Introducing Dalilah - Bearded Collie / Lhasa Apso Mix

Z-Dog Here.

I would like to introduce my new foster sis, Dalilah. She is the 5th dog in the house right now, so it's a little crowded. She's really nice, though. She doesn't steal my bed and shares her toys. Actually, since she likes to sleep under the coffee table, she's really never in my way at all.

She has one blue eye and one brown. How cool is that?!?

Mom and Dad went to pick up Dalilah at the Fort Worth Animal Shelter. She was really stinky and filthy when they brought her home. She was really glad to get out of that shelter. It was noisy and smelly and full of dogs that were a "bad influence". We had to get her away from there and bring her into our pack as soon as possible so she didn't get lured to the dark side.

Mom gave her TWO baths the next day. Frankly, I'm shocked that she didn't die from over exposure to dog shampoo. Then, Mom took her to Downtown Dog for a makeover Spaw day.

Here's her before pic (she was number 323):


Here's her after pic:


She is really smart. Mom assigned her the top bunk in the crate area and she learned to jump up in there with just two treats! She stays really quiet and goes to sleep quickly after she's tucked in. She's definitely housetrained because she hasn't had a single accident. She's not really an outdoors girl, though. She pretends to want to go out and do squirrel patrol with us, but then she turns back around and wants to go inside. I think she's addicted to belly rubs.


Paws crossed that her furever home comes soon!


Woofers...

Lucy Got A Makeover!

Hi Friends, Lucy here...

Zeus finally moved his rear end away from the computer so I could have some blogging time. I went to Downtown Dog and got a Spaw day! I was a little scared (okay, okay REALLY scared), but Ms. Gwen was so nice! She was very apologetic when she pulled the nasty hair out of my ears and shaved my rear end. She talked to me the whole time in this very soothing voice. It was kind of like going to the dentist. Really scary when you're there, but not so terrifying in hindsight.

I got a blueberry facial shampoo that make me a little more relaxed in the tub. For most dogs, the blueberry facial makes them totally relaxed. For me, it was more like taking 1/2 a Valium. Ms. Gwen says that once I relax enough to realize the bath isn't scary, that I'll really like it. I wouldn't put money on that bet, Ms. Gwen. You're good, but I have my Toadstool street cred to maintain.

Here's my before:



Here's my after:
Toodles,
Lucy
