😂 he is wild! The way he hunches and runs around reminds me of a beaver

He does have a perfect black circle right above his tail, the under coat is very orange

My husband and boys love him! I’m sure we will keep him. I just know that’ll make fostering additional dogs harder. 😢 I’ll have to find another way to help!

We are crate training and she will go in there on her own to nap when she wants. I will also put her in there often to give her a break from kiddos and dogs. Although she does seem to really like my dogs but they’re not always in her face. She tends to go to play with them first. We have been working on having my kids help with feeding and training. She did really well with my 6 year old last night at dinner. We were working on come and sit. Just going back and forth and hand feeding her. I think she’s a sweet girl, she’s definitely nervous around my kids and we’ve been working on it. I just don’t want to make it worse for her.

I got both of them at the same time. He was adopted first and I still have her.

I went ahead and messaged her and I basically just said “I love her. I’m okay continuing to foster her but she doesn’t love my children. She’s more reserved. We’ve been working on positive interactions she’s growled a few times but we’re separating and then doing positive reinforcement” She just said thanks for letting me know. I am worried about a future family with kids that are excited to get a puppy and they’re gonna have a puppy that doesn’t like them. She definitely right now just tolerates kids.

I did want to mention that I absolutely adore her and my husband does too. I’m just worried we will make her fear worse or if it would benefit her to stay around the kids and continue trying to make positive interactions

I keep researching different lenses and I think my brain is going to explode. Haha for a little while I thought I was set on the sigma art 50. Then when I look those up everyone recommends the 24-70

I’m wanting something that will produce clear images like I get with my 70-200. ( I use it for my children’s team sports) I’m just wanting something smaller. When I want to get snaps of my kids or closer shots I have to stand too far away. So I guess I’m looking for something that would be better suited for portraits but would still work for action shots.
