The nice thing about rescue dogs is that you don't usually know an exact birthday, so it can be shuffled around. Jinks' first year birthday is somewhere in the second week of May. We were planning to celebrate it today, but she decided to be an absolute idiot this morning, running into each and every crate here -including ones she shouldn't possibly be able to fit into- and guarding them from any other dog that passed. It wasn't even food time yet, and if she's bratty enough to try guarding from Beckett she must have woken up on the wrong side of her faulty genetic pool. So, Jinks gets no birthday goodness today. We will try again tomorrow. No birthday (presents) for brats!!
In other news, busy but nice household as Suhki and Veda are hanging out with us for a few weeks. They are awesome house guests. Mr. Suhki of "admire me from afar" and Veda who is clingy but not needy. You usually end up looking up going "where's Veda" and somehow she's right beside you. Right sneaky she is. For curious minds, Suhki was a foster puppy a long time ago now, he came before Lemon. Suhki and Veda are both TG dogs.
On the adoption front, Floof had a meet + greet with his shop manager and it seemed to go well, though she is pursuing other dogs as well. So I'm not quite sure what is happening with him. He apparently has another application too. I have my fingers crossed he gets his home really soon. He's getting really attached. Of course you don't want to speed them into an inappropriate home or anything like that, but it honestly is easier on them the faster they go.
Cinderella has a few applications, and is having a homecheck in Vancouver on Monday. They're a younger couple, but they're able to bring her to work with them, which would be very beneficial for her continued socialization. She has gotten to the point where she can easily ignore people, but doesn't really enjoy attention from strangers. There's an app here in Victoria that I like too, but out of the four apps, the one in Vancouver is the most suited so we'll screen them first.
I'll try to get the camera out soon for some pictures. It's been quite busy since I'm training new people at work and that always takes a ton of energy out of me.
More soon,
Emily
