It seems that long, long before foster dad and I started seriously talking about making the Dude a perma-dog in our house, the boys were already plotting. Here’s evidence from January 17 — just two weeks after the Dude’s arrival:
"I think I'd like for you to be my foreverdog"
I think I'd like for you to be my foreverdog too . . .
Love and a Six-Foot Leash 
Seriously because i read your blog at work i have to keep my self from squealing aloud when i see posts like this :)…it makes my heart sing!
They really do make a wonderful pair, such gorgeous boys 🙂
The dogs are always way ahead of us, aren’t they?
When it’s right, it’s right. ♥
awww, so happy for you all. I think the Dude will be a perfect foster family addition. Won’t it be wonderful when these two can actually really kick it like homies and romp? Hoping the rest of the Dude’s recovery time goes quickly so you can throw a party.

welcome to the foster fail club 😉
Wow, they certainly hit it off right from the start! Chick has the best facial expressions.
I think I kind of love this idea! Can’t wait for the official announcement!
Aw this is sooo sweet!
Love this!! We just adopted a year old pup to add to our almost 10 year old girl, and its been…challenging. Let me tell you though, we appreciate our girl soooo much more now. She is just the perfect dog in our eyes, and we continue to see just how hard it is to find the right match for the 3 of us (plus the cat)
When Chick told you he loves dudes, he wasn’t kidding!! So happy that you listened to him. They are such a cute twosome. We need a family portrait, please!!
I love seeing these two together, they are so comfortable and relaxed with each other. They both have such expressive faces which you capture so well. Yes, a family portrait would be wonderful!
Best friends forever. Beautiful. Congrats again!
Yay!!! SO happy for all of you!!
Adorable.
See they had it planned right from the start!! So happy for your family.
So happy that the Chick found his perfect match and the Dude pretty much got the best home ever.
I sure hope you get to keep him! I know you can find another way to keep helping foster dogs 🙂 Maybe you could help place foster dogs by advertising for one of your foster parent friends?
They are such a perfect fit! But I hope this doesn’t mean you won’t keep up this blog! I look so forward to it every day – I think we all want to keep up with you and the boys! 🙂
There is absolutely no way you can separate this pair now. I mean, we’ve all fallen in love with how in love they are!
So cute! Doggies do seem like they make plans for us = )
I just…I just love this decision more than anything ever! Congrats, congrats, congrats! What a perfect duo!
AAAAWWWWWWWW!!

Soooooo happy for your family & Dude, yet I still feel a little sadness b/c so many wonderful Pitties will lose out on a great foster home.
Congrats Aleks and Ben!! This is so exciting can’t wait to read your adventures as a family of four!
So cute! The perfect pair!
so it seems the fix was in from the start, wasn’t it? smart doggies!!
Looks like two happy boys, for sure! Congratulations!
While back in San Francisco last week, I had lunch with the friend there who turned me onto your blog, and we talked about how sure we were that The Dude wasn’t going anywhere. So happy to see that he and Chick get to continue enjoying each other’s company.
Ok so I can hardly see to type this with the tears of joy and happiness runniing down my face I love your blog and your dogs so much and loopk forward to their updates and pictures. How is the Dude healing up after those awful shots? You are my heroes.
They really are SO SWEET together 🙂
You Have to keep the Dude….Just no if and’s or buts….He fits well there….
The thought of these two beautiful boys being brothers makes me tear up – I’m so happy the Dude is going to be your forever dog!!!
Since Chick’s first post about him (“I am white with browns; he is brown with whites”) I just couldn’t help but hope they would be together forever. After the heartworm diagnosis, I was rooting for the Dude even more. This was like getting the ending you want to a movie you’ve never seen, or you’re team winning a championship. I’m so happy for you.
I am new to your blog and I love it! can’t wait to follow you story. Here is to kicking those bad heart worms right out of your baby!
Oh my goodness, so many tears for such few words. Sweetest, sweetest, sweetest.
your plan worked!!
Benny & Lily
So cute! I really love your blog!
I love your blog. i work at the humane society in my town during the summer teaching humane education through their kids camps and I love when I have kids come up to me and say that they are going to start fostering with their family. its an incredible thing to open up the minds of some people who are otherwise ignorant about rescue dogs.
You are doing great things! I love your posts!

That’s really sweet!

why do your posts always make me cry? crying in joy? crying in sadness (because some humans can be so mean). but today i’m crying in a joyful way because Chick has chosen his dude. what joyful news! DC misses you but i’m so happy that Chick has found his “soul mate” out west 🙂
This makes me so happy and sad at the same time! Happy because they are so beautiful, but sad because unfortunately where I am from these dogs are deemed “dangerous” and are being put down without a second thought. They are being punished without having had done anything wrong! You two boys look so happy, so harmless! So beautiful! 🙂
