Brinley

Always a learning curve with new ones that come to stay: Brinley is as well mannered as they get. However she gets quite nervous when left alone. Or when there are thunderstorms approaching.

With a a Coffee buddy in the background :)

A little more exercise got her to calm down and settle in better the follow days. As a 7 year old gal, she's really smart and got the hang of the routine really quickly!

 

With a face like that, you can't help but tell her everything is going to be all right. That, and the occasional lure of food. She is a Cocker Spaniel after all!

Nayla

A Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy: Need I say more? :) Nayla is one of those dogs that we fall in love with quite instantaneously. Biased, yeaaaaah, probably!

HELLLLOW!

How's this for a young puppy - she actually does stay still! But don't be fooled. She really loves to play with the smaller dogs. Never mind that her legs are all too long for her and end up all over the place chasing after them!

 

Am just waiting her for my mom...

Retriever Rolling Good Times

One is good: More is better. I THINK that's what they would say about retrievers! They all look at each other and go: "Oh it's you again" Even the non-retrievers are getting in on the calmness :) 

See (L-R) Shadow, Yarah, Samantha, Coco (retriever wannabe) and Maddy.

If we all got along like these guys, the world would be awesome!

Lola: Quick call the ambulance, there's something wrong with that dog!!!
Maddy: Zzzzzzz... tummy rub?

Lena

Can you believe that this was Lena just 2 years ago? Time sure flies and we are so thrilled to have her stay again.

Nothing much has changed! She still the happy wiggly bum with a snake dance to greet you everytime :D 

Great with most dogs, she's curious when the smaller ones zip past from under her!

Lena: Ok, ok, enough with the praise, can i go to bed now? ;)

Coco. Twister & Shrek (Transit)

 

What a trio! As they prepare for their journey towards the German land, it was great to get to know them. Coco warmed right up to us. She always saves a little dance for us when we see her. Makes us not want to let her leave! :P

Although Twister took some time to show some affection, she was merely being cautious. She doesn't shy away from cuddles if you give her some.

Mr Shrek, on the other hand, was very loving! He calls out to you and at any chance he'll walk right out to see what's happening on the other side. You can barely see him in this picture due to the light conditions - but he was trying to push past the camera to get OUT!

Safe journey guys!

Slugwash

You know it's a good day when there is a black retriever involved! Although Sluggie was only with us for the day, she had a jolly time outdoors :) 

All run and some sun makes for one happy gal.

Here's Slugwash with Yugo

Buddy

Buddy is a Bichon X Poodle that is always up for a game! He's incredibly lovable and great with the other dogs. He may look like a lap dog and likes to sneak a snuggle with you. But he bounces off to play with the others just as quickly :D

Lola

With a name like Lola, you'd always put a jingle with it some how. It's it a wonder that she looks at you like this? "Who are you talking about? Who is Lo-li-lo-li-lolaaaaaa?"

Lola is a super happy (excitable/nervous) puggle (Pug + Beagle) and loves nothing more that a person's company!

Year of the Ssssssnake

Hope your Lunar New Year celebrations have been great with the long weekend involved! Here's some of the dogs that we spent the holidays with :D

Baby

We see Baby every year! And while he's no longer a baby, you can see that he's quite the darling. Not too sure where he should be in the big open space. But he's VERY comfortable at home! 

Baby: "OMG, the big feet are coming up! Maybe if I look away it will disappear... is it gone?"

 Kiwee 

When it comes to being elusive on camera, Kiwee is certainly one of them! He worries when we approach. Worries when there's a camera pointed at him. Worries when being called.

So this was the best that we could do with him!

Yugo

Ah... Mr I-just-like-being-outdoors :P That's Yugo for you. He didn't care that there was pouring rain!

Check him out doing a little ditty ala Fred Astaire in "Singing in the Rain!" Too funny!

Gong Xi Fa Cai to all :D

Phoebe

Phoebe, parlez-vous français? Peut-être vous pouvez m'enseigner quand vous atteignez là :P

(translation: Phoebe, do you speak French? Maybe you can teach me when you reach there :P)

This gal is so nice as she waits to transit to her new home country. She meows sweetly and lets you carry her around without a fuss. We'll miss her!

Nous vous manquerons!
