New Years Eve

Hi furiends Mom is trying something new. Posting on my blog using her fancy phone.

 This little cutie is named Tucker.  He is almost 3 months. He has a Lab looking kind of face but a tail like a Pug. It is thought he is probably a Pug/chihuahua mix....He came to us a week ago.Very sweet and happy and his coat is shiny and soft.

 This is Chico.  He is still with us and is getting more fun and blossoming more all the time.  Fearfulness is so much less than when he came.  He has someone interested in him.  Keeping good thoughts it will be a good fit.:-)

 The sunrise out our Window this morning.

 Nala on the left and Rosie on the right.  Celebrating New Year's early.

Chico..we like this Xolo ...The Mexican hairless.  A very interesting breed.

Nala loves Lucas. He us her hero.

wishing everyone a special New Year.

Ernie, Chica, Lucas, Rosie and the fosters....Chico, Nala, & Tucker... Barb

Amazing...

Well, I don't know what happened BUT I tried signing in again finally on my laptop.  Oh yes this is Barb.  Ernie is busy - well all the dogs are.   They got some new chews and are quite busy trying to see how fast they can get rid of them.  The amazing part of this post is I was actually able to sign in  on my laptop   :>-) !!!   So while I was in I thought I would do a short post.  Hoping everybuddy is doing well and want to let you know we haven't forgotten about you all. 

The video is of our 2 fosters.  Nala is the little one.  She is very sweet and we should have picked the name Wiggles... that is what she does.  She is the happiest little girl, even when being schooled by our alpha Chica or any of the other dogs. The tail wags even then.   Chico is the Xolo playing with her.  He was an owner surrender and was Very Fearful. We have had him for about 2 weeks and he has settled right in.  He cuddles with us and plays and we have seen such a big difference.  Even the director of  the rescue we volunteer with is amazed at his transformation.   Nala being such a happy girl has brought out the playful nature in Chico.  Now he even initiates play.

We have never had a Mexican Hairless before.  Really different but he does have a bit of hair on his head, his feet and the tip of his tail.  They are very smart dogs and we are learning a lot abouit the breed.  That is a good thing.  He loves my husband and I think the feeling is mutual.  If he doesn't get adopted by just the right people, he may be with us for a longgg time.  That wouldn't be so bad  either :-)


Hope to be back soon.  We will be visiting our furiends too.  Have a fun rest of the weekend.

Nala

Why???

Hi there... Barb here...blog problems again .  Thought we had it fixed.  Don't know why?? But I can read and update using my IPad but the laptop tells me I have to clear cookies and cache.   Been doing that but still get the same message.  Do here is a rerun or reshow of pics.

Wild horses in the spring near our cabin.  Just 2   Mom & foal in this pic.  There were 2 herds but now only have seen the one herd. They are beautiful and 3 babies  in this one.

Love this pic of our big 3....Niki in front, Tater in the center .. Our retired racer, and Bo in the background. An awesome group for many reasons.

Just had to include this pic of our Angel Sasha playing with one of our baby fosters.  She was the best and loved to welcome and watch over the fosters when we brought them home.  She would always look disappointed when we came home with an empty crate. It was only empty cuz they were adopted :-)

Still working on trying to use the laptop for the blog.  If anyone has an idea why we can't use it..please let me know I would appreciate it..  Thanks for still checking in with us

Barb, Ernie,Chica, Lucas, Rosie

Lazy days

 

WhooHoo!!!! After hourrrrrs of trying... we finally got into our blog on the Mom's laptop.   We were running out of things to try.  Keeping paws and fingers crossed it is truly fixed and workable now.

 

Guess Chica was too tired to actually get into the bed. But she sure was enjoying the sunshine.  Maybe it was a pillow for her sweet head.

Mom was sitting here  but got up to fix lunch.  When she came back, well, you can see Rosie, Chica, and Lucas took over.

How about this froggy.... He liked it on our deck.  He spent a lot of time.  Maybe he liked the sun too..

Introducing little mitey mite Bambi. One of our new fosters.  Sorry Bambi about the pottying picture but you are very fast and this is the only picture that didn't come out blurry.. She is 2 months old and about 2 pounds.  She CAN take care of herself tho when our other foster Nala  plays with her.

  This little sweetie is Nala.  She is 3 months old about 4.6 lbs and is SUPER fast.  She runs like the wind and when she is happy her whole body wiggles and her tail wags.  When she is picked up tho she just cuddles and snuggles..

