For those not in the know, a "foster fail" is what happens when a dog or cat who was only supposed to be a temporary foster is so lovable that his/her human just can't say goodbye, and he/she winds up becoming part of the family. So basically, it's the best kind of fail :)
I have been fostering for well over ten years. I have come close to adopting before, but never made the commitment. I knew if I did not adopt Molly, I would regret it, so she is officially a member of my family.
She is my shadow. Here she is while I am typing this post. I will never again go to the bathroom alone :)
Molly and Ernestine. Molly looks like a little peanut compared to Ernestine.
Here they suspect food may be close by.
Molly with younger son J. He calls her little puppy (but that is also what he calls Ernestine). He has the beginnings of his "winter face".
Older son Bill with niece's dog Izzy. They look pretty comfy, though Bill claims he was just resting his eyes.
Grandson Jake with his Uncle Bill. Jake is now officially taller than his dad.
I survived Thanksgiving. Thankfully my niece's hubby is a great help in the kitchen so he was in charge of the turkey and gravy. We had enough food to feed an army. I do not eat sweet potatoes, but Marly shared a sweet potato casserole recipe with me which tasted more like a dessert. I must say it was pretty good. You can find the recipe here. Thanks for sharing, Marly.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Molly is an adorable looking pup. Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family; I LOVE sweet potatoes and have even eaten cold baked sweet potatoes (with skin) as I consider them sweet potato pie without the fattening crust and sugar.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that Molly is a foster fail!!! That face :) Congratulations! It looks like she and Ernestine get along well!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Patti

ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful news! Little Molly must be so special to have captured your heart. You are both so lucky to have found each other! Guess it was meant to be. I'm happy you had a nice Thanksgiving with your family. Good that Molly and Ernestine like each other. Melinda
ReplyDeleteCongrats Lauren. I told Gary as soon as I saw Molly that she was a little baby doll and if she were with us she would be a "keeper." So glad she is your "keeper." She fell into a home full of love for sure. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Molly & you! Best decision & Christmas for both of you! Looks like she is part of the family already & fitting right in!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! She looks like a sweetie!!!! Had a black pug named Martha many years ago, loved her to bits!!! Enjoy your new baby!!!
ReplyDeleteMolly look right at home. Congratulations Molly!!! You have a forever home ♥️
ReplyDeleteJake has grown so tall! What a cute member of your family.
ReplyDeleteLucky Molly!! I a so happy for both of you . And it looks as though even Ernestine approves, Your grandson has turned into quite a handsome and tall young man. Glad both of your boys were home for the holiday.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are keeping Molly. When I read the title, my heart fell in my shoes. She seems like such a nice dog. I am glad she has found her forever home. I am also glad that Earnestine and Molly seem like friends.
ReplyDeleteI remember when one of my friends raised guide dogs, it was a fail if you got your puppy back. I knew then I could never do that, because I would want them all to fail.
I know I could very easy end up a hoarder. Your Thanksgiving looks amazing and I am so glad your boys were all home. My goodness Jake has gotten so tall. I am so happy you have a dog to sleep at your feet again.
Molly loves you. I am so happy you are keeping her. She is gorgeous!! A great addition to your family.
