When I started this diary, I thought it would go for about ten, maybe twelve weeks. I figured eight or ten weeks until the puppies went home and then another week or two after that for the adorable mama I saw in the photos to be adopted. As you all know, nothing went according to plan. And now, here we are at just over twelve weeks and Daisy has not had a single adoption application.
Which doesn’t make sense to me because while yes, she has a few quirks (fear of men being the biggest one), otherwise, she’s a sweetheart of a dog. She will undoubtedly LOVE her mama if she ever gets one. She’ll be a great hiking buddy and a silly, sweet, best friend.
Daisy’s presence here, combined with the work of caring for a mama dog and litter, and managing Flannery’s energy, is weighing on me. I want to do a good job with all three (technically eight) of my fosters, but there is only one me. And not to be a complainy-Jane, but I’ve had enough. Someone needs to come adopt a dog (or two).
I am doggedly working on a manuscript, determined to finish it and get it to my agent by the end of this month. The way the wheels of publishing work, even if I do manage to get it finished by the end of the month, by the time you factor in re-writes, the eventual sale of the manuscript and the lengthy publication process, it will be 2021 (if I’m lucky) before my next novel hits the shelves. I miss being a fiction writer. Right now I feel like a full-time foster dog mom.
Because basically I am.
But I don’t want your pity (don’t deserve it because I volunteered for this), what I do want is your adoption applications. Daisy needs a home. A real home. So does Flannery (but more about that in the next post).
If you aren’t following along with my sporadic Daisy updates on Facebook, here they are in review:
Diary of a rescue day 71:
We took Daisy and Frankie for a walk together. Frankie was nervous about Daisy being so close but they did great. She wanted to engage him, even licked his face once. When we got back we walked into the house together. Nick asked Frankie to sit and gave him a treat. Daisy leaned forward, wanting a treat too and took a treat from Nick. Made my day.
It seems as though Daisy has turned some kind of corner. I’m hopeful she will keep getting better and better with the other dogs. I hate that she lives alone in the kitchen or out in the playyard. What I hope most though is that her real mommy finds her soon. She is so ready.

Diary of a Rescue Day 73:
Tanis stopped by today. Daisy was overjoyed to see her- covering her with kisses and nuzzles and then racing around with the zoomies like she was showing off.
It makes me so happy that I am not Daisy’s only person. I suspect she might have a similar reaction to Susan.
On Thursday, Daisy will go to boarding for three days while I am away. I think she will be fine there- maybe a little scared but safe. The rescue coordinator at the shelter where she originally came from told me Daisy did fine at the shelter so I’m hopeful that a few days at a boarding facility won’t be the worse thing for her.
Fingers crossed her mama finds her soon.

Diary of a Rescue Day 76:
I am away on a girls’ weekend and Daisy is at boarding. I haven’t gotten any reports, but I assume she is anxious but fine. Still, I worry a little.
At this point, though, I realize that this will be a necessary part of fostering Daisy as I can’t stay home all the time or expect my friends to come to my house three times a day to care for her when I’m gone.
I have to mention here that Daisy has not been a typical foster. So, just in case you’ve thought about fostering, don’t base your decision on this diary. I’ve only had five dogs (that weren’t nursing puppies) out of 145 who stayed longer than a month or two, and most have only stayed a week or two.
That said, this happens sometimes and it can be a bit hard on the heart to see the long lists of dogs in need of rescue and not be able to save one because you are months into saving your current dogs. (Flannery is still here too.)
Since I can’t take in a new foster dog, it’s on you. There are so many dogs that need you – maybe fostering would be a great family summer project! If I can personally twist your arm, feel free to message me!
Diary of a Rescue Day 79:
Just a girl and her antler…..

Diary of a Rescue Day 80:
Daisy is home again. She did fine at Lakeside and they took good care of her. I have been uber busy catching up on work and dealing with some health issues with mom and pups, plus my traveling husband and busy kiddo, not to mention the spring garden and foot-high grass, so she has spent most of the time since I picked her up in our puppy play yard.
Hopefully, I’ll have time to get her out for a walk again on Wednesday.
I’ve said it before that five dogs is a bit too much for me and definitely feeling that stress again.

8 30 37 :)
hello !
8. what do you love about yourself?
oh. hm. I'm just gonna say my freckles I think they're very neat
30. how long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
depends. can be anywhere from 5 minutes to 15. if I want to wear eyeliner a little longer but that's a special occasion/I need to make sure I actually leave the house thing
37. is death more scary than life?
not really no. I personally am more scared of the act of dying than death itself. death is just the next step I guess. comes for everyone. had a dream once that death was a frail-looking old lady with a kind smile and pity in her eyes. if that actually is death I don't think I'm too scared she seemed very understanding about everything in a way you can only be when you've experienced eons

you do NOT have to answer this but what's quoiromantic?
I sometimes forgor people don't know what that is but basically it's on the aromantic spectrum ! it's basically just "I cannot tell the difference between platonic and romantic feelings so idk which one I'm feeling for you"
fun fact: it's also referred to as WTFromantic

1/8/14 for pride month asks!!
1. Which labels do you use?
currently, nonbinary/genderqueer, asexual, and I still haven't figured out where I stand romantically however I have been flipping between demiromantic, quoiromantic, and aroflux
8. Describe your gender without using any words traditionally related to gender:
Scooby-Doo villain, but once unmasked it's just the void
14. How do you think other factors like neurodivergency or upbringing have impacted your identity?
Oh it stunted me definitely. I didn't know gay people existed until I was 13 and I was in high school before I found out there were more than 2 genders. It didn't help that my mom used to be super enbyphobic when I first started high school (she has since grown and apologized for some of the things she said to me <3)
as for the neurodivergency? I've seen a few articles mention that autistic people tend to be nonbinary since they don't understand the gender binary but idk about that one chief
