Maui
Sorry it has taken so long for me to get you some pictures of Maui, but here are a couple I’ve taken with my phone! Hope you enjoy them. She’s doing great! I absolutely love her and can’t even remember life without her in it! She’s an amazing companion. Thank you so much for your help in bringing us together. Jessica ...
Hanna
Hi there, Hanna is doing great – she has also taken to the indoor life quite well, and is very fond of her stuffed toys, has frequent ‘puppy quakes’ as we call them, where she tears around the house with her toys playing like a puppy. She has been walking with me about 4 times a week 1-2 miles, took a while to get adjusted to the walking thing as she was terrified of the lawn mowers and any odd noises, but she is doing so much better, having Jo work with us with the pinch collar really helped, she is on a regular collar now. She loves playing with other dogs, we spend a lot of time with Scott’s sister who has an 8 year old lab, and they get along great. She is still working on the house training…again, doing better, but still a few accidents. She is a sweet girl, loves the kids, and is still obsessed with the cat (see pictures I attached…really quite funny), who has decided that Hanna is ok, and the cat chases the dog around the house. We are so happy to have her in the family. So glad her puppy is doing well – hard to believe she had puppies as she seems so young herself! Thanks for checking on her. Jennifer Brown ...
Molly
I wanted to check in and let you know that Molly is doing good. She had no problem getting used to her new home and her new big brother, Kuma. They play with each other and Kuma is very tolerant of her climbing on him and taking toys from him. He sometimes gets irritated with the little sister, but is very gentle and just walks away when he is tired of her licking his face. They will nap together and play for hours on end. She loves to lay on him. One night when we were getting ready for bed, she took her favorite stuffed toy and went and laid down in Kuma’s bed. It was like, ‘ok, I am ready for bed and I will sleep with Kuma tonight.’ It was very cute…. Molly is learning how to sit, stay and lay down. She is also learning how to walk on the leash. She loves treats, especially carrots and ice. She has met most of the family, but will be meeting some of the nieces and nephews this week. We are trying to get her socialized by getting her around more people and kids. She is nervous at first, but she starts to warm up once she gets used to them. She is very cute and is a great match for Kuma. I noticed that Megan wasn’t on the Web site anymore, I hope that means she has a new home as well. Thank you for all of your help, and we are happy to have Molly as a new member of our family. I have attached a few pictures for you. Thank you! Beth...
Kacey (a.k.a. Cotton)
Hi Everybody, I just wanted to update you on my new home, I love it. My new family re-named me Kacey, and have taken very good care of me. Since I left you, I have learned that treats are really good. If you sit long enough, someone will always give you one. There are toys at my new home, a stuffed chicken and purple ball are my favorites. I get to chew on bones and rawhide, I just love that. My mom takes me running in the mornings, and I just can’t wait. That walk and getting to wake-up Cassidy, who is 9, are my favorite parts of the morning. There is even a couch that is just mine, how cool is that. I get to snuggle right up to Mom and Dad, and no one shoes me off. Guess what, I just graduated from Intermediate Training Class!!! Mom and the trainer say that I have made such progress. I still get real scared though, just not quite like when I first came here. Dad and I are getting to know each other, he still scares me some. Mom says that he is ok, but I just don’t know. He does give the best treats . . . I think I will give him another try. Oh yeah, I also have a new dog friend named Boomer. We run, jump and play until we are all pooped out. I have learned so much in the 3 months since they brought me home. I go potty in the backyard, not in the house. I know the words, crate, sit, down, wait, stay and settle (learned all that in class). I have learned how to go up and down stairs, and in and out doors. I learned that inside was much better than out, too hot these days. I have learned that I can eat and know one will take it from me. And the best thing is the bowl is filled everyday without fail J My “T” faded and my coat is starting to become full. Thank you so much for rescuing me and finding me such a great home. Mom says I still have some things to work on, I am going to try real hard to stay around here. I really like it....
Did You Know?
According to the Cornell Feline Health Center, the conventional formula for converting a cat’s age to “people years” is not accurate. Contrary to popular wisdom, a year in the life of a feline is not the same as seven years for their human caretaker. Instead, a one-year-old cat is equivalent to a 16-year-old human adolescent. A two-year-old cat is equivalent to a 21-year-old person. After that, each cat year is equivalent to four human years. Therefore, a 5-year-old cat would be 33 years old in people years. A 10-year-old cat would be 53, and a 15-year-old kitty would be 73 in human...
