Emmett Goes Home, and Luma Settles In

It's kind of funny how things work out sometimes. After Emmett's first homecheck not panning out, I cuddled one snuggly Emmett and thought 'I'm kind of glad you're staying'. There is something about the pups and wanting to keep them close. I'm so fortunate, the three young pups I've fostered have all stuck nearby. Suhki is here as I type, a very nice grown up gentlemen, and Barley and Buckwheat (IE: Mika and Skye) come to daycare. If they would all stay close, that would be lovely, but they have to go where they have the best home. With the pups, I have to tendency to be a little bit more protective!

So, I talk to Meshum briefly online and she says: "Hey, a good friend and client of mine -someone I've met actually- is looking for a pup. Their old dog passed away a few months ago and they think they're ready."

"Okay," I say, "What kind of dog are they looking for?"

"Pyrenese mix."

"Uh Meshum, you checked my adoptables in the last two days?"

"No, no internet."

"That's exactly what I have."

Send her to the picture.

Meshum: "When can we show him?"

So, because we're all in the same circle of friends, and I met his old dog, I sent Emmett on a new adventure with Meshum to meet his potential new home. Suffice to say, he never returned and is now officially adopted :)

They're lucky they snagged him fast. Somebody wanted to make a service dog out of him which is a great testament to his temperment. He truly is a great dog, despite the puppy crazies from time to time. And his new home has big dog experience, which will go a long ways to turning him into the great BIG adult dog he will become.

Oh, and with a new home, a new name. Emmett is now "Gary".


Luma continues to settle in really well. True to her northern breed heritage, she has a bit of a mouth on her! Just like Beckett she is a perfectly quiet dog until she starts playing, and then you can't get her to shut up. Ah, life with a northern breed. She's a very nice girl though, doing well on her leash though can get excited by dogs coming along the path. Everything is so new to her. Basically, she's a total blank slate, just in a bigger package. Total puppy brain, but much more focus. She has a really nice application, but as always, I never count my chickens. More pictures later :) For now, going to go enjoy my last night with Suhki and Veda before they head home tomorrow evening.
