    Meet Belle!

    I got a new dog yesterday! Belle was in her foster home for a year and a half. She's had a bit of a rough time of it, mostly because she doesn't play nice with children and small animals, like ducklings and squirrels. But so far so good with Sammy! And she sat on my lap yesterday, something she had never done with her foster mother.

    She's four, so I'm hopeful she will have the energy to play with Sammy. There have been a few noisy incidents, bordering on fighting, but this morning in the bedroom before I got up they were playing. That was nice.

    Divingbiker - she's beeeutiful! I hope Belle continues to settle down in her "forever home".

    I can just imagine her ears flapping while she's chasing after a stick. Something about spaniels and fall days....

    our two girls

    Roux is a 16 years old Coton and is still a puppy at times and other times, she can only walk a block. She is the puppy love of my life.

    Winnie just joined our family from a senior rescue shelter. She is about 8 and is a wirehaired dachshund mix and is pure joy. Every morning, she goes in the tv room and chases the reflection of her new dog tag. At night, she lives to jump under the covers. Not much is known about Winnie, she was found tied to the fence of the rescue shelter in July. She is well trained and has been loved, that is apparent.

    It is wonderful to meet your four legged family!

    Oh so many cute doggies to look at this morning.
    Thanks for sharing.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    Here's Calypso in her evening activity - watching the hundreds of crows coming in to roost on the roof of the hotel and adjacent office building. We're on the top floor of a 4 story building so the crows sweep right by to the tree tops out our window and off the roofs. Watching the crows come in every evening, I can see where Hitchcock got his inspiration for The Birds.

    Here is "my" dog. He's our family dog. Lives with my parents and had an accident recently where he screwed up his back. He's okay now and recovering, but Dover is a bit of a nut. He's a rescue that was used in a puppy mill for breeding. He came to us from Alabama where he was being fostered. He's adorable, basically.



    keep showing the cute pictures! I don't need a dog, but boy do I want one!

    I know what you mean!

    I've heard Cesar Milan say "you don't always get the dog you want, but you get a dog that you need".

    Beautiful! And at the perfect age too. Rescues always have the most interesting baggage. If only they could talk...

    Marni, congratulations on your new furkid and thanks for adopting a rescue as well.
