Tucker Update
Tucker, fostered in August 2011 - he was an owner surrender, very sad story that led him to needing a new home. The poor thing really didn't understand all the changes that were happening to him but he slowly started to come out his shell with me... Well long story short, a family in Yakima found him and made them part of his family and he has just been blossoming over the past almost two years with them.
He was very wary of men but his new dad was so patient and willing to go Tucker's speed that he won him over through time and trust. He's still wary of men sometimes, but not of his dad anymore and they are best friends! (awww).
He gets to "GO" for rides in his dad's truck and in the 5th wheel for camping trips. He is definitely part of the family, he loves to run in the yard and be chased by the baby who has learned to run after him. He is his dad's best friend and his mom's protector, They love love him to death and he has surely found his "furever home" in the house and in their hearts.
Makes fostering all worth it - to able to connect Tucker to these wonderful people!

Jolly Good Times!
It happened finally! One of the dogs likes the pink Jolly ball and it's SPRITE! We are working on "fetch" with her and so far she doesn't get it and gets annoyed that you keep throwing her toy away, but I think she has it in her to really enjoy and with some time and treats, she will be a big fan in no time.

PlayTime is All Day!
Sprite has learned the doggie door, her housetraining is coming along and I would say she is almost housetrained, but sometimes needs little nudges to go outside... She's not a fan of the dark so she likes the company I think..
She is busy, loves to play with her toys and has figured out where the toy box is and likes to empty it, find a toy she likes, walk it all over the house in her mouth and then shake it to pieces, drop it and then move on to the next one. Fun to watch but I spend a lot of my time putting toys away, she spends her time bringing them back out! She also will play tug with you but will then want to play with you and not the toy!
She also had brought in bark from outside, tried to eat a tea candle and likes to gnaw on dead plants (but not the live ones!), bringing them to her dog bed for a tasty snack..yumm - so you got to keep an eye what she's finding outside!

she LOVES to find the sunspot to heat up in and take a nap!
She is really good natured, happy and affectionate... she is just a little love bug!

Silly Sleeper
So Sprite is settling into the routine of the household... She is very sweet with a little goofiness too.. A perfect combo I say! She also is such the silly sleeper. it doesn't look comfortable to me but she seems to enjoy sleeping on her back with her feet up!
Her housetraining is coming along and she is using the doggie door on her own and running back in full speed to collect her treat!
She needs to work on her manners a bit with dogs and cats... She wants to be friends so bad that she doesn't always listen or pay attention to them saying no. She finally got herself a smack by the neighbors cat for getting to close, going nose to nose with him and that seemed to catch her attention. She didn't growl but instead backed away from him and mellowing out...
She also has gone on a few walks and does great on her leash.. She enjoys wandering the neighborhood and seeing the sights... She's an active little girl and she's very interested in learning new thing!

Doggie Door Master
Mastering the doggie door... She was quick to learn how to come in from the doggie door after just a few tries! She's people oriented so it was just as simple as calling her in and once she figured out the flap wasn't a scary monster, she was good to go!
Next, letting herself out the doggie door... I really don't think that will be a problem for her at all!
