You may have seen Dave's appeal for an urgent foster home for Captain's kennel mate - Penny.   She arrived in our home today!!  

It didn't take her long to find a comfy place to lie and have a little nap.sleepy.gif
She was quite puzzled when she heard dogs barking on the TV and decided to have a wee look behind to see where the dogs were!!   biggrin.gif

Took her a few attempts to try the stairs, but she soon got the knack.  She looked rather surprised that she could see another dog and another me looking back at her in the wardrobe mirrors!! eyepopping.gif  

It was our turn to be surprised when we saw her in the sitting positiong quite a few times!!  

And of course she discovered the nice big soft human bed that just is so inviting!  wink.gif

So far she has taken to home life very easily and is lapping it up.    aww.gif

Will keep you posted on her progress in her foster home with her foster brother Max, who has made her very welcome.smile.gif

She's a beauty. Captain is a lovely dog too. His calm temperament has shone through and he is getting on just fine with my friend's 10 yrd old son.

Will post some pics tomorrow.

HI Lita and John

Penny's lovely. It sounds like she's taken to life at home like a quacksplash (duck to water!) She couldn't be in a better place. Let us know how she's getting on. Big hugs to her and Max!

She looks like a dainty wee version of Ra.  Do you know if she's Irish or more local Lita?

Penny has been with us for 3 weeks already.  She is now house trained and only had a few accidents.  She likes gathering things around the house so we can't find them, especially our shoes and slippers! shh.gif   She now responds to her name and we've started clicker training.  She is still learning that our food is not her food but does respond to 'no'.evileye.gif    The first week she refused every night to budge off our bed to let us get into it, so had to be lifted off!  Now she knows its out of bounds till daylight, then her and Max descend on our bed so we can't move!! ashamed.gif    She is inquisitive and takes interest in new household items she hasn't seen before and watches things we do.confused.gif   She plays with toys, and Max even lets her take his toys off him without a grumble! Needless to say she is totally enjoying home life. smile.gif    Last but not least, the delightful wee girl  is an absolute cuddle monster with us and with Max.   aww.gif  wink.gif

She is going in for her neuter op this Wednesday, so fingers crossed it goes well.

Her favourite resting position  (which never fails to make us giggle as we've never had a regular roacher before now)

She really looks gorgeous. I especially love the photo of Penny doing a roach, the smile on her face says it all.

Penny sounds like she is coming along just perfectly - Penny the perfect princess.

Good luck for Wednesday Penny.

The 'Whats that' picture is beautiful, she is a stunner.  It was also nice to see her and Max snuggled up together on the sofa.  (Max has a beautiful shine on his coat).   I think you may have a few problems separating these two when Penny finds her forever home!! wink
Keep the pictures coming.

Hi,
Penny's neutering op went well yesterday. 

She was very sorry looking as she went into the vets yesterday morning with tail between the legs and tried to follow us out to leave (making me feel bad - but needs must!).ashamed.gif

She was 'spaced out'   blankstare.gif  in the early evening when we collected her, and didn't even look at us and she just went through the motions (but we knew it was the after effect from the anaesthetic and the trauma of having a bit removed - so we didn't take it as personal!!).  hmm.gif

She's still subdued today but not so much as yesterday.  She is eating well, taking a bit more notice, enjoying cuddles, and thankfully taking it easy.relax.gif

We're looking forward to her being her bouncy self again when she's well on the way in the healing process.  smile.gif

That's great news. It's always a relief when they come back safe and sound. No doubt more cuddles will be required shortly!

So glad Penny's op went well and hope she's getting a bit better every day! She's lovely, Lita and John - a real credit to you, in fact. It's particularly great to see her snuggle up to Max and I'm delighted that she's taking to home comforts like a duck to water! I just love her expression in the last photo. Give pretty Penny and handsome Max big cuddles from all of us!

Christine
