Blogger Fail!!!!!

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry that I have not blogged in FOREVER!!!!! Just to let everyone know, Wrangler was adopted, I don't know any details, or who even adopted him! Wrangler was one of the cutest puppies I have owned/raised, and it was super hard to give him up. He had this cute little habit of when he wanted to go outside, he would hop up and down in front of you to get your attention. :) I will not be raising or fostering in May or June, because we will be out of the state for a while and I will be trying out for a play, but if I do not get in the play, puppies here I come! :) Again, I am soooooooo sorry this is late.

Puppy Of Course!

Well I have chosen to do fostering again. My mom contacted Krystal and I will be getting a 8 week old Saint Bernard mix!!!!! His name is Wrangler, and he has a smaller brother. ( I don't know what his name is). Wrangler will be coming today sometime or tomorrow after 3:30. I am super excited! I will post pictures of him shortly. :)

What to Choose, What to Choose.

I have been sick with the stomach bug since last night and I was just laying just laying in bed bored, so I thought, "Hey, why not post a few posts?" So as I'm laying down my mom comes in and asks me if I would like to

A. Foster another dog
Or
B. Try out for the town play, Sarah Plain and Tall


"You can't do both. You would not have the time."
So I am trying to figure out whether or not to foster again or try out for the play. So I wrote a Pros and Cons list.

                 Trying out for play
Pros                                                    Cons
1. The fun of it!                                  1. The endless hours of practice
2. Meeting new people                       2. Practicing all those lines
3. The thrill of being onstage              3. Less family time
4. People wanting your autograph. :)  4. You always have that one person who drives you crazy!
                                                                                                                                             

                                                           Fostering a puppy
                  Pros                                                                      Cons
                  1. Having a dog around the house                       1.Waking up early in the morning
                  2. Training the dog. :)                                          2. Having to pick up messes
                  3. The afternoon walks                                      
                  4. Cuddling with the dog at night. :)
                                                                                                                                                  


So there you have it! I am probably going to foster again, since the auditions for the play are at the end of March. Maybe the dog will have been adopted by then, but who knows. I am going to contact Krystal (the lady that I get the dogs from) tomorrow and see if she has any dogs that I can take. She was texting my mom pictures of some dogs that she has that are ready, and there are these ADORABLE Saint Bernard mixes. I'll see if I can get any pictures. She also has a Sheltie mix (4 mo. old) and a black lab (6 mo. old). So we'll see!

Abegail

Hi everybody! Great news. Annie left on Saturday, and this Monday I received a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Great Pyrenees mix.

She is very skittish around the little kids, and my mom                                                                                 said dogs that are skittish tend to bite. I highly doubt that she will but my mom has contacted the lady and asked her to take her back. :(
I am really bummed. She is SOOOOO nice!
I will not be able to get another one until I am done with a play that I'm in. (Charlotte's Web. I am one of the narrators, which the director said he wanted to be crows.)
Her name is spelled a little different than I am used to. I have a younger sister named AbIgail, not AbEgail. But whatever. :)



I grabbed these pictures from the Red River SPCA website, and she looks aLOT skinnier in the pictures than in real life. She is all fluffy, and fat. she reminds me of when the little girl on Despicable Me says "It's so fluffy I could DIE!!!" and, "IT'S SO FLUFFY!!!!!!" (If you have not seen that movie I highly recommend it.)
Well that's all for now, I will update y'all later!

Long Time, No Blog!

It has been forever since I last got on blogger! I would like to say my internet connection was too slow, but we fixed it so I can only say that I was being lazy.

I have VERY good news! Annie has been adopted! She will be a partner to a little disabled boy. I just hope she does well there. She still has problems chewing, and she is scared of loud noises.

I am a little sad that she is going, but have been telling myself from day one that she is not my dog.
Annie will be leaving Saturday at eleven in the afternoon.

I might get another foster dog, but it's all up to my parents. I'll keep you updated!

~Annie and Maddie

Annie

Okay, so I said that I would tell you guys about Annie and here it is.

Annie is a female, now nine month old, black lab puppy, and she has a little five point white star on her chest. Now, when I saw her star and her white tipped toes, I was thinking that she was a mix. But my mom researched black labs, and found out that the earliest black labradors had white spots on their chest.

Annie looks all lab. She has the lab lips, the tail, the coat and all the other traits of a labrador. She was going to be adopted, but the guy never called, so I get to keep Annie for at least two more months. *smile* 

Annie and her sister Danny, were found together on the side of the road in a ditch. The lady that found them had driven by after work that night and saw them laying there, and in the morning, on her way to work, they were still there so she took them in and the rest is history. Danny is really dark chocolate, and in certain lightings she looks all black. One of the best thing about Annie, is that she has not had one accident inside, or in her crate. Go Annie! 

One of the problems with Annie is that when I let her out side, she goes crazy! Any shoes that have been left outside are in her mouth in minutes. And when I say COME she darts away. If the little girls are outside, she wants to play with them sooooo bad. She will jump on them, do a little play bow, and run around them. This FREAKS them out. Does anybody have any tips on how to make her calm down outside?

THINGS ANNIE HAS LEARNED:

1. How to SIT on command. (with a little persuasion)

2. To go into her kennel willingly. 

3. To walk on a leash. (this one is a life saver!)

4. To go to bed on command.
