These puppies are very strange! They are so scared, and they don't play. I have never met a puppy that doesn't play...

Hope they feel at home soon.

California Christmas

Well, we never have a white Christmas, but we do have the ocean! :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful day...

I was so excited for winter, but now it is in the 80's again! Didn't think we would be turning on the air again so soon.

Bleh

We have been sick and needed a break from fostering, but I am missing the little cuties.

Life is so much more fun with a pack of puppies around.

The good news is that Daisy is finally warming up a bit to Nai-Nai. I have caught her playing with Nai-Nai instead of running away from her.

We have the first rain of the season coming tonight. It is always fun to try and get the dogs to go outside when the sky is falling.

My Girls

New Collar and Tags

She looks kind of huge in this photo, but she is only three pounds. This humid weather sure does a number on her hair-do!

Puppies, Clouds and Sunsets

All of my favorite things today.

The photo of Nai-Nai was taken just as she took a flying leap onto Daisy's back.

Tim and Nai-Nai

Alpha and the Big Dogs

I love how Alpha and Daisy are mirroring each other in these photos.

A Visit From Kooger

The people that came to see the puppies today brought their sweet dog, Kooger.

Alpha destroyed any hope of being adopted by literally shrieking when he saw the dog. He then ran and hid. Not cool.

Jethro barked at Kooger like crazy.

They ended up choosing Bravo because she was the most comfortable with Kooger.

Alpha and Jethro are gonna need a little pep talk before the next adopters arrive. They need to put their best foot forward and stop acting like little maniacs. :)

*Sniff*

Hope and Oso have been adopted.

They both went to wonderful homes, but I miss their little faces.

Hope went yesterday to a home with two kids and a cat. Her new owners emailed me today to say that she was settling in well.

The couple that came over today wanted Alpha. Well, we have had a time with Alpha and his barking, so when I saw that they lived in an apartment and were first time dog owners, I had to speak up.

We put Alpha in the pen and did a little demonstration of what he sounds like when he wants attention. So they ended up taking Oso. He is the quietest and mellowest of the litter, and will probably be a great apartment dweller.

It felt good to help them make a choice, but it meant they took my little Oso.

We are definitely keeping Nai-Nai. She already fits right in and it is like she has been here all along. She has the most adorable bark. She sounds like one of those toy dogs. And she will roll on her back and play with you like a cat.

So tomorrow we have another person coming to see the puppies. She is bringing her other dog along to see which puppy will be most compatible, so it should be fun.

Rest

The puppies had their spay/neuter surgery today. I also noticed they
were missing their little dew claws!

Jane and Daisy freaked out when the pups left this morning. I was
trying to get some sleep and they were barking and pawing at my door.

So everyone is happy to have the little ones home for now.

Aunt Jane

Aunt Jane gets to enjoy the fun part of parenting...but doesn't have
to do any of the work!
