Handsome Ollie

Our boy Ollie had a nice walk with volunteers in the park today. It's always nice when the sun actually shines on a Sunday. It sure shows off Ollie's gorgeous coat and lovely smile!

Sunshine (aka Bija) Finally Finds Peace




This sweet girl can finally rest her head down without any of the anxiety she seemed to feel so often in kennel #1. Indeed, things seem to be working out with Bodi (aka Zon, BACS alum) and Apryl, Bija's new mom. They go running at the Albany Bulb every morning, where Bija is picking up recall very quickly. Her easygoing personality is turning out to be just the right complement to Bodi's slightly more rambunctious nature.

The Other Sister, Ellie


Report from Ellie's new mom:
Ellie is doing great!! It took her a while to settle in and adjust but she is happy as a clam and loving her new life!! She go on walks with Dale up in the hills a lot and our grandchildren are here quite often (especially now that Ellie is here). She really enjoys the children and they adore her!

Dale is the one who surprises me. He is usually fond of our dogs but more distant with them than I am. But he loves Ellie and has so much patience with her puppy ways (the vet said she is between 12 and 18 months). The first month or so we got a lot of chewing and some digging and tearing up plants, etc. Dale replaced parts of the watering system 3 times but she has settled down more now.

I am including some pics so you can see what a gorgeous, happy dog she is! Thank you for all you do for these special animals!!

Dog-O-Roll

In between doggie play today, Hendrix and Daphne tooks turns rolling around the run. Very cute!





Tasha & Timothy




These two met up for the first time in the dog run today. They had some doggie fun but it wasn't a madcap affair. Tasha was keen to play but Timothy was a little less enthused. They did some back and forth and then sniffed around the dog run for a while. Generally, a good time was had by all.

Daphne & Hendrix: Dashing Duo

As the pictures reveal, Hendrix & Daphne had a fabulous time on their first date! They ran, they wrestled, they played tug-of-war and gave each other doggies kisses. A second date is definitely in order!
