Here is a note with cute photos of Lily (from Chloe‘s group):

She finally had hair long enough that when she got her nails clipped they gave her little bows..

Here is a video slideshow and movie clips of Chole’s family and the 6 month reunion we had on November 8, 2009:

You can see this and other CanineFostering videos on YouTube.

Chloe’s reunion photos

Well, Thanksgiving is over and I have a chance to get back to things that I’ve been meaning to do. One of those is to post more photos from the Chloe reunion. Dogs romping in the autumn…what’s not to like?

Indy, Koda, and Poppy say hello to Chloe - is she remembering when she used to nurse them?  It looked that way to all of us.  It was one of her first gestures to them when she first arrived.

Update on Lily

Here is an update note I received on Lily (from Chloe’s litter) from her forever family…

Today we went to the vet and Lily is a whopping 23.5 lbs. That is a 6.5 lb gain in 3 weeks. She got her last distemper and her first rabies and her nails trimmed. They did listen to her lungs and stuck their fingers down her throat trying to figure out the hacking issue in the morning till they eat. I had mentioned that a few other littermates were having the same issue. She said the lungs sound clear and there was nothing blocking in her throat, that she might have a little reflux. Her recommendation to me was to give lily a half of a 10 mg pepcid ac at night before she goes to bed and see if that helps. So we will try that tonight.

Last night William wanted to be brave and let Lily sleep on her pillow all night in our room instead of the crate. We blocked it off so she was only contained to our room and she slept all night no accidents. When he got up at 6 he took her out and let her have roam of the kitchen, family room and our bedroom till I get up at 8:30. We have been letting her roam the 3 rooms in the morning from when William wakes up till I get up for over a week and no accidents. So she is moving up in the world!!!

She is zonked right now, it is nap time, plus the shots and anxiety of the vet knock her out all day.
We have also been taking puppy classes with Kristin and Lily knows sit, leave it and is working on stay. She is also walking very well on the training collar Kristin recommended, walking her is now a breeze and enjoyable instead of being pulled everywhere.

So that is my Lily update

Lily puppy update

Here is an update on Lilly from her new family.  Enjoy!

Lily Lily has been doing better everyday. We found that putting a clock next to cage has helped greatly at night. We have only had a few accidents and none were poop!!! She loves to play with her toys and has discovered she has a voice, she now growls and barks. She even started scratching on the potty door this morning to go and she went. She also found an old pillow of ours on the floor and loves to take her morning and afternoon nap on the pillow like a pampered pooch. We love her and I think she loves us as much.

Two puppies have moved on

Well, two pups have left for their forever homes. I was sad to see them go and found myself trying to be busy to avoid feeling my feelings. They were the most active of the bunch, Lily and Tulip (now named Jubilee) and I will miss their presence in the puppy room. In two days the whole group will be gone and a new mama, scared, confused, and very pregnant will be here. Usually I take about a week to feel sad, cry as I clean the puppy room thoroughly, and enjoy my life. This time will be different and I wonder how I will attach to this new mama with Chloe still present in my heart?
