Mona Update

Mona was adopted this morning. She is a sweet love who is so deserving of a loving home after a very rocky start in life. Merry Christmas Mona!

Ahh... Christmas Vacation

Yeah! We are officially on winter break. For the first time in 14 years we will not be heading up north to Massachusetts for Christmas. Our girls will actually have Christmas on Christmas for the first time ever. We will miss our family and friends a great deal over this holiday, but it was just too hard to do this year, financially & with all the other logistics that need to be planned. We will relax and enjoy the time off. Grammy & Papa are coming to visit from FLA for a couple of days and bringing sweet Marty with them. He is now a whopping 8 lbs and probably won't get much bigger, if any at all.

We have another foster that I picked up today. Her name is Mona and what a gentle soul she is! Personally, I would love to change her name, but she is going to meet prospective owners tomorrow so our relationship may be very short-lived. She was found stray about 8 weeks ago and has blossomed into a wonderful house dog due to some diligent work from her former foster mother.

Fostering sure is hard on the heart..

Well it seems like its been a while since my last post when we were just picking up Sunny. It's only been 8 days since I picked him up at the local animal shelter and let me say that there is no better ambassador dog for the motto "ADOPT DON'T SHOP"! He is the most energetic happy dog I have ever met in my life. He oozes happiness and it is contagious to all who encounter him. He gets along with everyone; human and animal. He is well behaved in the house, on the leash,etc. What a wonderful, wonderful dog!

Sadly though, today was our last day together as he went to his new home. I left him with tears in my eyes hoping he knew how much we came to love him in such a short time.

Is that a long tongue or what??

Foster update

We said goodbye to Wiggles this morning as he makes his way to Rhode Island for his new and forever home. Somebody is getting a very, very good dog, and we will miss him a bunch.

On Monday we will pick up our next temporary foster pup Sunny. Sunny has another foster home with lots of rambunctious dogs to go to, but he is being neutered on Monday and needs a quiet place to rest for 4 or 5 days. Sunny is lab/pit bull mix and really looks like you took Wonder (our lab) and Lexi (our pit bull) and mixed them together. How cute is he???

Mr. WIggles update

It sure is a good thing that Mr. Wiggles already has a forever home to go to on Friday. He is an absolute gift! He is super snuggly with lots of kisses for all, he loves to play and hasn't had any accidents in this short time we have had him. I know we are going to miss him a bunch!
This weekend I was attempting to take some pictures of all my furry & non-furry children separately to collage together and put on Christmas cards. Easier said than done when working with 2 dogs, 5 cats & 2 humans! I only got 1 suitable picture out of the bunch. I guess I will just have to use pictures I already have.
