Caution: Dog will lick you if you laugh at her collar! 

Former foster dog, Ubi is living life to its fullest on his own, private deck. We're still waiting to see if he's serving milkbones or jerky treats for the memorial day bash! 

Gemini is adorable. Please don't laugh at her! She is miserable in her e-collar! She just wants loving. OK, I should say, she just wants loving and TREATS! What a great dog. Plus, she's permanently winking at you! Sorry about the glowing eye there, it was dim light and the reflections were from the inner eye reflecting the light. I need to learn to use the camera. 

Gemini has arrived!

Gem is currently in medical quarrantine at our foster home.
She was spayed 5/24, and is over her kennel cough. She does have a couple of spots which we are going to have our vet take a look at on Tuesday.
She has been licking her stitches and has to wear an E-collar. The poor little girl.

She isn't letting the collar or her sight slow her down. She is a very cuddly and affectionate pup.

As our neighbor said, if she didn't have a bobbed tail, I wouldn't believe that it wasn't Annie!
She is definately Annie's look-alike!

More soon, gotta read the kid a book before she explodes....

What's going on?!?

In the past 3 weeks, a lot has happened.
I have graduated from college and did what people normally do in that situation- head to Disneyworld!
Ruby went to her dog sitter (another CODA foster home) and she met George (another cocker spaniel) and his mommy. George decided that he wanted Ruby as his forever loving sister.
They are both survivors of the puppy-mill giant corporations that breed these poor animals to death. They will have a relaxing and loving human care-taker who understands their special needs.
Our family dog almost got adopted by her dog sitter family. They tried! heeheee... but in the end they realized how much we love our furball!
The house cats were well-cared for by Joey, who counted paws whenever he came in to feed and water them and depoop the boxes.
The cats are very happy to have us home.
Since Ruby isn't going to her forever home for another week, we decided it was best that she have as few changes prior to her adoption as possible, so she will be staying with her sitter until the adoption goes through.
We are taking in a dog named Gemini. She has one eye, and looks exactly like our family dog.
She will be welcomed with open arms and heart and rehabilitated in the CODA way, with love and trust-building, food and treats with a ton of understanding and play-time! Annie will see to the play-time.
Hopefully Gemini's sight impairment won't keep her from chasing Joanna's bubbles in the back yard with Annie.
As always, it is an exciting time when we get a new foster, be sure to keep an eye out for Gemini's progress.
Ginny and Ivy will be glad to welcome their new CODA sister.

Annie sleeping next to her mess. She has been digging in her bowl, hoping to find a tasty morsel somewhere at the bottom. She has also been licking each piece of food to taste it, then spitting it out on the floor... OUCH! when you step on one of the pieces barefoot! 

This is Spackle Moo. 

Drastic Measures 

Just want to crawl in bed with her!!!
