Learning the Ropes
Glen is teaching our foster dog, Lola, how to play with a braided rope.
She is such a pretty girl, can’t believe she hasn’t been snatched up yet.
Lola
Our foster dog, Wayne, didn’t work out here and had to be moved to a different foster home. In his place we got Lola. She is a shephard/lab mix and is about four years old. She is a very sweet girl, except she doesn’t really care for the company of other dogs. She tolerates our two hounds, but everyday there is some growling going on.
Lola loves a good belly rub.
She is such a pretty girl and hopefully someone will see her face and just fall in love.
It didn’t take her long to find “doggie TV”…ie: watching squirrels out the front window.
Our Newest Foster
I was contacted yesterday by The Animal Rescue Alliance, (T.A.R.A), in reference to them desperately needing someone to foster an elderly dog. We have fostered for them a couple of times in the past, and let’s just say, after reading this dogs story I immediately stepped up. This old boy was found tied to a fence by Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City. After trying to get animal control to pick up the dog…which obviously didn’t happen, a T.A.R.A volunteer took him in.
This dog just breaks my heart! He is only about 40 pounds and has a severe ear and eye infection. Thankfully he is heartworm negative! I will probably be picking him up this evening. He doesn’t have a name yet, so stay tuned for updates.
Doggie Adoption Event
Last Saturday I took Lulu to Lenexa, Ks for an adoption event. It was a special one, all the dogs got to go for a swim in the pool
The Lenexa Police Department was there as well demonstrating their canine officer.
Finally, here are the happy hounds swimming.
Foster Failure
Glen and I decided to adopt our foster dog, James. Calling it a failure doesn’t really ring true. He is getting a forever home and we are getting a great dog that already fits very well with our family.
James looks pretty happy about it.
