Day 65/7/1 Welcome Roxy and Lola

Finally! We have some dog fosters for me to play with. Last night a family came to our house to drop off 2 foster dogs to stay with us.

Lola is a Boston Terrier/Chihuahua cross who is about a year and a half old. She is very friendly and loves to run around the yard with me. She loves Mom and is always running up to her for some ear scratches.

Roxy is a Miniature Pinscher who is four years old. She likes to play with me too, but not as much as Lola does. Roxy likes Mom as well but is more reserved than Lola. She likes to sit beside Mom but doesn't want to snuggle like Lola does.










Both dogs are very happy to be here. Their tails haven't stopped wagging since they arrived. Once we spent some time outside getting to know one another it was time to come inside.  After checking out the house and settling down it was time to meet the kittens.  Roxy pretty much just ignores the kittens. Which is good because they keep hissing at her.  They hiss at Lola too but Lola would like to play with them. She's been giving them space so at least there hasn't been any swatting.  The kittens are separated from the dogs, but can come into the dog's space if they want.

Sookie and her kittens are doing really well. Sookie still wants to stay with them all the time and hasn't left their sides.

Even when she's not in the kennel with them she checks on them quite frequently.

The kittens aren't very mobile yet. They crawl around on their bellies but stay in the kennel in their little kitten pile. Mom takes them out to have a quick snuggle, make sure everyone is doing OK and sometimes takes a picture or two.








There's a whole lot of activity going on in our house and Mom says we're over capacity. Tomorrow Dahlia and Rose are going to move to another foster home. Lily will stay to keep Violet company as Mom wants to keep Violet until she's adopted. AARCS is still looking for a permanent foster home for Sookie and her kittens too.
