UPDATE FROM THE CANUCK!

Sorry folks...................I know it has been awhile since the first update............but this girl has been BUSY! My home is quite large and I have to do a lot of investigating. Here is my update as I know you humans at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary are a little curious on how I am adjusting. Plus - I am a little popular...............I actually have a "Following" with my blog. I think you humans call them "groupies".

It has been just over a month since I landed on Canadian soil. I must say that it has been very interesting so far. My yard has lots to investigate and interesting smells to tickle my nose. I especially like taking a sniff of the daisies that my mom has planted. Sometimes I give them a little chomp too! ;o)

I got a brand new collar..............a beautiful purple to go against my gorgeous rust colored coat! I also got my VERY own name tag that has my name and phone number on it. I had mom take a picture as I am so proud of it!

Abby and I are best friends. She is a very confident girl and has helped me immensely to open up. My mom realized (as she is involved in rescue also) that I definitely needed a home with another canine. I give Abby kisses all the time and the other day I gave Bella, the cat, a big old lick and for some reason she gave me a funny look!

Oh, Oh..............I met my new Vet a couple weeks ago. He said I am in very good shape for my age and that is a big THANK YOU to Best Friends for fixing my teeth and my lump!

I have maneuvred the stairs also but my mom doesn't really want me going up and down them all the time...........something to do with my lllllllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggggg back and short legs. So when it is time for me to go upstairs, I get a lift to the top of the stairs and the same on the way down.

The other day my mom doggysat a dog that she once fostered. His name is Rio and he is H-U-G-E. I have to say though he is one of the kindest dogs that I have met. He was very gentle with me.

I have really come out of my shell. I now play with the rope, carry the ball and squeak the odd toy. My little tail is always going! I guess that means I am really really happy.

It feels so good, after all these years, to find someone to give me all the TLC in the world and provide me with a forever home.

Saturday is "Beauty Parlor" day for Abby and me. I am going to get a bath and my hair styled. Abby is going for a trim also so she doesn't look like such a rag-a-muffin!

I just want to say THANK YOU Best Friends for rescuing me and allowing me to live out "a dog's life" for my senior years. Say Hi to my caretakers at Old Town and the Laundry Room staff.

Well gotta run...............................I hear the treat bag rattling!
