Look who has come to stay for a while?

It's Miz Augie!

Augie is the much beloved pooch, Queen of the household of our friends Erin and Carter.

We met Erin and Carter last year in February when they applied to adopt a Border Collie from my friend Vicki of Shedd Rescue. I offered to do their home visit because I lived close by. Of course they passed with flying colors and they decided to adopt a pup named Sugar who was one of the 2 pups that were picked up by animal control and went into rescue at Vicki's
Here is her blog entry about them http://sheddrescue.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Sugar as a wee pup

How adorable she is!

Sugar was renamed Augie and she and our Fynn met various times during puppy play classes in the weekend and they always played so nice and sweet.
They didn't see each other for a few months until January this year when we went over for a visit. We always ponder if dogs have a memory of dogs they have met before and liked. I guess we don't ponder that anymore! If I ever saw 2 dogs who were so happy to see each other again it were these 2. They smiled and whined and kissed and licked mouths and were off to play roughhouse, a favorite game. That evening was a huge success, humans and pooches enjoyed it very much. We offered(asked) to have Augie over if they ever had to leave town or needed her to stay for while. S o when they asked if Augie could stay with us for a few days in February we were looking forward to it. There's nothing more exhilarating and joyful than seeing pups play, run, chase, run, stalk, hide, run, dig holes, be silly and sleep and still run in their sleep ;-)

Here are some pics of their first evening together, we will try to write an update for Augies parents every day so they will have an idea of how Miz Augie is doing. We are impressed with all the tricks she knows, and Augie is impressed that Fynn is not upset with the gardner peeps being in the yard. They are both just standing staring out of the window at them ;-) Gardners are gone now so it's time to go outside and play!
