Well it’s all set! We take Kaylee to our vet on Saturday for her first set of shots. We’re only going with the basics since she’s still underweight and her immune system probably isn’t all that strong yet.
She sure is looking good though!
I’ve spent about 20-30 minutes a day brushing her and getting all of [...]

From the moment I first take out the mixing bowls, this girl is glued to my side. Right up to the very end, when she appoints herself…

Sometimes Toby gets this contemplative look on his face …
He really makes me wonder what he’s thinking …
Other times, he leaves no doubt what he’s thinking…
:D

A dog is an instinctively aggressive creature. In the wild, aggression came in very handy; dogs needed aggression to hunt, to defend themselves, and to defend their resources such as food, a place to sleep, a mate.
Selective breeding over the centuries has significantly minimized and refined this trait but there’s no getting around the fact [...]

Our new girl is doing very well! She is just so sweet and wonderful, very cuddly when she gets close to you and has such a grace and gentleness about her in everything she does. She does have a few “issues”, but we’re working on those and really looking forward to watching her blossom.
What issues? [...]

WE GOT HER!
Kelly the Collie is officially ours ♥
First things first: We’ve decided to change her name. She does respond to Kelly so we’re keeping it close (this poor girl has gone through enough changes in the past few weeks), but just in case that is the name she was given by her original owner [...]

I got a call this morning from Kelly’s foster mom (very nice lady!) at Arbed Rescue. After reading my application, she would like to meet with me! I guess it’s down to two families at this point; the other family is going to see Kelly on Sunday, so we’ll see her on Saturday.

We love our dogs, no question about it, but as dog owners we’ve had to deal with our share of embarrassing situations because our furry friends just wouldn’t listen to us when we really needed them to listen the most.
Seriously, what could be better than snapping on your dog’s leash and heading out to enjoy [...]

Well, I did it. I inquired about “Kelly” and she’s still available for adoption. Her foster mom at Arbed Rescue sent me an application so I’ll fill that out and see where it takes me.
It’s funny because my mother will send me random dog and puppy ads from Kijiji. Not necessarily because she thinks I’ll [...]
