00:00So I go to get the foster puppy that I signed up for and they're like,

00:02oh, you know, you don't want to just get the one puppy because they need each other.

00:06They don't want to be alone.

00:07So then they're like, OK, you need to have two.

00:10And then there was one more.

00:13So what was I going to do? Leave the last one?

00:15So here we are.

00:20I love them.

00:21So I became a full time puppy mom overnight.

00:25The three girls had a highly contagious case of mange,

00:28so we had to be super careful.

00:30There's this big tub that I was like, it's perfect.

00:34So that's where they spent their first few weeks.

00:37One, two, three.

00:41Hello, girls.

00:43Hello, girls.

00:45Oh, no, where'd she go?

00:47Combined, all three girls weighed well under five pounds

00:51and they all blended in together into this little mushy mob

00:54in the corner of the bathtub.

00:56After a few weeks in quarantine, we started introducing them

00:58to the rest of the house.

01:01Poppy was the most social of the three.

01:03Lulu was a little bit more withdrawn and particular.

01:06And then I would say Tipper was like the little sis go with the flow.

01:10They were just so captivating.

01:13They looked like little foxes or they just didn't look like puppies.

01:20Week four, starting to kind of play around with like, OK,

01:23are we starting to get there? Are we getting better?

01:25One, two, three.

01:30Little naked girl.

01:32It's OK. Your hair is going to come back.

01:34Don't you worry.

01:35Week five, it's like these girls are healthy, happy, ready to go.

01:40It is time to start looking at applications.

01:42And six weeks into fostering, we were ready to find them their forever homes.

01:47Tipper's forever home, it was pretty clear, was with us.

01:49She was not going anywhere.

01:53When I say that these dogs are each in their perfect home

01:56where they are so, so loved and taken care of, that's an understatement.

02:00They hit the jackpot.

02:02They are all living happily ever after, and they're so deserving of that.

02:07About two months later, we had a meetup so that the girls could see each other again.

02:11Watching them run around, it was just so funny.

02:14They're just so little.

02:15They picked up right where they left off.

02:18It just makes it so much more special for me to think about what they came from

02:21and to see where they ended up.
