Day 21/28 Goodbye Alley

Yesterday Alley's new family came to pick her up.  She's going to have such a fun time living with them!  I've never seen her so wound up and wanting to play.  She was running all over the house, but right back to them.

Ike has come to stay with us for 3 weeks while my best buddy Gord and Shirley are on vacation.  Usually Ike just stays at home and people come to visit him every day or LT stays at their house.  However, LT has two cats and one has decided he doesn't like Ike.  Therefore, they can't stay with Ike any more.  And 3 weeks is a long time to just have daily visits so we all decided that Ike should come stay with us.  Y'all have seen Ike before because he's our 'test cat' for new foster dogs and I've posted a picture of him.  So far he's not happy being away from home.  He doesn't travel very much so it's not surprising that it'll take a bit of time for him to get comfortable.  (plus he's a bit cranky to start with)  He's been hanging out in the bedrooms during the day, but did some exploring last night after we went to bed.  Mom said she heard him eating last night too so she's not too worried about him.

We've been going for walks around the neighborhood but haven't seen very many dogs so we haven't had much of a chance to practice Sierra's introductions.  There are two little dogs that live a couple of doors down that we did see one day.  Sierra greeted them with no issues at all.  Sierra seems pretty good with little dogs and face to face.  It's when they start to sniff her butt that she reacts.

Sierra is quite funny at times.  Lying on her bed with her head hanging over on the floor is her favorite way to sleep.  Mom says this hurts her neck just to look at, but Sierra likes it just fine.  She's also funny when she tries to play with me when I'm on Mom's bed.  She knows she's not allowed on the bed so she jumps up at me and then back off again really fast...over and over again.  She's not very graceful so it's quite funny to watch. 












Well that's all the news I have for today.  It's sunny outside so I think I'll go lounge in the sun for awhile.
