Riley (adopted Dec. 27, 2013)

Riley

Hi! Just wanted to give you a update like I promised about Riley. He is doing excellent! He's such a quiet old fella! But when he's in the mood he runs like a crazy man all around our back yard in and out of the bushes. He likes to play with the odd toad he finds lately in the backyard and has sadly killed a young squirrel too. He loves, loves his pillow but when he isn't in the mood to sleep he will follow me around the house and sit next to me when I am at the computer. We have been complimented on his good looks and his great behavior. Even my parents who dislike animals love him! So here's a recent picture of him looking all regal in our family room, on his beloved pillow. The only place he will sleep! He has made our home so full of love and happiness. Thank you!

Bonzo (formerly Hunter) - adopted February 27, 2014

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to update you on how Bonzo (formerly Hunter) is doing. He has fit in great...he comes to work with me and my crew pretty much everyday. You should see the looks we get with him hanging halfway out the back window the truck! 

We are taking lessons at Scratch and Sniff Dog Training here in Guelph and he's doing great, though it's pretty obvious the lessons are for me, not him. 

He has a great time out at the leash free park where after about a month I was comfortable enough to let him run on his own. We still need to work on the recall skills but it's only because he's having such a good time he loses track of where I am some times. 

Anyways thanks for hooking us up. He's been a great addition to my life!
Thanks and see you soon, 

Mike Post 

Addy (formerly Kleo) and Possum

Possum and Addy

Hello everyone at the UCHS!

Just thought I'd update you on how well Awesome Possum (the kitty) and Addy (formerly Kleo) are doing!

Possum was adopted just over a year and a half ago, and Addy almost one year ago. They immediately became the best of friends when Addy arrived ... I think Possum likes her better than our other cat. The two of them snuggle gently and wrestle playfully all the time. While Possum started out very independent, she became quite cuddly over the winter months, and Addy ... well, Addy isn't happy unless she is curled up right next to you. I've never met such a cuddly dog! It's the best part of her. 

The two of them are welcoming a baby brother - of the human variety - this summer and we have no doubt that they will both be great with him! Though Possum seems to think the crib is hers, so we'll see what happens there. 

Please feel free to share the pic and their update story! Thanks for hooking us up with such great critters...they bring both chaos and calm into our otherwise boring home.

Cheers, 

Kellyn
