Mom got a phone call one day and a sweet cairn needed to stop over at our bed and breakfast overnight until the next leg of her journey was ready. Her name was Sammie and such a sweet girl she was. She was on her way to back to her foster mom's. She had gone to her forever home and for some reason they couldn't keep her. So she had flown part way back and was going the rest of the way to her foster mom by car. It was a joy to have her visit.
Our next foster was Amy. She was an owner release. The couple tried to find a place that would allow them to have their beloved westie girl...but they didn't have any luck. So Amy came into rescue. She was a very sweet girl who was very unhappy with the change. But she gradually settled down and has a wonderful home in Missouri with a single lady. Amy gets to go to work with her new Mom at an assisted living home. She really enjoys her work.
Our next foster was Danika. She was a two year old breeder released. She was all puppy. She enjoyed exploring and running and playing. She loved to sneak the keys out of our Dad's pockets. Her favorite pasttime was wrestling with Smoke. She showed the pups how to take shortcuts when playing zoom around the rooms. She is full of life and enjoying her new forever home. Her Mom has recently enrolled her in puppy classes and she is having fun. Her Mom is going to train her in aglity and that will be right up Dani's alley.
Our last foster...so far...was a sweet retired breeder named Jenny. She was so mild. She wasn't sure what love was and by the time she found her new forever home she understood that people have lots of love to give. She took some work to help her understand and trust that she was going to have a much better life. She is enjoying herself in Illinois. She is going to be an awesome companion.
Life is always happening around here. We had our 3 year old granddaughter for a couple of weeks and that was so much fun. Smoke loved her to pieces. He was always following her where ever she went. He loved helping her play with the race cars
. It's hard to believe that Smoke is now 7 months old. He enjoys being a little terrier to all of his westie siblings. He just wants to play, play, and PLAY. The rest of the gang are all doing wonderfully. Petey and Princess want to rest and lay around...the true couch potatoes. Sassy, DJay, and Smoke are the ones who love to zoom and carry on. There is never a dull moment around here and I wouldn't have it any other way.The breeder that I was working with to get westie and scotties from is now out of the business. I got what I could from him and he sold the rest. The new owner does have my name so I'm hoping to still be able to get the retirees and get them into new forever homes. I still have one scottie breeder that I get her retirees from. They come with health issues and ungroomed. So I am hoping to be able to help more and more retirees from her.
Our family is doing well. The husband was released from his doctor after 10 weeks of recovering from surgery. And now he is training at a new job. Angela continues to be seizure free. It's hard to believe that she has lived with us for almost 10 years and that she turns 16 years old in October. She is in a different school and has accepted the change well. She is enjoying going on all the field trips that they do. She has a new para, also and that she loves...she can try all her tricks that everyone else knows about. Angela is so smart...it's o sad that she can't express it. So things are looking better around here. Life is to be enjoyed and that I am doing. Life is also helping others and I'm hoping I am doing that by being a volunteer rescuer for westies, scotties, cairns, and any other canine that crosses my life path.
Always remember...second hand dogs RULE!!!!!!!!
