Saphyre doing well

We had Saphyre back at CCHS this afternoon for a check up. She is doing well, and we will just continue balancing giving her attention with keeping her quiet. It was very easy to see that Saphyre loves Heather! She is always friendly and affectionate, but when Heather walked in the room her joy knew no bounds.

Saphyre has arrived

Our new foster came home with us on Saturday when we returned Winston. Saphyre is a big girl -- and strong. She is being treated for heartworms right now, so she will be with us for about a month. And during that time she is to remain quiet, which is quite a task for this young happy dog. She is immediately ready to play and be petted by anyone, just your typical, happy, playful, tongue swinging dog!

Winston has a family

Good news this morning! We took Winston back to the Humane Society on Saturday -- and he has already been adopted. Yay for Winston and his new family. He is such a sweet boy; I know that he will be such a good addition to a family -- and will keep them laughing at his silly antics.

Thursday

We have all come down with sickness this week, so Winston's outings have shortened somewhat. But Isaac took him down to the ball diamond to play this morning -- you have to see his goofball antics in the video below! This is definitely a favorite past time of Winston's. Goofball craziness. He should be a comedian.

Monday

Winston has been playing with his kong and chew toys all morning, and is now all tuckered out dozing off to sleep at my feet. I couldn't resist and reached down to tickle his belly with one finger as his eyes dropped shut. And he stretches and rolls over farther on his back for a full belly rub -- and closes his eyes. Such a sweetie pie.

Saturday

Took Winston in for his check up today, and it looks like he will be staying with us another week. We are glad to have him, but know that the sooner he can find his Forever Family the better for him. But one more week to get a bit healthier is better for everyone.
Our family space is two adjoining rooms with a large open doorway between. Yesterday, Winston enjoyed laying on the cover layed for him in both rooms, wherever I was sitting. Today, Winston just lays at my feet -- forget the cover. Forever Family -- whoever you are -- you are one lucky family to have this devoted dog.

Be sure to check out the videos of Winston at the bottom of the page.

Thursday

It is hard to choose just one photo of Winston to put up for today. He has grown so at ease and playful. We call him Goofy, with his silly antics, twisting and jumping chasing his kong toy, or playing with his rope.
It is hard to show in a photo just how affectionate, Winston is, so I have posted a video at the bottom of the page. You can see how he loves -- and a bit of how silly he is.
Winston will be due to return to Champaign County Humane Society on Saturday. At the beginning of the week, I really doubted that one week would be sufficient for him to become confident enough to go up for adoption. But Winston will be very ready to meet his new family -- whoever they are -- and go home.
