Hey, everyone, this is Andy, and I'm here
with my dog Porter, a.k.a.
the 2 eyed 1 nose
kickin Purple chicken eater.
Okay, that was that went way better in my head.
And of course, we are joined by Polly dog,
aka SQUIRRELBANE, the ultimate weapon designed to overthrow
our squirrel overlords.
Are you doing your part to stop the squirrels?
And today we're talking about our distinguished
little Yorkshire terrier, SAPI, a.k.a..
I got a haircut, so Polly doesn't think I'm a squirrel.
As I've mentioned in previous videos,
I've really fallen in love with SAPI.
She's adjusting very well here.
The dogs seem to like her.
She's pretty much always on me, no matter what I do.
And you know, she's a daddy's girl, that's for sure.
I'm quite used to her being around at this point.
And this is the hard part about fostering.
The longer you have an animal, the more you bond with them, the harder
it is to let go.
But I really do need to let her go.
I mention this because a lot of you are really hoping I keep her.
And, you know, I was on the fence there for a while, but.
But I'm very firm now, and what we're going to do,
you know, we would like a third dog, but we don't need a third dog.
You know, we have 2 Chihuahuas.
We have six cats.
We have a daughter.
Sure, we would like a third dog, but
we're in kind of a position where, you know, we don't need a third dog.
And whenever we find that, you know,
I guess let's just say perfect dog doesn't have to be perfect.
Of course.
But when we find that dog, we will, you know, we'll keep it will adopt it.
I think what's really important that I think it's easy
to overlook when you're just watching our videos is that
a new dog adoption.
You know, that's a family decision, right?
And by that, I mean my wife, myself, my daughter
and our animals of course, you know,
the animals and my daughter can't really make a decision right now.
But, you know, they have to blend well with the animals.
And my daughter, when I would really like right now is more of a family
dog, you know, kind of like polly.
Polly does really prefer her mom,
but she really loves me and she really loves friendly.
What we don't want is, you know, like a Porter or a Sappy
who are very, very single minded and who they love
and they really don't care about anybody but that person.
And honestly, it's not just that I want a family dog.
It's just that that type of personality we'll never be happy here
because I already have you know, I already have Porter,
you know, and blind cats.
Svetlana, those two are the two that are pretty much attached to me at all times.
And the last major issue is she's just too breakable.
Um, you know, we have a she's almost two years old daughter
And don't get me wrong, she's gentle with animals.
But one example is, the other day, we were all in bed,
and SAPI was under the blanket, and my daughter Brinley was just walking
around on top of the bed, and she fell, and she fell, like, right on top of Sabi.
Thankfully, I was like, right there,
and I just put my my hand under her to stop her.
But that could have done serious damage because SAPI is just that small.
So, yeah, we need something a little bigger, a little beefier,
you know, something that's not quite as breakable.
It doesn't need to be hundred pound great dane or anything like that,
but just something you know, on the bigger side.
So yeah, as much as I care about SAPI, I
really need to let
her go and you know, I'm sure she'll find a great place to live.
Hopefully, you know, we'll find someone older who
can, you know, doesn't have kids, stuff like that.
And we'll just treat her like a princess just like she deserves.
Anyway, I know some of you really wanted me to adopt her and
I mean a lot of people, and.
Yeah, I'm sorry to let you down.
Uh huh.
You know, unfortunately, I'm getting used to letting you down
when it comes to not adopting Foster's, because I.
Almost every foster we have, we get a lot of messages or comments
that say, Hey, you should keep them.
But, uh, yeah, not this time.
Maybe, you know, someday it will happen.
Probably.
But until then, we're just going to keep fostering, you know, doing our best.
Not to be animal hoarders.
SAPPY has been doing
well with her eating, and everything seems stable now, so
we're going to put her up for adoption hopefully within the next couple of days,
and I'm sure she'll be adopted pretty quickly.
Anyway, that's it for today.
I hope you all have a great day and take care.
