Neglected Blog

It's been a while since I've been on Blogger or blogged for that matter. No matter how many times I tell myself "You need to update your blog!" It always falls last on my to-do list. Anyway....

Last month, September, I had to give Cabela back to Krystal because ever since I started high school I didn't have that one on one time that Cabela needed and my school work increased as the year went on. So we called up Krystal and told her the sitch and asked her if it was possible to give Cabela back. Long story short Cabela is gone and I feel like a failure for not giving her that extra time.

Here are some new (sorta) pictures and old ones of Cabela.

Sweet Cabela

I just love her eyes!

Holding a DOWN!

Also loving her fluffy ears

Hope you find a loving home baby girl! 

Four Months!

I have seen these posts on Blogger and thought, why not give it a shot?

I have had Cabela for about two months now and here are four things she has learned and I have learned about her!

1. She is super hyper! I know I have said it before but I can not stress it enough! 
2. Cabela has the command SIT down! (We are working on DOWN)
3. She will chew on anything! She really likes anything wood or anything hard.
4. And last, but not least, Cabela ADORES PEOPLE! She loves kids and other animals. She hates being alone! (need to work on that!)

She Is Here!

Well the little girl is here! Sorry it took me so long to post but she is a very busy puppy!

Her name was Prissy but we changed it to Cabela.
Her momma is a Labrador but we don't know what daddy is.
We are thinking she maybe has some Spaniel, Weimaraner (her eyes are green like the breed) and some golden.

She is very soft and fluffy! It is funny because her brothers and sister look COMPLETELY different!

The one on the right looks almost like a beagle!

Another looks like a German Shepherd and the last looks like  Boxer. They are all related!


Cabela had a number of problems including worms, a hernia and fleas. The worms are gone as is the hernia, but the fleas keep reappearing! I really hate fleas.

She is a chewer, but she will stop when told (and if there is nothing else chewable on the floor). She is a very hyper puppy!
Cabela LOVES kids. But she likes to nip at them.



Anyway to end this on a good note Cabela is potty trained! *cough, Sydney, cough* ;)  Mostly. She had a accident yesterday, but it was because I was being to slow getting outside. She has not had anybody call about her yet, but we will see!

Busy Weekend!

There was a little confusion with getting Blue this weekend.

At first Blue was coming to me Friday afternoon. Two hours before Blue was supposed to arrive, Kristal called and said that there was a person that was interested in adopting Blue.

Saturday my dad took the younger girls out for some 'Daddy Time' and took them out to eat and do things that little girls like doing. They stopped by Tractor Supply to take something back. Well on that Saturday Kristal happened to be there doing an adoption event. She said that the person that was wanting to adopt Blue never showed up and he still was with her.

Later on my mom and I took my sister to a birthday party and ran by Tractor Supply to talk to Kristal and see what dogs she had. BLue was with her and four of the cutest puppies, one of which I really wanted. We asked her when we could get a dog and she said after the event so that the dogs/puppies might be able to get a home.

So long story short we got Blue. He is the sweetest thing and also one of the smartest dogs I have met. We (my sister and I) taught him the commands SIT, DOWN and ROLL OVER in one night. Sunday night we got together with my grandparents and had a cookout. After we ate we were sitting down when we heard a loud growl. Blue had growled at my youngest sister, Elizabeth who is two. He did it a second time after she was hopping near him and accidentally stepped on his Blue's feet. My mom decided to give him back to Kristal, although she said that Lizzie deserved to be snapped at for doing what she did, but didn't want to take any chances.

So this afternoon I will be giving Blue back in exchange for this little girl!

I will be getting the one on the left, the more golden looking one.

NAME GAME:

Now, I know she is not a guide dog puppy like you would usually do the name game with, but I think it would be fun! 

I'm pretty sure you all know the rules,  basically you guess a name that starts with the letter I am going to tell you. I have no prizes to give out, so this will just be for fun! Anyway:

She is a female and her name starts with:

P

You can also guess what she is mixed with. I only know the mommas breed.

Have fun!

I'm Ready!!

I spent the whole afternoon yesterday getting everything in place for Blue.

• I washed the crate, which was out in the garage, because my sister used it for her cat and kittens and because there was spiderwebs and a dead spider the size of my palm in it. Well okay maybe not that big.
• I rearranged my room, so that I could put the kennel and the dog bed side to side.

• I made sure I still had everything I need for Blue. For example: food, leash, shampoo, brush, ect.

• I went through the whole house and cleaned the parts that needed to be cleaned (that is what I do when I wait for things like this). 

I am very excited about fostering again, and can not WAIT to get Blue. I want to train him really well so that he is a manageable dog and he knows alot of tricks. What fun tricks do y'all think I should teach him? Would LOVE to hear your answers!

He's Coming!

Yesterday I had to fill in some holes in the yard that Annie dug and Wrangler only made deeper.

My agreement with my dad was, if I fill up all the holes in the back yard then he would think about getting a new foster dog. So yesterday I borrowed a wheelbarrow from our nieghbor down the street and used some dirt that he needed out of his yard, and filled the holes.
I was supposed to get Blue today, but something came up so we had to change the date.

Blue will be coming on Friday, around twelve!
I need to get out all the dog stuff again and put the crate back in my room and pick up anything around the house that will make him sick.  And then wait for what already feels like forever.

New Dog!

Finally I am getting a new dog.



His name is Blue and he is a Australian Shepherd/ Retriever mix. He is over one year and maybe more than two years old, I don't know. Here he is!

Here he is, lying in the shade with another dog.
