Sherlock goes home and updates!

My last photos of Sherlock before sending him off to his new home... He met his new family and
was his regular charming self and they were smitten of course...He's a lucky boy and in
for lots of new adventures... cannot wait to hear about them... He's got training classes coming up in a week and I'm sure he's gonna be a super star!  

 Sparrow -  who was adopted last August.. poor gal dislocated her toe a few weeks ago but she's sporty a fancy pink soft cast and healing up nicely... I didn't even know that could happen!!  She does have long toes though as the picture I got of her greeting me through my screen door attests!

And Mulder, now Baxter, has great news too... Him and his fur sister Maddie are getting a human sibling!  His parents posted a great facebook post about it... too adorable!  What's amazing too; is that is was just a year ago he was recovered from his rear leg amputation and adopted! 

And Mina (formerly Sabrina) is celebrating her 3 year "I've been adopted" anniversary this month!  I can't believe it's been that long!  Love watching all her adventures on facebook too!

New pup coming in a couple of weeks, we are calling him Silas... until then Sasha and Skeeter will rest up... :)

I'm Adopted!

Lucky Sherlock didn't have to wait long for his forever family... He's heading to Eastern Oregon with a retired couple who are going to spoil this little man rotten (and are signing him up for some training courses too!) - he'll get plenty of attention and love and their daughter has a dog that hopefully will enjoy playing with him sometimes too!  He's heading home on Monday so we have a few days left with this little fellow and then he's off to his new life!

He snuck in under the covers where Skeeter was sleeping for a nap.. He does work on trying to get, keep on her good side... It doesn't always work; but times like this, it does!

Making More Friends

Yes, another trip to the dog park.. it's such a great way to get Sherlock's energy out after a day in the house... This time we met up with former foster Skipper and they got to play chase with each other and hung out in the smaller dog park area...

Then this puppy husky Aurora came.  While Skipper wasn't up to playing with her, Sherlock was all game!  They ran and ran and ran...

When we came home, Sherlock was tired, but not so tired he didn't want to still play.  Luckily he is good at amazing himself with some fun toys.  Sherlock playing with tennis ball toy

Time to Snooze!

he sure loves snoozing on my blanket...of course he has to grab a few toys to keep him company while he takes a snooze...  He very much likes to be under my desk where I have a foot warmer that  keeps him nice and cozy.. I don't mind the extra fuzzy foot rest! 

Time To Play!!!!

Another visit to the dog park... Weather was nice and he needed to get some energy out...

 He's loves playing with all dogs of all sizes...gotta watch though that they aren't too rough with him. This guy however, was just a sweet as could be and him and Sherlock were good buddies...

 

This big guy was super interested in the stick (prize) that Sherlock had.. I kept him with me with nice butt scratches until Sherlock was done with his stick chewing... 

 Sherlock is great at the park..it's fun watching him play and trying to entice the other dogs to chase him... He has a super good time...

Making himself at home...

              This boy always has a toy in his mouth or nearby... He loves himself some toys! 

 Skeeter took his toy when he wasn't playing with it to nibble on... of course, he wants it back once someone else shows interest but it's quite brave enough...

And it's nap time... He is such a good cuddler!

Going to the Pet Store time!

A visit to the pet store; he did great; though it was super empty of people and critters... nothing seems to faze this little man; he is just more than willing to experience new things and get his smell on.. 

 Then he saw the birds... he really wanted to stay with the birds.. I'm guessing a little prey instinct he's got and I'll have to watch to see if he chases any birds in the yard.. He really didn't want to leave his new friends

 He is a fun little dog.  Energetic and willing to go where you are going but he's also got that lovely off switch and enjoys a good nap and snuggle. 

Playtime at the Dog Park

We took Sherlock to the dog park and he made friends with everyone... He made sure he met all the people and got pets from them... and then started working his charm on the dogs too.. He loved being chased! 

 He even got into playing tug with this sweet gentle dog..size didn't matter to Sherlock; just a willingness to play!   He was smart too; when the big dogs got fast and playing with each other; he got out of the way of that craziness; preferring a slower speed.

 He was a worn out puppy went we got home, but he had a lot of fun..

 

Sherlock settling in...

Meet spunky little Sherlock!  He's 2 years old, very playful and loves himself some people... As you can see by the picture below, he doesn't care very much for baths, but we made it up to him with snuggles... He's quickly making himself at home...

Sasha and Skeeter aren't sure about this playful little boy, but once he got the message that they weren't interested in playing with him, things went much smoother...

 He loves toys!  All toys... He get them out of the few boxes I have full of toys and helps himself to them.. He's into fetching and throwing but he also plays by himself too... He's very good at amusing himself but of course likes you to participate too!  Here he is with an "egg baby" (that he did destuff quickly, but I sewed back up -minus the squeaker for him) and he was off playing with it again.. So far, he hasn't met a toy he doesn't like...

 He's awesome in the crate at night and patient in the morining too!  We have him on a housetraining schedule and he's well on his way... He also knows sit... He's a smart boy!

A New Dog is Afoot!

Meet cute little Sherlock!  He'll be coming to town on Sunday and he's sure to bring some new energy to this household of senior girls!  We are excited to meet him and his cute little face!  He's about a year old. Not sure of his size, but with that face does it matter?  I'll be heading over to pick up with little guy myself with Skeeter in tow.  Fun times ahead!
