The Runway!

So since Sawyer is heading home soon..  I figured this was our last chance...

TUTU time!  

It might not be right to some, but he kind of rocks his pink/purple tutu!

Little Skye got her self a fancy dress to wear too.  She was pretty cute and tried to help her brother out by chew and trying to take off his tutu, which was nice of her by his standards!

 He look like some kind of tulle-dinosaur! A tullasoraus!

 It didn't last long, just long enough for a photo shoot and then we were done with the clothes...but I soudl see either of them wearing a fancy sweater or two when the weather turns colder!

Play, Fight or Bark - too many choices!

Skye isn't sure what to make of our cat (Sarah).  Sarah mostly hangs out in Cassie's room where we have a baby gate up so she has a free safe space that she can always go to anyway from the dogs. 
In this video, Cassie is in there playing with Sarah and the puppies want to watch.  Skye wants to do a little barking, but they get distracted and play with each other too. Hysterical!  My favorite part - synchronized tail waggin..watch for it!


We are working with Skye and her barking at the cat by taking her in, playing and giving treats around Sarah so she can see that kitty cats are not anything she needs to be worried about.. Sawyer has gone in there too, but he's not really interested in the cat at all - more interested in her FOOD! 

Sawyer's Adopted!

Sweet Sawyer has been adopted!  He's getting an older fur-brother and playmate named Oli and a cat too!  He will be living life on the west side of the mountains with his new parents who just fell in love with him when they met him.  Life is getting ready to change for him but in good ways!  Happy journeys little silly Sawyer!

Another Trip to a Pet Store!

So Sawyer and Skye got to make yet another trip to the pet store, but this one is a smaller, independent pet store called Pet Pantry.  I love this pet store and the people that work there! 

Sawyer and Skye are now old pro's at visiting the pet store... Lots of greats and sniffing. No worries from them at all during this visit.  Skye hung back for a few when meeting pepple there but even she could not resist running up to meet a staff person for some pets.   I didn't get any pictures, but Sawyer was quite taken with the pet store dog Spot and they did some playing too!

Time to home came soon so they got to try out the doggie booster seat and together!  They were actually pretty good riders and didn't whine other than the first few minutes as they figure out where and how to did.  Admittedly they are pretty cute when they were laying down and about all you could see was ears (OMG - how cute will that be when their ears stand up too!)

Who Loves Irises?

Look at Sawyer, with the help of Cassie, wishing me a happy birthday on Tuesday! 

We have super weather right now.. very warm but not hot and the puppies are loving it with lots of soaking up of the rays and lots of outside time... They have discovered my irises and like all the fosters dogs, are fascinated by them and have started hanging out in them!

sawyer playing peek a boo!

 Both are healing well from their spueters on Friday - Sawyer has completely rebounded and no more cone for him for the past few days... Skye got her cone/collar off today too.  I'm sure both are so happy to lose those cones/collars - but they were cute with them!

Happy Labor Day!

Look how happy Sawyer is to get some "cone free" time!  He love himself a sun spot.  I love little heated dogs coming back in the house, they are like little heat pads of cuddles!

 Skye can manage to get her foot through the pro-collar (too big I think), so we switched her to cone... I actually think she can sleep better - she looks pretty comfy to me!

Road to Recovery

 Sawyer, quickly earned himself a cone shortly after coming home from his vet visit.  But other than that, he is doing well.  Other than some soreness, he is tail waggin', happy to be home and we have had to hold him back from playing with his sister.

I did hear from the vet that he was a bit of a whiner when he woke up, but quickly settled when he was put in the same space as his sister.  I can image that was scary, waking up sore without his sister, wondering what was going on, so I don't blame him.

He isn't a fan of the cone (who is?), but he can eat, drink and play.  He still wants to give you kisses, so we have to maneuver a bit to not get smacked by the cone! 

 Skye mostly slept yesterday, with occasional trips outside.  She was happy went she finally got to eat but she's mostly taking it easy and getting some good naps in. No cone for her on Friday but once she woke up and got a bit active, it was time for her too... but she got a pro-collar...

Sasha is really be sweet on them - she even tolerated some "I'm happy to see you again" muzzle licks when they first got home. And it's kind of funny to watch her sniff them and them not appreciate it.. turn about it's fair play after all, they get sneaky (or not so sneaky) sniffs in all the time!

Other news.. the potty training is moving along really well, and sleeping in separate crates has been quiet too which is great.. Last night, they got some exposure to the vacuum cleaner and while Skye hid out in the crate, Sawyer (with the aid of Sasha who is isn't bothered in the least), got brave and hung around (up on the couch) to survey the activity!
