This fall has been pretty quiet for doggies since Olds College has been taking our Chinook Winds newbies to help out in the AHT program. For November anyway, we have only had 6 dogs come and stay. We started the month by sitting Britta and Whisper for the weekend of November 1st. These girls are easy peasy and the kids think it is neat to have them come and stay because they are loved by a teacher from their school and Whisper is not a greyhound. She is a Weimerhaner!
Whisper LOVES my bed!!
Then we had Darwin come and stay. His people had a new baby and Mom just couldn't cope with two dogs anymore. He has moved on to a foster home in Red Deer and hopefully will find a new permanent home soon.

Then I had Billie Blue surrendered to me. He came from Grande Prairie where he has been living outside chained to a vari kennel for the last two months, ever since his owner moved to a new place that wouldn't let her have dogs. Now, he is supposed to be a greyhound cross. Maybe Billie's great, great grandpappy was a greyhound, but that is about as close as he is going to get. He is an absolute doll and just adored Claire. When she went downstairs to bed at night he would lay at the top of the stairs behind the gate and wait for her to come back. I would have to convince him to call it a night and head for his kennel when I went to bed. Billie has moved to a foster home in Edmonton to learn to be a city dog again. We miss him!!!

We also had Molly come and stay when her people went to Florida. We like Molly, we just have to supervise her as she does not understand that she is 9 and thinks that she can run with the young dogs and then she ends up limping! She has to be put out with Sidney and trust me, she doesn't like it one bit!!
Last, but not least we have Ava baby. She came to stay for 2 nights before heading to her permanent home in Grande Prairie with Maggie and her family. You may remember Maggie, she was Wanda when she was here with me. Lucky Ava, she has a great family to call her own.
We are foster dog free and putting away some crates as our next visitors are not until Molly and Flynn come to spend Christmas with us. Seems quiet here with only 3 dogs, but it is nice to have the break too.
It's cold out!! Sid is in his jammies full time now.
