Kali Our 5 Foster 2011

Kali is a spunky, female lab/poodle mix. She is a huge sweetheart and has fallen in love with Richard. Where ever he is she has to be. She along with 5 other puppies (6 in total 3 have forever homes) came from a bad situation. Someone decided it would be a good idea to get their 9 month old lab/poodle pregnant and then let her lose. I lady found her brought her in and 10 days later she has six puppies. The mom dog had no idea how to care for the puppies it was very sad. At 7 weeks old the lady who took them in could no longer care for them finicaly well thats 6 dogs plus the mom its a lot to handle. She contacted us and asked if we could take them and find forever homes for them. The day and a half they were up on facebook the shelter who was going to take them in had homes for 3/6 of the puppies which was just wonderful. I ended up with the other 3 of course by my own choice, but who can say no to 3 7week old puppies lol.

Kali is the biggest sucky of all three of them, she is the smallest with the smallest feet. She also has the look of wire hair but it is super soft. She is not out trained and we are working on it just taking a bit of time because of their age. She knows to sit for a cookie, she loves to sleep with us in our bed and she has never made a mess in our bed, now we are up at 3-4 to take Dexter out so they do their business then as well. Kali is eating solid dog food although she would rather eat out of everyone else dish than her own lol. She is smart and cute. She loves to play out side she runs around and jumps and chases things. She just went in for her second de-worming and her first set of shots.  She weighs about 12LBS. She loves to give lots and lots of kisses!

Exam Week!!

Oh man am I glad thats over lol Medical terminology was kicking my butt this term and lucky me I passed it just barly but I did it, I am not sure how, but I am just glad I passed it. Exams where not that bad this term I only had two and the last one was a breeze! It was nice to end the week feeling good about my last exam. I can't wait for my final marks to come.

Learning how to study for terminology only took me all semister but I finally learned how to. Its crazy to go from deans honor list both terms last year to just barely passing one of my courses I am not used to that. I am used to be the straight A student it was not easy to deal with and very upsetting I am hoping that now I understand how I need to study that I will do better next term seeing as I have two terminology classes lol.

Santa Parade 2011

Well it has come and gone and of course I was too busy to blog about it lol. Friendly Giants walked in the Sarnia Santa Parade this year and it was so much fun, everyone brought their foster dogs and there were even a couple past adopters that came out to walk with us. Everyone along the way petted all the dogs and the dogs seemed to love all the attention. Dexter did awesome this was his first big event he loved all the kids long the way and was pretty sure they needed to share their candy canes lol. I am happy to say his first offical kid test he passed with flying colours lol.

I am hoping with us in the parade it got more of our name out there in this area then before, we are in great need of more foster homes!

I was way over dressed and sweating my butt off lol

Owen Update 2nd Birthday

A lot has been happening with Owen and with everything going on I have not had a chance to update my blog about him. He has started potty training and loves it! He loves his big boy underwear. He is in the 85%til according to his doctor, and he is way above average for speach and motor skills. He is 32 pounds and is 35 inches tall. Owen was a Monkey for Halloween lol pictures to come! He loved trick or treating and even went up to the doors and trick or treat, and thank you when he revived candy. His adoptive family got him 2 hockey nets and some more mini sticks and he loves it, he can't get enough of hockey!
Instead of a Birthday for Owen this year they did a birthday weekend they had two parties for him one on Saturday with friends and one on Sunday with family where he loved his cake. Pictures to come.
He opened the first door on his first advent calendar and well hes excited about the chocolate lol.
 He is doing awesome. We were supposed to have a visit this weekend, but with me being sick I didn't want to risk giving it to him, or his adoptive parents.