AND this is Rocky still looking for a home.  He is an older little man-- maybe between 6 and 8.  He is a fantastic friend to take on walks. He has excellent leash manners and has come a long way in learning to be part of a pack and a family.

Yup, here I am hanging out on the couch.  Trying to stay out of the way of the 3 visitors.  That little Rocky guy is trying to move up the ladder... He nipped at the hairs on my back end.  Imagine that little twit trying that with me... Well, I had to show him who was boss!  I put him on the floor, held him there and made a lot of growly noises.  You shoulda heard him!  BUT I promise I did not hurt him.  Now he watches me and doesn't usually come too close.  If I go one way he goes the other way or follows me at a distance.  :-) Notice in my picture my hairs look like some brown.  What's with that?   I am black haired....Oh well, I still think I am handsome

This spider was crawling up the side of our cabin.  Never saw one like this before.  Does anybody know what it is?

This guy was playing in our front yard.  Too bad we were in the house  or we would have chased him right back to where he came from. 

Bye for now.  WE will BE back. 

Thanks for visiting

 

Finally found our blog & other stuff

Hey everybuddy, 

We have been visiting  all our  blog furiends.   Good to be back.this video clip is our newest foster Rocky.   It took hom a bit to settle in but he is starting to trust and he even found a special toy and  plays with it. So e where along the line someone  must have cared about him.  We went for a long walk and he has perfect leash manners! 

About time Mom included me in pics, after all it is my blog.  Notice how will it sit on the corner of the couch.  This is my man of the house pose.

This is our other foster Penny.  She was just adopted. Some people saw her picture and drove for 2+ hours to meet her.  The man really liked the video of her playing with the toy moose she picked out.  He liked it so well and could see how much fun she had with, he offered to buy it for her.BUT mom had already included it. In the care package she made up for Penny's first days in her new home.  They promised to send updates and pics.   That would be good!

After Rocky finished playing with his toy sheep (truth be known). It was mine but I shared it with him.  Mom said I was such a good Ernie dog.

OMD. Mom could not get into blogger for a looooooonggggg time. She hasn't figured it out yet but she got in this morning...

Mom and her friend took  the Rhino and went exploring.  She took lots of pictures.

This is one BIG rock!

Mom took lots of pics and went even where no trail was.  She said it was fun,

It was quiet up here and so peaceful.

More pics

There was a nice pond here earlier in the year but it was all dried up when they went there on their exploration..

I told you she took lots of pictures.

Mom here... Thought we had totally lost the blog until we found it again this morning.  I founded it while using my IPad but did not find it when on the laotop.  Will be trying the laptop again.  Keep fingers crossed for us please.  We have 2 near foster babies.  Will include pics of them.

Hang in there please.  We want to get back to catching up and visiting you all.

LIFE IS GOOD:-)

WhooHoo!!! We're back?

Hey Everybuddy.  It's been a Loooonnnng time.  Mom isn't sure what happened but I think she finally figured out why we couldn't update.  So Now I think she is getting carried away with some of the pictures she took.  We have really missed visiting everyone and hopfully we are on the right track now.  For some reason Mom couldn't update, upload pics or whatever.  I heard her say she was very frustrated with blogging.  I think she is over it now.

 We went to the cabin for a few days and this buck laid right by our fence and watched us for over an hour.  Then all of a sudden he jumped the fence and walked past us.  We were on the deck watching him watch us.  As he walked past us he stopped to scratgch his ears with his foot.  He has 4 points on each side.  Some would say he is a 4 point buck others called him an 8 point buck. We didn't care cuz he was very handsome.

 And in no particular order this is one of the flowers on our Rose of Sharon bush.  It was really loaded with them this year.

 Mom doesn't remember the name of this plant.  A neighbor gave it to her and the flowers are very striking.

 This little girl is Mosa.  Very sweet and one of our fosters. Everyone loved her.  She is very sweet and happy.  She also was adopted by a wonderful family.  Congratulations Mosa!!!

 She sure did love to go for walks and play.. Miss her but know she is in a really good home with people who love her. 

 Sweet Max.  So cute, friendly, and playful.  He also liked to go for walks.  He was adopted by a wonderful family shortly after Mosa was adopted.   Wow 2 adopted in one week.  He was so happy when he saw his new family and they were Very happy with him. 

 

 A beautiful doe we saw while we were out riding on the Rhino.  She watched us and we watched her for a few minutes.  Then the hungries took over and she went back to grazing.  Such beautiful eyes.

 Going from left to right, Rosie, Chica, and Lucas resting after a big day of walking and playing.

 This is now one of our fosters BUT is a good size frog sitting on their crate that is on the deck. 

