Thom and Alicia are such wonderful people. The foster world is lucky to have them.

[@chriswilkes4350]

Agree with you.

[@Pianda]

Yeah, but they do their living with that, don't they?

[@trainrover]

who, because this couple're boring?

[@pilgrimsspiritualvoyage6252]

​@Pianda They do their living with that? That sentence doesn't make sense.

After a month of NONSTOP nursing and taking care of her eight puppies, Cholula was ready for some chill time with some (human) adults. Other than the time frame, we aren't that different. Every parent of babies / toddlers has thought, "I love my kids, but they are driving me crazy!"

[@taylorjohnson9985]

Cholula looks almost identical to my dog Fiona that went missing from my yard in Georgia January 30th out of curiosity where was she found ? What state ? I have put up posters , contacted surrounding vets and rescue centers and nothing . I could not have stumbled on this video for no reason 😢❤

[@taylorjohnson9985]

My dog is 2 years old, will be 3 October 3rd. And understands certain words in polish. I know it's most likely not her in this video, but what if it was , what a miracle that would be .

[@jenniferb.9404]

@@taylorjohnson9985 I believe Thom is in Southern California, not sure if that changed! I’m sorry your pup went missing 😭

[@Lionforaday]

I don't think I've seen better parents, and the fact that Thom & Alicia were parenting an exhausted mama dog & her 8 babies only makes this story more special. Bless you both - and postpartum therapy dog Ruby - for giving sweet Cholula her much-deserved second-chance, and for giving her babies the best start in life that puppies could have. For eight wonderful families, you are truly a gift.

What a lovely thing to say. I couldn't agree more. 😊❤

Let me take a moment to say that there is nothing more attractive than seeing a grown man exude such a level of patience, compassion, and love for an animal. It’s something I can definitely appreciate. Thank you.

Right? When he was tucking that blanket around Cholula as she was falling asleep I shed a real tear.

Just think about all the innocent dogs and puppies that god murdered in the great flood, so sad.

[@Vaahteranlehti]

@vixxee_ God doesn't have anything to do with dogs. Dogs are scavengers and stray dogs to God. Matthew 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces".

[@Double_Elle]

Since there is no evidence for ANY of the 3000+ gods that humans have invented, they actually don't have anything to do with anything! All religions are cults and cause so much injustice. Science flies men to the moon, religion flies men into buildings.

That guy is such a treasure! Fostering even though your heart gets broken over and over is the highest form of animal love.

[@dlpacres4718]

It's a happy break tho. You most definitely fall in love with your fosters, but you know you've helped give them a second chance at the live and love they deserve and that they must move on so you can save more lives. I tell all of the adopters that my foster is coming to them with a piece of my heart.

[@archervine8064]

@@dlpacres4718 still, that takes a special person. I think I would always wonder how they are doing, if their new family is as great as they seem, etc.
