June in bloom
Today we held our first adoption day for June. We thank everyone who came and especially those who kept the appointments they had scheduled. It was a pleasure to meet you all and your families.
Maxwell, Vanille and Muffin were on hand as the meet and greet team. They are all pooped out now and sleeping quite deeply. They had lots of fussing, attention and walks. Hopefully, they will find their new homes in the next week and they can settle in to enjoy the summer knowing they are in their forever homes.
Maxwell is quite a character and keeps me entertained. He is also extremely loveable and cuddly. Vanille is quite busy and likes to have your undivided attention, Muffin is pretty laid-back and is quite happy to have a fuss made of him. He just rolls over and gives his belly for a tummy rub.
Roxy was spending the day with foster mom and dad and Pedro, so was unable to make it, but I'm sure she had a great time anyway.
Balou is recovering nicely from his ear infection and is coming back to life. We should a picture of him soon on the web page.
Emilie, Jeniese's daughter, set up a lemonade and cookie stand for the adoption day, but given the weather was not so good, there were not many sidewalk people to offer her goodies too, but maybe next time. She did such a great job last year at the Hudson Street Fair, with her friends, who also have Foxy dogs.
We have lots of ideas for Foxy's and some will be announced in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned.
At home, fence posts are being put in, so all the pooches can run free without worry. The electric fencing isnt very practical with 5 dogs in the house, so we have decided to fence in now, so they dont all go running off over the golf course and there is nothing worse than an irate golfer...
I have been reading a book by the Dog Whisperer, Cesar's Way. I highly recommend it. Its very easy to read and his philiosophy of dog psychology is amazing. I also ordered "Living in a multi-dog household" so am now trying some of the techniques and they seem to working quite well. With 5 dogs it does get a bit chaotic, especially when the door bell rings. So we will see how well we do. I'm am also exerting my place as the "Leader of the Pack" as Cesar recommends and that seems to be starting to work also. I like the way he approaches his dogs. He also keeps about 35 to 40 rescue dogs at his centre that he works with and takes them all on a 4 hour run every morning. That must be quite a sight to see in Los Angeles. Don't think I will be attempting that any time soon.
The gardens are all in bloom now and summer is on its way (so they tell us) and all the dogs are blooming with the love and care they are getting in their foster homes and we hope they blossom even more when they finally get their forever homes.
