Miracle (Cricket)

miracle-leavesmiracle-boneCricket (formerly known as Miracle) is doing great! She seems to be house trained already, though she doesn’t like to go outside unless she has someone to go with her. She has been playing with rag bones, booda bones with treats stuffed inside, and catnip toys- which seem to be her favorite! She also has been playing with “Corky”, a stuffed dog my husband Brandon gave me when Corky was put to sleep after our first attempt at adoption. Today she will get her first pig ear to keep her busy because I am going to bring her to work with me. My office mates are really excited!
Cricket loves our cats! It is fun to see her muzzle our three-legged cat Mau. Mau splays herself out on the floor in the hopes of attention, and then gets more than she bargained for. Cricket has already pushed her luck with sleeping on the furniture, and so far she’s won us over on everything but the bed, though she still sneaks up there sometimes. We’ve taken her for many walks already and people just LOVE her. And she loves them. Someone told us she had a nice shape yesterday. We brought her to vote and by the time we left everyone knew her name and yelled goodbye to her.
We’ve only left her alone a few times in the crate and she’ll willingly go in, but when we come back she just melts on the floor and cries for about 15 minutes. We’re trying to assure her we’ll always come back for her!
Here she is helping Brandon rake leaves and playing with a new bone.
Thanks so much to you and everyone who helped with her! I can’t believe what a good girl she is after all that she’s been through!

 

Rufus (William Womack)

williamwomackWords cannot express our gratitude for saving Rufus now known as William Womack of Windsor Forest.  He fits our family as though he’s always been here. He was’t feeling well last night and Chloe (our other golden)  supported him and snuggled.  When I got home today he was back to his old self.

Kaylah

KaylahJoy: We adopted one of your dogs in March of 2007 when you brought them up from Georgia. Kaylah has been an absolute wonderful dog. We would definetly do it all over again. Kaylah enjoys her time with our other 2 year old dog, Lucy, who is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Cookie (Squirt)

cookietailsHi Joy!
We are happy to report that all is well with “Little Squirt”. We changed her name from “Cookie” because next to Max, her big brother, she looks like such a Squirt…I am sending a picture of her with Max along to you…hope you enjoy it!

Amber

amberHi! Amber is doing really well.She is the apple of my eye.I cant believe she is practically housebroken already.She had 1 small puddle by the door last night,when it was so cold out.As long as I keep a sweater on her she’s been real good.She loves watching the birdfeeder out the front window and has all kinds of toys to play with.I made her some polar fleece sweaters to wear. Amber loves to go on walks w/Ben(I bought her a tiny harness).They get along so well,he lays on the floor & she jumps all over him,once in awhile he’ll give her a little nudge w/his nose & make alot of noises @ her.I have to send them both outside to do all that running.I find it so hard to believe anyone would get rid of such a sweetie.She does hate the vacuum,she growls & attacks it.Even the cat gets along w/her.(and it took me years for Ben & the cat to ignore each other)Just wanted to thank you again,although I just cant thank you enough for Amber,I love her to death.Here are a few pictures.Take care,we’ll keep in touch,Kathy,Amber,& Ben
