Goodbye Farley!

This boy went home today! He was very happy to go home to his family. We drove him back to his house and while we were still 1/2 mile away, he got all squiggly and started barking. He knew he was going home :)

Look how handsome he looks all cleaned up, too!

Lucky Dog offers bathing and other grooming services that benefit CTSPCA! One bath here at Lucky Dog will provide two vaccinations or one week of food for a deserving dog waiting for a new home :)

The dogs weren't very interested in going outside today. Maybe it was something in the air, or maybe they just wanted to watch football :P Either way, they spent most of their time relaxing with us on our couch. (Now you know why our couch is so long).

Frida likes to hang out on the back rest of the couch with our cat, Phoenix. She's ever so gradually taking over his spot.

We know this is a late post, but we were caught up in the big game. GO GIANTS!

Playing outside

Nothing better than crisp air, cool dogs, and bouncy tennis balls.

Dog Park Day

Yesterday, it was Frida's turn to go to the park. She had lots of fun playing with the dogs and wading in the water. She especially liked another beagle that she found. They romped all over the place and made friends with a mini-Aussie. I don't have any pictures of them romping together because they were too fast and I'm too slow with a camera. However, I did get lots of other pictures!

Cassie and Frida search for a tennis ball.

Ohhhh! Mud to dig in!
We even had a few avian visitors!

Farley is doing much better today and has settled in nicely. He and Orion don't exactly see eye to eye, yet, but he gets along really well with everyone else. He'll do anything to get you to throw the ball for him to fetch and he so well trained that it's a pleasure to work with him.
Everyone has tuckered themselves out today. We have dropped doggy bodies all over the living room! Some like to snuggle with each other (Orion and Oscar).

Cassie has decided that she REALLY likes Casey's bed (as well as Casey, I might add). She jumps in the bed and then looks at Casey like 'Hey, when are you going to jump in?'

Cassie has also decided that she really likes Farley as well. She's had googly eyes for the past two days and follows him around constantly.

Cassie: I want to lick you!
*slurp*

Farley: I want to chew on you!
*nom*

All in all, the days are good and the doggies are even better.

Oscar, Casey, and Farley

Yesterday, we got three new guests! Oscar and Casey are family and are little cutie-pies!



They are very sweet and Oscar is such a love-bug--always wanting "up" and to sit on your lap. They are the smart ones and are REALLY treating their stay here as a relaxing vacation. They've been hanging out in their beds all curled up and napping.

They may be the elders of this group, but once they want to play -- they're up and at 'em.

Our other guest is this handsome boy...

His name is Farley and he's a good boy. He has a few aggressive tendencies towards our two dogs (my guess is because they're relatively the same size). He's a little toy possessive and has had minor rows with them over who gets to walk through doors first and such. We're working through it and he's not a real threat...he just needs some patience and some help feeling more comfortable in this environment. He does very well with the small dogs, though, and absolutely LOVES Frida. She doesn't really pay any attention to him though. She only has eyes for Oscar.


Sorry, Farley. Love hurts, big guy. <3>
