Play Time 

Angus is a awesome dog when it comes to playing. It might not seem like it at first but after a while he will be bitting your hand and playing! 

This is a photo of Angus on our balcony! He really enjoys being outside but you want to be careful, if you are outside on hot cement it can hurt the paws of the dog. You also need to be very aware of the weather outside. A warm car can be deadly for a dog!

Sleeping Time

When fostering a rescue dog it is important to make sure that they are comfortable when they sleep! Why? When the dog and you don't get a good sleep it is not good! The first night we had Angus things were not the best as far as getting a good sleep goes! We were up at 5:30am and didn't get to sleep till about 11:30pm! We had him in a 4ft pen on my bedroom floor. Oh one other thing don't let the dog sleep with you...for 2 reasons. 

1. When the dog goes to it's forever home the people might not what the dog on the bed with them. Which means they will have to train the dog not to come up on the bed with them. They are just better off in a crate or in their own bed!

     2. Also they say not to let your dog up on your bed because the dog will think he or she is the pack leader.

The second night was the same but the third night was amazing! We got him a crate to sleep in. All we have to say now is "Bedtime Angus go get your monkey" and he goes right in!

Hi!

This blog is for people who want to foster a rescue dog or they just love cocker spaniels!

About:

Me and my family just got our first foster dog from and organization called Angles Under Our Wing Cocker Spaniel rescue (http://www.angelsunderourwings.com). His name is Angus, he is just under 2yr of age and loves to snore!

Reason to foster:

Dogs like Angus have either been abandoned by their human family or had something else terrible  happen to them. Like Angus some of the dogs don't come with a story. Fostering helps the dogs get ready for their forever home once they are adopted. It also keeps them out of a kennel. I never thought of this but a fellow foster parent for AUOW (Angles Under Our Wings) said "when I foster I am saving two lives. The first is when I get my rescue foster and the second is when that dog leaves and the next one comes along!"
