Professor Fitwick

 

 

Hello,

As promised we would like to share a photo of "Professor Flitwick" who we

adopted from you two weeks ago.

We have re-named him "Steve". You can see from the attached photo

that he has adapted very well and is a terrific friend for our three year old

Schnoodle, "Molly".

He has a lovely personality and is very affectionate.

We are all enjoying him very much.

Thank you.

OK it has been less than an hour since he came in and he has nosed the dogs
and cats and picked a spot to lounge on the couch. I think he will fit in
here just fine!

Peyto (Glenn)

Hi there:


Just wanted to give you an update on Peyto (adopted as "Glenn" - Feb 1/12).

It's been nice to have Peyto in the house. He adapted well to his new surroundings and seems to love the fact he has free space throughout the house. He is quite a cuddler! I refer to him as my own personal heating pad! He is still quite nervous when people other than myself or husband come into the house but eventually starts to peek out to check things out. He doesn't like our daughter's dog (shitzu) being in the house whatsoever. I don't know if he had any history with other animals in his background. Perhaps more exposure will help that, we will introduce that gradually.

It is wonderful having his company.

I've attached some photos of him.

Hi Penny,

Mia, as we have decided to call her, is settling in nicely. She has really taken to my son and spends her nights sleeping with him. She stays in his room when he goes to school even though the door is open. She loves anyone that stops in to pat her. She sat on my lap for about an hour the other night, while I sat at my desk. She has been eating and drinking since she got home. She has growled at our other cat but less so every time they see each other. She has explored a bit but sticks to her safe room most of the time. So far so good, she good company, very quite but loud purrs.

Thanks

Emily

Hi,

sorry it has taken so long to write!  We were able to adopt Georgia (since renamed Emily) in October...  We had just lost a dog to cancer and wanted to fill that hole and give a rescue dog a new home.  

Emily is the absolute sweetest dog and has settled in so well.   She has bonded extremely well with our 2 other males and our 3 girls love her to bits.   (Mom and Dad do as well!)

Attached is a picture I took back in November after coming home to find that she had chewed up a fourth pair of my shoes.....   You can see she knows what she did, ears flattened right back against her head!  How can anyone resist that face?    Luckily the chewing and the accidents have ceased as she has become comfortable in her new home and she is nowhere near as apprehensive as she once was.    Not sure about her past as she was so scared and submissive when we got her but over time has become very happy and confident and loves life.

We are so lucky to have her in our lives, she makes me smile every day.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!!!!

Rocky

Dear Jodi,

We are really enjoying our time with Rocky!  He has adjusted tremendously well and is very happy in our new home.  He has a lovely temperament... very calm and gets along with well with other people and animals.  We have taken him for grooming twice now and he looks fantastic... we have attached some pictures for you to see how handsome he looks!

As times passes, we are getting to know him better and really appreciate his prior training... he was already housetrained and doesn't jump on people or furniture.  He also responds well to our commands.  Our next task is to help
him learn how to climb the

Nero

Sorry guys my life has been all work or dogs. Between that and moving it's taken all my time and energy. But I wanted to send you guys an update on Nero.



This is him using the bend of my knee as a pillow
Sometimes on the couch he'll wrap his front legs around my
waist and put his head into me

He's really a great kid. He is a lot more damaged than you guys thought. And he has a lot of restraint when it comes to his aggression. I still can't put my hands all over him, but we'll get there. He's calmed down a lot. But at least three times a day he'll jump when I drop something or enter the room fast. If I'm holding an object and walk up to him he'll cower and run away. He's been through some sever abuse. When I cross his comfort line he'll lung but won't bite. He doesn't want to bite. He's just so used to getting beaten that he feels the need to protect himself. I can tell you that he's always trying to please you and couldn't have done anything close to deserve such harsh