 Rosie and Chica.  One would thing Mom asked them to pose but they did it on their onw. 

 One of the rides we took on the Rhino.  Mom parked it for a bit because there was a large flock/herd of wild turkeys.  Hoping that they would stay closer so she could get pics of all of them, including the young ones.  Didn't work. They didn't like the noise even though Mom turned it off.

Max and Mosa playing.  They were best friends and loved to play and run together. 
Well, that is it for now. 

Had to remind Mom that I should have my picture in here too.  Wags to all of  you who had not given up on us totally.   Ernie, Chica, Lucas and Rosie

 

PeeEss:  next time.... our 2 newest fosters, maybe some pics of trip to cabin and stuff.

Thanks for dropping by

Catch up time....

Hello friends, We have been gone a long time and we have missed a lot..  Have been able to read some but when trying to do a post we were in a loop or something.  It kept redirecting.  Also we have been busy with fosters, trips, GG not doing well and went to the cabin a couple of times. Now to do some catching up.  BTW we are going to try and get around to reading all the posts of pour furiends.

 This is Sparky.  He was a fun guy and was adopted by a great family.

 

Not such a good picture but at the far left is our Sasha.  She is getting older and not doing so well. She sleeps a lot.  In the middle is Sparky and the black pup is Tarzan.  Both Sparky and Tarzan were fun and went to nice families.

Guess.... These are some of the collars I was making for our Rescue group.  Only I forgot to take pics of the finished collars before I handed them over for the last transport. 

Couldn't help myself. You will see a few pics of this sweetie.  Her name was Milli and she was adopted by a wonderful family who loved her at first sight.  A real sweetie.  Sure miss her.  She is a Pit mix.  Smart and curious and loved to play.

 She is very photogenic.  Her new mom and dad love taking pics of her too. She was 3 months old.

 

Did I say I liked taking pics of Milli????

OK OK ... so this is the last on of Milli for this post.  Loved her.

Another foster Webb.  We had trouble with that name and started calling him Jack.  He seemed more like Jack than Webb.  Sooooo sweet

What a beautiful face.  He is part Doxie and kinda looks like a Belgian Malinois in the face.... at least that is what lots of folks said. Oh and yes he also now is in his new home with a family and kids of his own.  Loved him too....

 

 

This is Sally... another foster that recently found her forever home. She is also very photogenic and was very shy and standoffish at first.  Then she found out about playing and being with people and other dogs and going for walks.  What a difference.  Her new mom and dad loved the way she walked on the leash.  They called it her happy walk.

Couldn't resist another pic of Webb aka Jack

There is a wild horse herd near our cabin.  They are beautiful  The sad part is people who could no longer care for them just turned them loose to fend for themselves.  At least that is the story.

The hoses have been hanging around with the cows.  There are 3 new foals

 in the horse herd this year.  It is awesome to see them.  Some people have been coming over on the weekends or holidays and doing things to scare or chase them.  What is it with people anyway... So wrong.

A beautiful buck with 4  or 8 points depending on a person's point of view .He was laying right next to our fence and stayed there for an hour just watching us.  Then he jumped over the fence and walked right near us.   Didn't seem bothered by us at all.  Maybe he was hoping to get cool or get some water.... we had the sprinkler on...

This little one is Kingston.  He was adopted Monday by a fantastic family.  It was priceless to see their faces when they came to meet him.  The daughter had worked and saved money and done research.  He is one lucky little man...all 4 lbs of him.  He is about 3.5 months old. Again an awesome, smart and sweet little guy. 

Couldn't resist... This is Sally.  And is a much better picture than the earlier one.  Right now we are foster free.  Somehow it doesn't seem right. There is a foster coming.  Right now she is being called Pie because she is sweet as pie.  She is from a hoarding situation.  Don't know much about her except that she has a skin condition.  Even with that she looks cute and  we hope it won't be long before she gets here.

I am dedicating this post to our sweet Sasha.  She went to the Rainbow Bridge This past Thursday.  She is no longer in pain, can breathe much easier, can play and meet our other dogs, Bridget, Niki, Bo, and Tater.  And also all the friends she made during her life here with us.  She was an awesome asset for the fosters.  She welcomed them into the house, took care of hubby when he would fall, and she also was a rescue like Ernie, Chica, Lucas, and Rosie.   Maybe one could even say she was their "mentor"  Miss you sweet girl.  I feel your spirit still with us.  I have seen the other dogs seem to be looking for her.  

Bless you all.  Hope you haven't given up on us ever getting back to blogging.
