Happy Tail for Maks & Maeby!

This happy tail is a 2-fer :-).  We had two dogs already and were not particularly looking for another when I came across a picture of 10 adorable pittie pups on 4 Luv of Dog’s Facebook page.  One stood out… a chunky little black pup with white tipped toes named Olive. 

We filled out the app and then I received an email saying that someone  had already applied for Olive and if there was another puppy we were interested in.  We only wanted little Olive and were bummed about the news. So we got our home visit done and hoped that the people ahead of us would pick another puppy.   Our prayers were answered when I got the email from her foster mom telling us she was ours!!  Her new name is Maks and she is now a year and a half. 

She has been the best spur of the moment decision we have ever made. She is a spunky, funny, cuddly, sweet girl. She loves to play with her doggy siblings, but her favorite thing is to cuddle with us.  It was because of Maks that I got involved in the rescue, first volunteering at the facility taking care of the dogs, and now fostering.  

It was through fostering that we come to the second Happy Tail.  In January of this year, we took in our fourth foster, a cute little 10 month old pittie mix from the pound, named Maeby.  She was the perfect dog, very sweet and mellow, loved every person and dog she met. She most of all, loved Maks.  Those two bonded instantly and became inseparable, literally. They like to do what we call, “aggressive cuddling” and they could play for hours. After being with us for four months, being adopted out and returned for no fault of her own, we decided we couldn’t let her go again. We “foster failed” with Maeby, and it has been the best failure ever.   She completes our little family and we cant imagine life without her.
