ROLLIE - family update

We have had Rollie for only 2 weeks but it seems like much longer and we can’t imagine life without him. He is an adorable puppy and everyone tells him so. He has lived up to his name as he rolls around the family room and even did a summersault last night! […]

GENA

I have been procrastinating. It is now time to begin the search for a new home for Gena. Following is the write up that will appear in PetFinder and on the Foster Care board at the Saskatoon SPCA.

Want a dog? Do not have time or energy to train a puppy? Could […]

News from a new family

Marly asked if I would be interested in contributing to her blog on the goings-on in our household since we adopted one of the most recent puppies that she’s fostered. So I’m going to give it a shot.
It’s been about six days since Jasper joined the household! Well, he’s only been “Jasper” for […]

Day 70 - Tuesday, July 25

Eleven weeks ago Gena came to live with us, 10 weeks ago she had her puppies. Tomorrow, the last of the puppies will go to their forever homes. It has been a life-time, it has been no time at all.
Gena, MM and I have spent most of the day with Sable and Panda. […]

Day 67 - Saturday, July 22

Be it the wine, the puppy cuddles, the words of support, a good night’s sleep or all of the above, I am re-energized. Oh, there were some tears on Friday when little Corey went to his new home (and again when I put away the collar he had worn to differentiate him from Toby), […]

Day 65 - Thursday, July 20

Feeling maudlin, I am. What a friend calls having a PLOM day (poor little old me). But am also relieved, happy, content and looking forward to getting my life back and having regular hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Wednesday morning the puppies outdid all other litters I have fostered. In the enclosure in the […]

Day 63 - Tuesday, July 18

It has been a few days!
Monday started bright and early. Puppies yowl, I put them out, feed them, start to clean the enclosure — what’s this? a collar. Uh oh! Corey has worn a collar since the puppies were first vaccinated back on June 26 to ensure that I […]

Day 61 - Sunday, July 16

Doggie Styles Dog Grooming held a BBQ for the Saskatoon SPCA on Sunday. They encouraged us to bring adoptable animals so that the animals could get exposure away from the Shelter. The stars of the show were Romeo and Juliet who received a complementary grooming from Doggie Styles — and much praise for […]

Day 59 - Friday, July 14

And sweet, innocent, little Corey

will be going to live with big, beautiful Hunter — a match sure to produce an active lifestyle for all concerned, and many hours of cuddles, love and laughter. Corey is a very lucky little puppy to be going to such a good home and to have a built-in big […]

Day 58 - Thursday, July 13

Today the little guys and Gena received the second half of their vaccination and deworming. Again everyone took it well (Gena in some angelfood cake!). They all appear healthy and are certainly active and energetic.
This evening a wonderful surprise: another of my foster puppies came for a short visit. Meet the […]
