She is home




I feel like going to the stationary shop and ordering birth announcements!!!!!!!!!!!

This beautiful girl joined our family over the weekend. Her foster parents, Van and Susan, are two very special people who have beautiful hearts, and who prepared Sil extraordinarily well. Thank you Van and Susan...and of course, foster brothers gorgeous Dewey and Kane.

So, Sil has swished in and plopped down...like she always knew. She has a very sweet personality...and is a good listener. Of course, whenever a new dog enters our home, there is a period of time where everyone is readjusting and making room. We see Ava being a bit naughty...Canoe being a bit insecure...and my husband making these disgustingly sweet murmers to this new dog. "Here you go, sweetheart...I have another lamb lung for you....yeessss, I know you like that beautiful." LOL!!!! He turns into this mushy James Bond. (and that is why Ava gets a little naughty...Dad is HER James Bond!) But after some time, and some normal routines, everyone will fall into place and live happily ever after, right?

We are wondering if we are going to change her name. Probably not since we have soooo many opinions, but some of the ones that have been suggested are: Lola, Nadia, Posey, Sally, Alice, Mishka, Poppy....well, you get the idea...they are all over the board. So if you're reading this, please feel free to vote for your favorite, or offer another suggestion. For now, we will continue to call her "Sil".

Many thanks to all the wonderful people who made this adoption possible...Susan and Van, Patty Winters and Suzanne Lipsom. What a great experience...SEGA is the best.
.....and Quick Silver, you will always be in my heart...you lovely girl.

It's a GIRL!!

WOW - Last night I did not have time to leave a comment, but saw the picture of her on her bed. She seemed so content.

So today when I checked back, I saw the new picture... OH MY! She is so very happy. What a beautiful picture. The image of her trotting through the grass captures the joy on her face.

It is wonderful to see her so happy.
