Your babies are so cute. I'm so glad you didn't wait, because those two little guys really needed you. Congratulations.

Awwwwww, you're two fur-covered kids are too cute. My hat's off to you for fostering them. What's next for these cuties? Can you find the owners? Adoption?

You deserve many miles of happy trails and tailwinds for doing this.

already adopted them, Trek! They're great with each other -- they wrestle with each other, fight over cool toys and fall asleep curled up together. The older, 4-month old was probably abused -- flinched when I put my hand out to pet him, scared of going outside -- but he's warmed up quite a bit in just a couple of days. The little one's insane. Tiny ball of squirming energy, a mini tasmanian devil.
As for what's next, hopefully housetraining. Quick.

Oh I am SOOOOOOOOO jealous! I wanted to get a pup or grown dog soon after we lost Reba, but DH couldn't handle it. In my family, we always got a new dog pretty soon - not to replace, but to have the spark of new life in the house to help heal. Give them some kisses and squeezles for me. Names???

May you have many happy years and miles together.

**On_yer_left!** · 10-28-2005, 12:58 PM

thanks lateX2. The names? Mocha and Java. Well, javabean. Or bean for short. Or beanie. Or little s*** when she pees in my shoes

There's a Norwegian expression that translated means, "a well-loved child has many names".

Now those pictures really make you SMILE

Congratulations on the new additions. Only you know when you are ready to open your heart to a new addition and I'm glad you listened to your heart! There is nothing like a cat or dog to share your life and home with, they love you no matter what. I share my home with six cats, three dogs, a guinea pig, a chinchilla and a rabbit and I simply can't image not having them in my life. May you have many, many years of pure joy with your new additions!

Oh, good for you, there are many karma credits in rescuing beings! I'm missing my girl who died a couple of weeks ago--so is her companion--and there is a shelter right along my bike route, pulling me in...

**On_yer_left!** · 10-28-2005, 02:06 PM

I'm sorry for your loss, wabisabi -- it was one of the most heartbreaking things to do, making the decision to let go. But I hope you let that shelter pull you in! Your dog needs another companion -- or a youngster to boss around!

**wabisabi** · 10-28-2005, 03:10 PM

Thanks, left, I think it will happen soon!

**bcipam** · 10-28-2005, 04:04 PM

VERY CUTE! The first photo of the little brown guy made me giggle!

**doctorfrau** · 10-28-2005, 06:16 PM

How could anyone resist those eyes in the last pic?

**Bustertb** · 10-28-2005, 07:30 PM

OMGoodness! They are adorable!! Cute names

**Trek420** · 10-28-2005, 07:58 PM

On_yer_left! sez "The older, 4-month old was probably abused -- flinched when I put my hand out to pet him, scared of going outside -- but he's warmed up quite a bit in just a couple of days"

with your care he'll turn out to be a great dog, learn to trust people again.

"The little one's insane. Tiny ball of squirming energy, a mini tasmanian devil."

Older one looks like a German Shepard, mini-Taz is ??????? cute though. Pound-pets are best. What's their story? How'd you manage to adopt them? the boyfriend of a gal I was on the AIDS ride with last year went down to LA with a Shelter and ended up rescuing who knows how many.

Thank God for sweet animals and bicycles.

I'm sure the house is full of Niki's love and is helping your new little ones become wonderful companions. I adopted my Ebby from the shelter three years after losing my 14-year Apollo, and within two days she found one of his bones that had become pushed way under a radiator. She pulled it out and happily started chewing on it. It was as if old Apollo was there smiling and welcoming her!

Wishing you lots of love and joy with your two adorable pups!
