Lacy now Hilda!

We love Lacy, but we have renamed her Hilda, a nice German name.  She is so sweet.  She is getting along well with our dog Chase and is VERY interested in our goat!  She loves to take walks down to visit her.  We are keeping her on a leash when we walk her outside so she learns our area and her name.  Not sure how long before we will be able to let her run free with us on walks.  We watched the DVD from you and just got another one from the library to learn more about training her, and got her some new toys today too.  She really like our grandson and is concerned if he squeals.  Seems to want to make sure he is okay..

Thanks and blessings,

Brenda

Hi from Rover (AKA:Genie)I always wanted a dog named Rover and that was the name on her first sheet at your place. A sure sign I should adopt her, that and the sign at a church in Siren I saw on the was there that said, 'Energy Crisis?  Seek God and get a puppy'. She is doing ama

zing.  Very well mannered and my Border Collie and she are new best friends, play play play.....Even the collie gets tired out.  I love this puppy and she is adjusting without any problems.  thank you for your good care of my new puppy. Sincerely,  Marguerite

Cinnamon!

Cinnamon is doing wonderful. She is such a sweet little dog and fit right in from day one. She gets along wonderfully with my bigger dogs, too. She loves to play with my chocolate lab, Metzler and one of her favorite spots to be is either sitting between his front legs or laying on top of is back/ head. They both are goofy, but love each other. I'm bringing her in to the vet tomorrow to have her sutures from the spay removed and was wondering if it would be ok to stop into the shelter to surprise Ron (I think that's his name). I know that they were pretty close! If you happen to get this, could you let me know if this would be ok to do?  Here is a picture of Cinnamon (dressed up silly) with Metzler. I have more pictures on my phone and will try to send some to you from there soon.

Thanks for helping me find my new best little buddy!

Clive now Tucker!

Wanted to share that Tucker (we renamed him) is doing great.  We are in obedience training - he sits and lays down well.  Working on not pulling when walking on leash.  We are able to leave him off his leash when we're outside.  He loves running in our big yard.  He still tries to terrorize a few of our dogs sometimes, but I am able to calm him down easily and distract him.  He still loves cuddling on the couch with me, being held and loved, and sleeps on the couch until I carry him down to his crate for the night.

I'm sending a few pics from last weekend when we had houseguests (2 were 4 legged)  and him sleeping after getting his Lyme booster shot

Aurelia!

She is doing wonderful! She settled in fairly quickly and is a character all in her own. She is a bundle of energy. The other day she climbed the window screen while watching the birds in the bird feeder! But I love her dearly! 

Found her sleeping like this the other day!

Fonzie now Dudley!

Fonzie has had how shall I say this?..... A very active settling in period.  Which he has been a real trooper about. Our homebase is in Bloomington MN. But in the summer we spend a great deal of our free time at our lake property near Cushing WI. So our cats learn to travel right away. Fonzie who's name has morphed into Dudely is an excellent little traveler!  After a few minutes of meowing he settles right into his kennel and I don't hear another peep out of him. 
He has 3 new sibs in his new cat family as you already know. The bonding is going very well as far as I'm concerned. He plays and has started grooming with our 9 month old Marty. 


The other 2 cats are a little bit older but coming along in their own times. The oldest will still occasionally hiss. I will take that over piss any old day. 😜
Last weekend I took him to Grantsburg and got his rabies shot, all went well. 
He is also learning very easily as most cats do how to wear and figure out how a radio controlled collar and in ground fence work. So he gets to be outside when we are outside but only in the area we have laid out. Here in Bloomington and at the Lake. 
He is such an amazing little guy, lying here next to me right now head butting, begging for belly rubs, and tooting most foully as we work on weaning him off purina kitten chow and on to a more protein based diet.  
Anyway, Thank you guys! For all that you have done to make him the fine very lovable kitty that he IS!

Freckles now Fergus!

We are the Ainslie's and we adopted "Freckles" who is now Fergus. He
is the sweetest boy and learning every day. A Major chewer and hasn't
quite figured out that Ian (our 5 yr old Teddy Bear) is NOT a chew
toy! Rather than being a lab springer mix we are pretty sure that he
is an English Pointer/Lab.  Originally afraid of getting into the car
he now thinks its okay as he loves going to see new places. Not sure
about the big waves at Lake Superior but after a few more trips he
will probably hit a day of calm "seas" and then it will be fun. Throws
the ball to himself and can spend many, many minutes playing catch.
Loves his dad and they have become great pals. Mostly house broken and
walks well on a gentle leader, bit of a puller without. Very into
deer, would chase them if allowed. So, I can let you know that he is
very happy in his new home and we are very happy with him.  (has been
great when introduced to the grand kids. Will send pictures with them
some time).

 

Have a great day, Chris and Fred Ainslie
