.

I love this shot with all four feet in the air .

Down the hill with Sydney scrambling to keep up.

Across the yard.

The girls are getting lots of good tiring exercise. They should sleep well after this.

Now back up the hill.

This is a great workout for all three of them, though Mac sometimes takes a different route.

Sydney asks Fudge if they can do it again.

He agrees.

Fudge is slowing down a little. The girls can keep pace with him.

Fudge is getting tired and now he's following the girls back up the hill.

Fudge decided to sit by me and let the crazy puppies run on their own the third time around.

They're having too much fun to quit.

I'm really proud of how well Fudge is taking care of his girls. Unfortunately, there's always a down side. He's starting to get overly protective of the puppies with the other dogs. Last night when Noah and Sebastian walked up to their pen, Fudge got in their faces and a brawl started. I put a quick stop to it, but we'll need to keep our eye on the situation.
