After Alex went to his new home we had a week's break while Tanya, Bernice, Jorja and Morgan were here. I should post those pics next! Then we picked up Yoko, a beautiful 6 year old black male that was just a joy to have. He was super easy and slept in the office with no issues. Yoko had a seizure in his previous foster home, but has not had another one to date. Dr. Anne, here in Edmonton, thinks that there is a chance that it was caused by the vaccinations he received the same day. It would be great if that is what caused the seizure because then we would know for sure. We will just have to wait and see if he has another one and make sure that his adoptive family is aware of the situation and all should be fine.
Here are some pictures of Yoko! The other greyhound ladies and myself have never seen another full sized greyhound sleep like this! Yoko is a very subdued dog, but I think there is a goofball in there.
On August 2nd, 2007 the kids and I completed our first marathon trip south. We went from our place to Lacombe and then cut east across country to Alix to drop off Yoko at Barb's house to be fostered. From Alix we zipped down to Red Deer and adopted an adorable Greyhound, Catahoola x from the Red Deer pound. We then stopped at Sonia and Andrew's for a quick potty break and then headed south to Calgary. We dropped of a beanie baby on the north west side of Calgary and then went to out Strathmore to meet Maureen from east of Regina who was coming to watch the Chuckwagons and deliver two greyhound puppies from the Swift Current SPCA. Well, to make a long story shorter, Maureen adopted one of the puppies herself, a little blue brindle female that she named Sage and the kids and I brought her brother home! We have named him Chester and we are taking some time to decide if we want to keep him. He is super cute, but is going to be a lot of work. I think he is worth it, Curtis still has to be convinced!
The first picture is of the Greyhound X I rescued in Red Deer.
And this is Chester. Isn't he just the sweetest thing you have ever seen! Mom, please no comments!

how many dogs do you have now?
We have decided to Keep Chester James so that will make three permanent and there is always a foster here. Our next foster will arrive on the August 25th weekend, that is if we don't get one sooner.
