Updates

Baxter, (formally Mulder) got to finally welcome baby Max to the family... Sleepy dad, says all is going well with the new baby Max... they are interested in the baby, some licks and checking out to see if there is any food... They are making sure they get attention and baby-free time time too.  They look like a happy family to me! 

ah.. Simon... I grabbed these pictures off of instagram... the post on the picture below was "These two are exhausted after a day of ripping up toilet paper and tearing down anything hanging from the wall that is less than 4 ft from the ground."  Sounds like they are partners in crime!  They sure try to look innocent don't they? 

Then, they got to experience some rainy camping days, which maybe wasn't so fun, but they got to cuddle lots.  They look like such a fun pair to me - I'm happy they have each other...

 And some pictures of Sparrow!  All recovered from her dislocated toe injury and ready to rumble.   It's fun to watch her grow up. 

Lola (former foster Scully, ) and new sister to Silas (now Teddy).. got to be in a photoshoot for her dad's shoe catalog... I think her and her mom look great!  Lola and Teddy are doing great together.

It's weird to not have any foster dogs these past couple weeks and sometimes I feel like I'm missing a dog...but I don't think Sasha and Skeeter are missing it so much and are enjoying the mellower pace (aka, lots of naps!). 

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... :)

her family

Merry Christmas to all the New Rattitude dogs who have found their families to spend Christmas with and all the dogs who are patiently waiting for families of their own in wonderful New Rattitude foster homes!  We will make that happen in 2016!

Updates on Sparrow and Mulder

So Sparrow is busy settling in with his new people and Gollum,  her new fur-brother...  She's doing well and getting along great and I'm sure loving all the attention.  They've got some obedience training planned for her  which she will just be a superstar at it I'm sure!  Sad to see her and her spunky energy go, but Sasha not so much - she'll be resting up for sure :).  Lots of fun play ahead for Sparrow for sure! 

 
Baxter too (formally Mulder) - is doing superbly - he is great buddies with his fursister Maddie and they are cuddling together... He gets to go on lots of hikes and this little tripawd dog had no problems with doing 11 miles! Of course, we knew that!  Love seeing him so happy and loved :) 

I'm Adopted!!!

So cute little Sparrow got herself a new family in no time... She's heading over to Western Washington on Thursday where she has human sibling and a dog sibling to boot!  Lots of changes in store for her but she's going to do great; she gonna have lots of people to give kisses to and lots of love! 

Before the news!

 After the news!!!

I will be taking a foster dog break for a bit but I'll be back in October... Gonna let Sasha rest up for a bit!

XoXoXo

Had a new lipstick and with Sparrow's white fur; she ended up with a kiss tattoo!    She's not a huge fan of the head kisses; she would rather kiss you! 

Playdate time!

Took Sparrow back to the dog park to hang out... She did good...it was busier this time; quite a few dogs there...  a little barking; but it was mostly at people - her version of hi I think... A little teeth and growl at some bigger dogs that kind of had her sandwiched in between them... Easily diffused before it got out of hand... she's easily distracted onto new things so it's easy to move her out of there but you gotta keep an eye on her if she's getting nervous... There was an argument with some other dogs and she wanted to join in on the barking but treats and quick grab of her kept her out of the way...
.

 At the end of our visit; she met Hercules and finally go to get her play on...   They ran and chased and seemed to really be into each other... It was pretty cute to see...I knew she could do it! 

 But the real reason we came was to see TUCKER!  Tucker was one of my first dogs in my 1st year of fostering and lives in Yakima... He's a bigger RT - about 16 lbs and 6 years old now.   While him and Sparrow didn't really play together, they hung out and Sparrow seemed to enjoy following him... He's an energetic boy and it was good to see him and hear about him. He's got great parents and is a lucky boy.   He's as handsome as ever and boy, still the jumper!! I didn't get as nearly as many pictures of him as I wanted, but he enjoyed checking out the park; doing some fence patrolling with Sparrow and then it was all about the critters when he found out they were hanging out in the branches of the trees!  Great video of him getting amped about the critters and Sparrow not sure what was going on but wanting to be part of the action!  ----->Critter Huntin video

PeekAboo!

So when Sparrow first got here, she was a bit of door dasher... She actually got out loose a couple of times in the first week; being small and dashing out so fast.  But she is so people focused and as I keep treats near the door (as I've learned from experience), with being calm and offering treats; we were able to get her back in quickly, safely without her going very far.  I don't even think she realized she was outside... She has since learned a bit of control and is "most of the time" able to wait when the door is open; but we don't push it; she's learning...  She however, does not like it when we leave without her... I was just going to check the mail and I got the most pitiful "i'm in jail" faces ever from her that I had to snap some shots!  And yes; she did lick the screen window!   She licks when she is anxious I've noticed and thinking that she was left behind or me not coming in; rather taking pictures; made her a little sad!  But look at those paws; she's just got the greatest feets!   

Sparrow Vs Technology

Sparrow has a new BFF, Keegan... He comes over to visit Cassie and Sparrow just wants all the attention first!  Here she is working on her charisma to get his attention away from his phone! 

 Look at her tail - just a blur... she's so happy...
