Cute New Recruit

It was nice to have a long-weekend. I spent Saturday and Sunday in Vancouver catching up with my parents and being stuffed with good food. I'm sure they pack a week's worth into me in two days. Today Jerrad and I took the very to Vancouver to retriever two new foster dogs from Ocean Dog Rescue -now renamed C.E.R.A. Dog Society. We transported Leila and Stephanie.

Originally Stephanie was going to foster with us, and Leila was going to foster with my co-worker Crystal who grooms at K9HQ, but as plans often do, they got shuffled around. Crystal's partner had a hockey accident and broke his jaw, so she'll have to take him in and out of the hospital a few hours every day the next few weeks. She didn't feel it was fair to have a young puppy at home for that long. So, we switched fosters. Leila is now home with us.

She is a cuddle-butt, really likes children, likes to give kisses. She's pretty darn mellow for a young dog. She's a bull-terrier mix, but is quite a bit smaller than your average miniature bull terrier. She is about 15-18 pounds at 7 months, so about 25 full grown. She's only a little bit taller than Lemon! She's also a whole lot sturdier.

Here are some pictures of Leila from the first night at the foster front:

Lazy puppy!

 Oh, and I don't photograph Lemon enough, or none of the pictures ever turn out. In Vancouver I scooped some sweet water-proof dog beds, and with a blanket on top Lemon is pretty happy to have a bed that Jinks doesn't bother her on. I'm just happy. Water-proof beds mean even if a dog decides to pee on them, it's not a task to get everything in the wash, and through the dryer without blowing up.

We're actually a week and a bit away from our 2nd anniversary of fostering. Times flies!
