JackOLantern

Sweet little Jackson (aka Jack O'Lantern) was adopted on Saturday, 11/21 by Connie & Bob and their daughter, Fiona (19). Jackson went through quite a transformation in the 4 1/2 weeks that he was with me. Going from a sheltered, indoor, slightly overweight, out of shape guy, to living like a real dog: going on walks, being outside in a yard, exploring new sights and smells, playing with squeaky toys, and meeting new people (who he happily greeted! Every single one.) And he lost a pound! He really is a special little dog. So sweet and friendly and easy-going. (Even the vet that did his dental wanted him!) I am so happy for Jackson and for his new forever family. They only live a couple of towns away from me, so I know I will see him again. Congratulations JackOLantern!!!

Prince of Lancaster

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Prince of Lancaster has chosen his forever family and henceforth shall be known as Prince. We couldn't have asked for a better meet and greet day than November 14. It was a crisp and sunny day that made being outdoors a pleasure. Mike, Liliane and Noah arrived promptly at 10 AM to meet Prince. They had driven to the Fairfax area from Pennsylvania the night before. As with almost anyone, Prince walked up to them to get pats and scratches but that wasn't good enough, he knew these folks were friends forever and rolled over on the cold cement driveway to get a tummy rub. We followed the meeting with a walk around the neighborhood with Mike, Noah and Prince taking the lead. Prince did great. There were a couple of looks over his shoulder at Liliane and I who were chatting and strolling more leisurely but Prince easily accepted Mike and Noah to walk him. Then we went back to the house where Liliane got out some treats and Noah offered them to Prince. Of course Prince got excited about that and jumped into to Noah's lap! Prince, Mike and Noah spent some time in our fenced backyard so they could observe Prince off leash. Liliane and I started going over the items in Prince's SAYR Tote, the notes compiled about Prince and the adoption agreement. Mike joined us and we took care of paperwork. Then it was time to gather everything together and watch Prince stroll down the driveway with Mike, Liliane and Noah. We waived goodbye and could hear Prince barking from the crate. Seems that he kept barking so Liliane held him in her lap for the several hour trip back to Pennsylvania. I think everyone would agree holding a 16 pound wiggly dog for several hours is the trait of a very good doggie Mom! From all reports, Prince has settled in nicely, met the neighbors and neighborhood dogs and had a wonderful 30 minute walk on new terrain full of new scents to explore and dream about. It's foreseen there will be many happy years ahead. Congratulations to Mike, Liliane and Noah and Prince!!!

Charlie Brown

This is Foster Mom and Charlie Brown! Our official adoption picture! We made it official this weekend by buying him his own personal name tag...nothing generic for our newest fur baby! He is such a sweet boy and learning how to be a real dog every day by his brother Gizmo...how to beg, barking, greet dad with tail wags at the door. He is getting closer to learning to play...he now will sniff at toys! We’re excited to add him officially to our home! Congratulations Charlie Brown!!!
