Serena's growing up!

Serena was 4 months when she was adopted by the Sayer's in Oregon... In just one short month, she has grown a bunch!  She's doing great and even gets to go to rattie meet up's which is fanstastic!  Way to go little one!

CCCChanges... (Foster Updates)

So quiet in the house without the puppies or any foster dogs... Sasha is enjoying the peace I think... plus a leftover found bully stick (that I had put up and away and then forgot about) yesterday just made her day!

Serena is busy settling in with her new family down in Oregon.. She even got to meet some chickens that live on the property!  She is keeping her name and getting lots of love and attention.    Sidney too, is busy in Seattle getting to know her new routine and she has a new name... Aela (pronounced ay-lah) which is Gaelic for full of excitement and happiness, which is certainly in store for her!

Sidney in her new home enjoying a good chew!

My next foster dog, Scarlett, is in California where she is waiting in another NR foster home until she can be brought up here... She should arrive on Saturday and I'm excited to meet her!  She's black and white and tiny, at about 5 lbs!

 



Serena says I'm Adopted!

Well of course it's happened... Serena has been adopted!  She is heading off to live her puppy life in Portand Oregon with a great family including two human brothers!  I will miss her spirit and puppy kisses but know she is in for a fun grand life!   She will be going home on Sunday when I meet her parents over in Seattle.  Best wishes Serena!

Look at her little puppy teeth (fangs) and I had to get a picture of her great puppy feet/foot... She is very tolerant of us messing with her, which is good cause I love puppy feet and hers are really cute - love that little spot on her big pad... :)  

***a problem with Blogger caused my blog to go down for a bit and me to draft the posts with videos in them... it's fixed now and my most recent videos are back up... :)

Feeling Better!

 Both girls continue to heal from there surgery (Sidney left - Serena right)... Today they have better energy levels and you can tell they feel much better... Serena's seems to be feeling really good cause I've had to catch her a few times from jumping up on the couch... Sidney, a little tinnier, eyes the couch like she wants to jump, but seems to be content to have me lift her up (she's probably just likes me waiting on her)
 

Cute picture of Sidney from earlier this week... she can be a bit a jumping little thing... Here she was saying.. put the camera down and pick me up.. please please please!  Serena just gives you soulful eyes at you to try to get you to do her bidding...

Now that they are feeling better, I can hopefully get more active (and in focus) photos!

Resting up...

Both the girls surgeries and vaccinations went very well this morning... I picked them up today at 3:00 and they were happy to see me and get out of there..

Serena now weighs 7 lbs and Sidney is coming in at 5.1 lbs. so they sure are growing! A quick stop at a friend's house and they were all tails wagging and puppy kisses.  We settled them in for a quick nap while I helped Amber with with some paint choices and then we went home...

Lots of sleeping this afternoon with potty breaks and it seems to be going well.. A little water and food just a bit ago and they are passed out again... It gives me a good excuse to stay in and snuggle under the blankets with them and Sasha even joined us..She likes the puppies at this speed :)  ... Though I have no doubt in a day or two, they will be back to their normal selves! 

Yesterday,  Sidney and Serena in the exercise pen giving me the sad eyes to be let out... Serena has very good, oh please let me out and I will love you forever sad eyes... they are hard to resist!

Stealthiness

Sidney in the red collar, Serena in pink... Sidney likes to stealth attack... get into small places her sister can't and wait for her!

 And thanks Serena for reminding me to get that plastic piece installed under my dishwasher!  I don't think she can get under there but better safe than sorry!

Tomorrow will be a busy day... both girls are heading off to the vets for their spay surgery, microchips and vaccinations.  Wish them luck and speedy recoveries!

 Here is my last picture of cute Silver while we were waiting for her parents to pick her up in CleElum (it was cold outside!).  Sure miss her, but good things are in store for her with her new family who were so excited to meet her and take her home! 

Serena & Sidney

Serena!  If you look closely - you can see she has white whiskers on one side of her face and black on the other!

Sidney half in the snuggle sack, half out...andd one with her tongue just a little bit out.

Sidney!  All white whiskers for her

She makes the goofiest faces while playing... they are just the happiest little things....

Who Let the Dogs Out?

Sidney and Serena have mastered the doggie dog with the help of Cassie who really helped them "get it".  Sidney was a little ahead of her sister in figuring it out, but Serena has figured out she gets treats and is much more enthusiastic about getting out there and back for her treat! Last night they both even went out to potty in the light rain/snow, which i s wonderful and I think means they really get it!

Silver enjoys playing with them for sure... though sometimes she needs her space too... They are busy little things...This was suppose to be nap time...

Everyone has had a busy few days... Trips to the pet store...trips to friends houses, meeting cats and dogs and kids, walks and lots of playing!

They were quite a hit at the pet store.. Lot's of ooohs and ahhhhs.  Silver did great too, walking around, not worried or scared and accepted a few pets .. just enjoying checking things out.  The girls liked meeting new people, running up to them (with permission of course) and giving away puppy kisses for free! 

Silver goes home tomorrow to start her new wonderful life so it's time for bathing and a nail trim to get her all prettied up... I will miss her but I am excited for her too!  And I don't care if she doesn't use the sleep sack quite the way it was intended... works for her!

Silver's Adopted!

While Silver has been busy snoozing...a wonderful thing has happened... She's got her very own people!  A great couple over in Western WA are more than ready to give little Silver the home she deserves...   It's been wonderful to watch Silver come slowly out of her shell this past month and i know she will continue to loved and taken care of and continue to feel safe and secure with her new family.... Way to Go Silver! 

She'll still be with me a little while while final arrangements are made to get her home... She's been great with the puppies and I'll miss my little "babysitter"! 

Laxer eyes!

grrrrr.. mine!

Let Sleeping Dogs... Sleep!

As things go from very quiet and calm to very busy and noisy... I can't help but pull out the camera when the dogs are sleeping... They are so sweet...

 As sisters, they firmly believe if one has it, it must be good so the other must have it too... always wanting to play/chew on the same thing... they are good sharers most of the time...

I also found the video of Silver running about my friends house...showing off her fast rattie skills... so so much happier and relaxed these days.. it's nice to see her run!

Meeting Friends!

This was how tuckered Silver was last night.. so tired she couldn't keep her tongue in her mouth!

And now Cassie has a posse of four legged "friends" that join her when she eats pizza on the couch - fun times!


Everyone had a busy day today... off we went to my friends house to visits kids, big dogs and kitty cats...

 They explored the backyard, and Silver did some major showing off - doing fast rattie runs all over the yard to show everyone has fast she is... She is fast!
 

Everyone did super meeting Mia and the big dogs - Sadie and Sherriff... No playing with the bigs dogs, just interest and polite greetings... Sidney is the less fearful of the two (with the bigger spot on her back)... Serena took a bit to warm up, choosing to check out the situation first from a safe lap.. Then she wanted down and was ready... They both immediately took to Mia and gave her lots of puppy kisses - even Silver got in on the action.

..

 Kitty cat meeting went fine... Sidney and Silver both sniffed and ignored... Serena did a bit of barking, but once she figured out there wasn't going to be any reaction, she moved on... 

 

A cute picture of Sadie - she stole the girl's little tiny tennis ball..

All and all the three girls did great and they were asleep in the crate before we were out of the driveway!
