ALice has a visitor

Thursday was a sad night for Alice, when Alba left. Luckily, she did not have any problems with separation anxiety, in fact, she has mellowed out since then. On Saturday, we went to the Profeed event and met several great couples. Unfortunately, Alice still has anxiety when she goes to the events. Don't let her squirming mislead you, Alice is a very active and affectionate dog. Monday night, Alice started puppy training classes in Sterling. She learned the lure, her name, to sit (which she sort of knew), and many other things. She was very nervous while there, but I am sure that only positive things can come from this.

As we were coming home from puppy training we had a visitor. Shorty, another foster dog, came to stay with Alice. He will be staying for about 10 days, then Alice will go to his house and stay while I go on a trip. So far, they have enjoyed spending time together. They run around outside, play inside, and basically have no issues with each other. I think Alice will grow from spending time with another dog that is not her sister. Although, I am glad to hear that Alba is coming out of her shell. Shorty can be found on petfinders at http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=14184308. Alice can be found on petfinders at http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=13668180. Her pictures have been updated, so if you saw the old ones, you can see the progress that she made. If you would like to see Alba on petfinders, she is at http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=13711758.

Alba's new foster home

I'm alba's new foster mommy, and she was really nervous when she first came to our house... new place, new people... but now after 5 days she is really starting to come out of her shell, and as I type this she is coming up to the couch sniffing my cat. She has adopted a large cat box I made years ago for my cat who never used it.
She loves going for long walks and jogs, she is very curious and likes to sniff things, but she is not wanting to stop constantly, she still likes to go forward. She is getting used to our horses, she will go up to the fence and bark at them some, when I let her go nose to nose with my pony though, she went up and sniffed him, and then moved on, she is still getting used to them though. I gave her a bath yesterday. I hooked up the hose to a warm water spigot, and while she was not the biggest fan, she didnt fight it. She also got to go for a little car ride yesterday, we took our motorhome up to get gas, and she hid in the back, in the bathroom while we were driving, but once we got to the gas station I took her out and let her look around while my dad filled the gas.
