Day 2 - Giz & Sid

So the kids had a good night sleep and so did I, they did not wake up until early morning when I was checking out the kennel. Mom was so happy, she was worried all night and actually got up and checked on them but they were sound asleep. I got them up at 5:30 cause I was hungry.. he he!!! These puppies might come in handy for something yet... Mom sure got up fast!!!

Mom changed Crosby's name today, she decided that Crosby was just to much and a boys name so Sidney it is but we call her Sid for short and we shortened Gizmo to just Giz, it's much easier. Mom sure is having fun with them. All I see is that she spends alot of time on the floor and then going outside with them. Tanner is still trying to be the hero and hang out with them, but he just wants to steal the toys again.

Mom says that Giz is the laid back one and she will go into her kennel on her own to sleep when she is tired, Sid on the other hand, she is a handful. She might be small but she is go - go - go. And noisy. Well they both can be noisy, wow, you should hear the racket they make when they are hungry. Mom made a big mistake and and didn't put their food to soak over night. Well we had to listen to them for 1.5hrs. It was funny though since Giz actually does a little howl.. maybe I will join her one day... I like to howl too.

Well we made it through the first full day. I just stayed out of the way. It was easier that way.

Day 1 - Crosby & Gizmo arrive

What the heck are these things... they sure are small and smell funny. I don't think I like them... Tanner seems to be more interested in them than me.. actually I think Tanner just wants to steal the new toys, he really doesn't like them either.

I think I will just go and hide and watch from afar. They sure do seem to like Tanner, Crosby keeps crawling all over him. Mom thinks that they think he is their MOM.. how funny is that. "not the mamma" ha ha!!!!

Shayra & Shelli came over to see them and of course give me pets too. Shelli is my new BFF since she looked after us and gave me lots of attention. They really like the puppies too. Im not too happy about that!

Whew they finally went to Sleep, now its my turn for some LOVE.

Fostering for Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society

Hi There,
Im Kracker and my Mom has promised to write about our adventures in fostering for AARCS. Im a rescue dog myself, yup that's right. I was wondering the streets of Canmore very lost and lonely when I was found and taken to the Bow Valley SPCA. They were so nice there, I had my own little room and lots of people to give me attention. My Mom was looking for a smaller dog to be company to Rocky and she picked me. I was on my best behavior when she took me home. Rocky wasn't too sure and gave me a few growls, but I just growled back and told him I was staying I liked my new Mom. My old life wasn't very good, I was left alone lots and developed some bad habits. I love to chew and I was really fond of baseboards and other furniture, the odd shoe was pretty good too. Wood though was the best. After about 3 weeks I finally started to be me and the temptation to chew was just too great.
Mom was not happy so she had to put me in a kennel - OMG kennels are evil and I hated it and was so scared that I chewed thru that kennel. Anyway long story short with lots of exercise, chew toys, bones and love I now rarely chew anything that Im not allowed to and its been a few years now. Every once in awhile if I get too stressed out I will chew something but I know I'm not supposed to.

We then moved in with Mom's boyfriend who had 2 dogs, Tanner and Touchdown. I love these dogs but Rocky didn't. He hated Tanner so had to go live with my cousin Kitta. He is way happier there and I still get to visit with him and go camping with him so that's ok.
Touchdown was old and he left us last year so now its just Tanner and me. But we are best budds, my Mom calls us Mutt & Jeff, Im not sure why.


We do everything together and so yes we will be fostering together as well. Mom has been cleaning out the little room in the basement and telling me we are getting visitors but Im not sure what all the fuss if about. I guess we will see.
She showed me a picture of the two puppies that are going to be staying with us. Boy I hope they don't bug me too much! They sure are cute though.
