Sunshine is Adopted

Who wouldn't want to adopt some Sunshine :)

She is spending the week with us and her new mum will pick her up on the weekend. For being three she's still got lots of vim and vigor. She's definitely no couch potato without a good hour of exercise in her. She successfully stayed home today with Beckett uncrated for 5 hours. No accidents, nothing teared apart. A little on the excited side to see us return though.

Happy to see you is fine, but I don't like to come home to excited dogs, it just makes a ritual out of leaving/coming home have much less of a neutral impact. I don't even greet my dogs until I've come in, walked up the stairs, done about two minutes of stuff like put my keys away, etc. Basically they don't even get acknolwedgement until I'm sat down. Keep things nice and sane, plus makes it normal. Leader leaves and nothing should change.

In other minor news, Beckett has randomly decided Jinks is now sexy. He points the very odd dog at daycare, once in a blue moon (which is pretty standard for most dogs). So, now sometimes we have a hump train here. Lemon humps Beckett who humps Jinks who just looks happy someone is paying attention to her. Unless it's Vibo -most of the time Jinks likes Vibo until he just gets annoying.

Like last night Jinks put herself to bed like usual (by about 9pm, 9:30 latest she either puts herself to bed if the bedroom door has been left open, or she starts pawing the door to the bedroom like "let me in!") but Vibo kept coming to bug her, even going so far as to open her crate door (I pretty much just leave it open at for a few hours until we go to bed and then I shut it). So, she did what sleepy, cranky girls do and laid him out a good one. Not to sound like the mean foster mum, but he kind of deserved it. I'm a right mean woman too when you bug me when I'm trying to sleep. Just ask Jerrad!

So then he tried to play with Lemon -quite rudely, he's picked it up from playing with so many big dogs at daycare, after being in Taiwan so long and only have small elderly dogs in his foster home-. And then she laid him out good and then he moped for awhile. Ah, teenage boys. SOMEONE has to put them in their place. It is good he is learning to be a big dog though, with big dog friends and lots of life experiences. He's a nice guy, he's just a teenage boy.

His applicant is a good applicant, just not for a young dog that doesn't have any foundations in anything. I hope they decide to adopt an older dog though, there's lots of mature (3+) dogs that would love to have a family with them.

Onwards to finding Vibo his forever home.
