I'm Adopted!

Whosa happy puppy!?!  Sylvester is!  He's got himself a great new family and a fur sibling rat terrier named Samson to play with!  He went home yesterday and I'm gonna miss this sweet little dog, but he's and gonna do great and will enjoy his new family and walks around greenlake! 

Last day with Sylvester... This is me petting his belly, then his butt... 

 and again!... such a silly boy

Time to Get Pretty!

It was brushing time for Sasha (you can see her fluffy self in the background of a few pictures, being bitter and not looking at me) - and Sylvester wanted in on the action... He loved being brushed!   He just turned into a lump... I think it's his kryptonite!   He was in heaven and thought it was the best thing ever!   He definitely doesn't have Sasha-tude when it comes to grooming time! 

 

A Stroll in the Park

Cassie took Sylvester for a walk in the park... He loved getting out and seeing at the new things.. his favorite?  rolling in duck poop!   What he didn't love?  The bath when he got home!  But then he did he got the zooomies after his bath and all was good again! 

So he did great on the leash, wasn't really interested in other people and or dogs that he saw... just enjoying the sights and smells (and duck poop!)

Goofy Time!

                      Just being goofy with Sylvester (who does not appreciate what I call goofy).  

Antenna Ears!

Just so gorgeous but sleepy pictures of Sylvester doing some sunnying... I imagine he will love summer and the heat that with it and get good warm snoozes in lounging in a sunbeam...

He's got great ears... When he is tired...they remind me of radar antennae!  Antenna Ears! - he was sooooo sleepy and enjoying the warm sun!  He did not think it was picture time like I did!

Out and About!

Another visit to the small park area and meet up with Tucker... We thought maybe they would play since they have before when Tucker was visiting, but it was of a sniff and check out the surroundings and being mellow kind of day... Perfect fall weather though... The bigger dog park area was super busy today; I'm glad we have this smaller area!

 Fence greeting lots of bigger dogs... no barking or anything (which was great).....

                                                                             We even had some other smaller dogs come visit! 

 Tucker's mom in the background.... :)    We also made a quick stop at Pet Pantry so some yummy treats... Sylvester was such a gentleman except when he stole a low lying treat in the bulk area, but we bought some since he liked them so much... He deserved it! 

Making New Friends

Took Sylvester to meet up with former foster Skipper at the dog park... they have this little area fenced off area for small dogs that is never used... it was a good place for Sylvester to get outside and meet another small dog without getting crazy.... He isn't too sure about those bigger dogs anyway..they make him nervous....

I didn't get a lot of pictures (phone died) but they play a bit with each other and of course played pee wars with even Skippers tiny sister Fifi joining in. 

Skipper is doing well, growing, but still have that sweet puppy face... I even got him to trust me enough to hold him and enjoyed some snuggles.  Sylvester really has a nice mellow dog manner about him and he enjoyed himself, meeting new people and getting extra pets!

Thanks to Vana and Keira for bring their pups out for a playdate!

Grass for Sylvester!

So Sylvester does not like the taste of grass!  bleh he says!  

Soooo not impressed....He knows it's not a treat!  

We just spent some time in the back yard enjoying the last of the nice days that are having... They will be over so soon... Sylvester is such a fun, playful dog... He just likes his tiny tennis balls and we had fun throwing them and him bringing them back...  And he has the cutest eyeballs!  :)

AND THEN LOTS OF BELLY RUBS!

 This little boy loves being petted for sure... He will ask you by nuzzling his head against you, kind of saying, pretty pretty please! 

Sorta Buddies

Skittles is heading home today and while these two didn't interact together much or play... Skittles choice, not Sylvester's... they did fine together and Sylvester really enjoyed/s the dashes outside whenever Skittles or Sasha hears something outside worth investigating...  I do believe he would do really well with a well manner dog that would be interested in playing...

                           A pair of cuties!                                                   A couple of goofballs!

 Fun having Skittles this week -  I enjoyed all the cuddling which I think is his favorite thing!

Joy of the Tennis Ball!

So Sylvester doesn't know how to play fetch very well..that is, till we brought out the tiny tennis ball and then the fun began!  Turns out he loves tiny tennis balls... fetches, rolls on them, just holds them in his mouth looking all proud and then a drop and a gaze of "please throw the tiny tennis ball again" and he's off again.    I'm glad I found the interactive toy finally that he likes!    He

 He is pretty amped up about the tiny tennis balls... #1 toy for sure!

 He is now burrowing under the covers for naptimes as the weather gets chilly and to date, no accidents in the house and uses the doggie door as he pleases.  We are working on sit and no jumping as he gets very excited about food, visits and well... just about anything!  He's a smart cookie - he will get it.  We are also going to introduce food puzzles to him cause I think he will really enjoy those!

Pet Store Buds

Little Skittleman is visiting me for the week while his mom is on a business trip... He meet Sylvester before - his mom actually help with the last leg of his transport bring him to Cle Elum for me!  It's great to see who Skittles is just flourishing with his mom and I enjoy catching up with the little snugglebug! 

 Since Skittles and Sylvester get along pretty good - I thought I would take them to the pet store on a Y harness... They did good together... I don't think Skittles was totally thrilled but Sylvester didn't mind a bit.  They enjoyed checking out the store and sniffing things... Sylvester did try to pee on a few things so I took him back out for a potty break and that seemed to do the trick. 

No greats with people as I wasn't sure how either of them would do being linked to each other... rather just let them check out the store and then tendon treats for the trip home!  They were super cute together and did really well on the leash.. I think Skittles was a big help since he's such a pro at the leash and! led most of the way
