Work Time!

 Skipper is a little timid around people, but a trip to my work had him exploring and meeting all the people!  He even got to sit on Debi's lap for a higher look around!  He did good and was just a little nervous though eager to keep going and make sure all had been sniffed....

 Going to work makes for a tired pup!  Nap time!

He likes to nap not next to me, but within eyeball distance... but it's okay.. it makes for good pictures!

Settling In...

 Skipper is settling his cute self in the house... He made friends with the neighbor dog and already has taken to following Sasha around wherever she goes, like her little shadow.   

He's a little worried and stiff when you pick him up but we will give him time.   He likes to perch on the back of the couch like a cat (and nap, also like a cat).  Great picture that Cassie took.

He liked checking out the garden and loves exploring the back yard... We've started him on a house training scheduling and he's a little whining in the crate at night but settles quickly enough.

It's nice to have another dog in the house though my dog is like "really, we are still doing this? " It was a little rough transition the first day and Skipper was barking and Sasha wasn't sure she liked him at all, but day two seems to have brought calmness to the two of them and they are able to share the same space  and with him taking to following her, I think they have figured it out. 

Yipee Skippee!

I know I said he came last week, but he actually didn't get to my house until yesterday. There was a transportation flubub and I was out of town... but it doesn't matter, cause he's here and he's ADORABLE!

Picked him up from the Rattiefest and foster mom Julee had kept him overnight... He sure loved loved playing with all the ratties that were there! (Pictures to come)  I loved it too cause he was an exausted little puppy when he got to Yakima!

He's about 7lbs, full tail and about 6 months old... He wasn't sure what to make of the new surroundings, but was quite as a peep in his crate last night and full of tail wags this morning!  

 He's a snuggler and just was happy and content to rest up after his busy day... I look forward to getting to know more about him!

Skipper Arrives!

Who's this little guy?   He is our newest foster arriving today!  He's 6 months, about 7 lbs and I think needs that little pink and black nose kissed!  He already had an S name, so we kept that too!

After a quiet month, we are (maybe not Sasha) looking forward to this little guy and some play time!  More pictures coming!

Updates!!!

Sweet Sandy who was adopted this February is doing great - here she got to sit on her daddy's lap while he was at work!  She was just a sweetheart at work and everyone loved her (who wouldn't huh). 

Sheriff (now Max), the puppy just adopted in May, wasn't feeling well and his family took him to the vet and it turns out he needed surgery!  He's doing great now and he quit pouting once he got out of the cone!  He's parent say they had lots of trouble keeping him mellow and calm following his surgery he so quickly recovered...  I'm so glad his new family was there to take care of him and see so quickly that he wasn't feeling well and get him the help he needed.. He sure is a lucky boy!

Sylvia, now Rue, is continuing to do well in her new home with Renae... Rue will go to the cabinet where her food is kept and spin in front of it to let her mom know it's dinner time!  She's loving all the hiking and she, after 3 weeks, let her mom see her rattie runs!  Way to go!
