Hello Everyone!!! Well, it's Sunday morning and time to write the weekly update. We have had quite a busy week. Yesterday Prancer had obedience again and we're pretty sure he's gonna graduate as valedictorian of the class. He's got it all down pat! And he's still the clown! After school, Gary, my sister and I went to Orlando to pick up Brady (the 9 year old male that just came into rescue) to foster. When we got to Betty's house something strange happened.....we fell in LOVE with Saharah. She came home with us as a foster but we're not so sure she'll stay a foster....if I had to guess I'd say we'll probably keep her. She is BEAUTIFUL!!! All the way home she layed in the backseat with me practically on my lap. When we got home it was love at first sight (for The Man...that is). We introduced the dogs outside in the front yard and immediately they were romping and rolling and playing like they have been best buds for years! It was soooooo cute! Well, Gary and I hadn't had dinner at this point so we took Prancer and Saharah back to Demer's Den. We had an excellent meal and I must say that both dogs were quite a hit! Prancer is so amazing. He just layed on his side and let Saharah chew on his neck and jump all over him while Pepe (the american eskimo) was climbing all over his hind-quarters. All the while his tail was a-waggin' and he had his typical "smile" on his face. As we speak those two are playing tug-o-war with a squeaky toy. They never seem to get tired out! I wish I had 1/2 of their energy! Their colors really look great together. Betty was right. It is nice to have a dark and a light retriever. Boy what a handsome couple they make! Of course, Prancer's effect hasn't worn off on the neighborhood kids yet as EVERYDAY there is at least 1-2 rings of the doorbell with various kids asking to play with Prancer Man. He has such an amazing temperment. I don't think there is an aggressive bone in his whole body. I know some people who should take lessons from him! So, where can we buy stock in a tennis ball company? Is there a tennis ball bandit running around that we don't know about? How exactly do they disappear so often? I swear.....I buy all these cute and EXPENSIVE toys from petsmart (I'm a sucker, what can I say?!) and what do the dogs prefer?!! The old tennis balls that Gary's Dad saves for us. Or, the old worn-out stuffed animals that I've picked up at garage sales for them. Well, I guess I've learned my lesson. That's all for now. We've gotta go do more research on SUV's as now there is NO WAY we can cart around these two mooses in my convertible! We'll keep you posted on Saharah's progress too. She is such a joy!Julie and Gary |
