Aja is a FetchDog!

Pretty girl Aja, adopted in June 2009, was lucky enough to be chosen to model for FetchDog.  Even though she is on a "Mickey" dog bed, that's Aja!  Isn't she beautiful?  Here's what her mom has to say:  "Aja...is truly our special girl! She's still just as ball crazy as ever ... she can play for hours never seeming to tire!!  When the weather turned cold, we headed to the basement for play time as she needs a little every day! She has also started going to doggie daycare to help better socialize her with other dogs. Aja has gotten really comfortable in the barn with the horses ... she tried to "talk" with them with her little bay that she does! What a hound-dog!! :) They are good with her and it's really cute to see! She also plays with our neighbor's Lab and mix breed ... she tires them out pretty quickly as her energy level is typical pointer!! Run, run, run!!

Oh yes ... Ms. Aja was recently the subject of a FetchDog catalog photo shoot! I had submitted photos last year so I was surprised when they emailed me a couple of weeks ago! She was a very brave girl going into this photo shoot with a bunch of people she didn't know, in a weird place! She modeled 2 collars and a dog bed! The issue is supposed to come out in April ... we're excited to see how her pics actually came out! She's modeling a bed with the name "Mickey" sewn on it.  At the end of our session, she basically passed out in the back seat! :) Such a cutie!

Well ... all in all ... we adore Aja! She is totally delightful and also gets us to smile! She's very people oriented but still a bit shy with strangers ... she's getting better every day though! I hope you enjoy the pics!"

Biscuit!

We adopted Biscuit in June of 2010. He is very happy - his tail never stops wagging! - and he is protective of his new family. He fit right in with our 2 girls and it’s like he’s been here forever! Sadly, our matriarch, Blue, crossed the rainbow bridge in March. She and Biscuit were able to run and play off leash in the snow in our back yard over the winter. Biscuit had great fun making snow angels and digging up chunks of crusty snow with his nose for him and Blue to chomp on.

Biscuit is almost the same age as our alpha girl, Dixie, and they have grown very close! They sleep cuddled next to each other, play tug of war with their toys and rough house. They like to play and run in ‘dog friendly’ fenced areas. Biscuit loves to ride and when he’s in the front seat with the window open he wears his red goggles! He closes his eyes in ecstasy when I brush him. Biscuit is always carrying something in his mouth – one of his teddies, a deer antler bone or chew toy, or his favorite fur frisbee! He has captured our hearts as we have captured his!

Java's New Happy Life!



Java in the shelter - tail still wagging!


UPDATE: Java is loving her new life in southern MA. She takes daily walks with my parents and has a playgroup everyday with her BFFs. She loves hanging out with my parents at night either playing with her toys, being patted or just chilling. During the weekends she enjoys going on family visits with parents or even better spending time at my parents cape house! Every member of our family who has met Java cannot believe how sweet she is, how responsive she is and how easy she is to train. She is making my parents look like trainers and in a family of three professional trainers that's not an easy thing to do. 

Thank you so much Lucky Pup for being an honest, upfront and qualified rescue.


Hugs - Java's new family..


 



Happy Playtime!



Java in her new digs!



Update on Sweet Baby Girl!

"Sweet Baby Girl is the most wonderful spirit. She loves her home and I love her. Such a cuddlebug, and she gets along with my much older dog Woofie- has livened him up somewhat- and my two cats. I'm so glad she came to live with us as her forever home, she is a doll. She's quite verbal, loves to talk, and is currently learning to say 'I love you' and ' almost there'."

Charlotte the Birthday Girl!

 Charlotte, adopted in January 2011, recently had a very special day:  "Hey to all, since Charlottes actual birthday was up for debate - she was estimated at anywhere between 7-10 months old depending who we talked to - when we had to register her Nancy and I chose May 5 for her birthday. Since Cinco de Mayo is a party day anyways, we figured it was fitting for her.  I have attached a few pictures from her 'party'. She doesn't like wearing hats too much though. And don't worry. We are NOT turning into the kind of people who are going to dress our dog and parade her around. But we couldn't resist the party hat!"

Sammy's New Family!

 Pretty Samantha was recently adopted and here is what her adoring family has to say:  "As you can see... she is quite comfortable. She loves the couch and she and my husband are inseparable.  Some days I think she is trying to do me in :)... she randomly leaves her toys on the top step or right behind my feet where she knows I will trip on them. Hmm.... Sammy and Bruski are quite active-- to the point the only time I can get her pic is when she is plum tuckered on the couch. We walk alot, play alot, and sleep seldom :). They tug and play for hours. She loves the outdoors and will sit and sniff the air, lay down, roll around, bark a little and sniff some more.  The fence is coming this Monday. We can't wait! She follows Bruski's lead but won't hesitate to compete with him. She is bigger and younger and loves to whack him with her huge paws. He is tough though and gives it right back. The other day she was watching him go to the bathroom while we were walking. She even tried to do her business by lifting her leg like he does. It didn't work out so well for her... she is back to squatting.  Sammy's only complaint is that she is too big for the bed. When I get up in the middle of night she waits for me to leave the bed and then tries to take my place! I am slowly being pushed down in the pack. I have to fight to keep position. :) She is funny one !!! :)"

 

The "Sky" is the Limit!

"We had a feeling before she arrived Sky would fit right in with our "family" and we were not wrong. After losing our first dog, Niki (a husky mix), who we had adopted from the Animal Refuge League in 1996 we were left with Kaya (our Alaskan Husky) & 2 cats. We had already been fostering for Lucky Pup for a few months so we knew where we could start looking for our next "lucky pup". When Janet told us about Sky (a black lab/husky mix with pretty blue eyes) we immediately said we wanted to foster to adopt her. And now 2 years later Sky has become an integral part of our family. With our daycare she has lots of friends who she gets to play with every day (along with Kaya and Adam, who we adopted from Lucky Pup last year). Some of her favorite spots are the Quarry Run dog park in Portland, Twin Brook in Cumberland & the Libbey Hill trails in Gray. When she tires herself out, she loves to be a "lap dog", sitting in your lap or laying by your side (or on the couch!). She is quite a character. Thanks to Lucky Pup for bringing us together:)"
