September / October 2022

Hi Everyone, Once again we have had a mellow couple of months. The season is changing and we already have a few dogs in sweaters. For me, it's been a tough month. I sprained my ankle almost 6 weeks ago. I was literally on the couch for about 2 weeks. It's doing much better now but I have to be careful not to re-injure it. It's a slow process but I'm on the mend. This is what's new with the dogs....

Lilly, our new dog

Lilly is a miniature Schnauzer. The photo at the top was taken the day we got her. The below picture was taken a week later after she got groomed. She is 13 years old. Her owner had to go into a nursing home because she had been suffering from dementia for at least 4 years. What effect this has had on this little dog I don't know. Lilly is very timid and acts confused sometimes when she is outside . She is most secure in my bedroom. Lilly has been here since Aug. 31st. The more time I spend with her I see she is slowly coming around. She is not quite as freaked out now when I pet her. She had a big break through the other day. She was running up the ramp coming in and zooming back and forth in the hallway and into the bedroom. I'm hoping she will come out of her shell more and more as time goes on.

Look at Bella! Her eyebrows are getting gray! Such a sweet girl.

Rosie photo bombing the picture...lol

The fur on Gus is so weird. It's like terrier fur on his head but on his body it's more like a Pomeranian - very fine and fuzzy. He will not let me cut it. He actually gets kind of vicious so I just trim it here and there as I can. It is looking better than when he first arrived.

Cali, the biggest dog here in the smallest bed.

Luke had to get in on the picture. He's such a ham.
