Phoebe learns "down" and Alley has an adoption pending

As promised, I am attaching a link to a video of Phoebe showing that's she's learned "down" from Bob.  It didn't take long.  She's a smart girl who likes people and treats.  In the video you'll see Bob, Phoebe and Mickey working on sit, down and high-five.  Phoebe has the sit and down and is working on her high-five.  Please keep reading the prior blog posts for more about this wonderful girl.  


Miss Alley has an application in process.  She is a lucky girl and her family will be lucky too.  My sister-in-law dropped by yesterday and immediately fell in love with Alley's sweet personality.  She asked if I could just say that Alley ran away so that she could have her.  Of course she was joking but she really did make a great impression on my sister-in-law.  

Alley continues to do her business outside.  Today was nice sunny day so I just left the back door open (we have a fenced yard) while I worked in the kitchen.  Alley and Miles found a warm spot on the back steps and did a little sun bathing.  Ah, that sun feels so good after we haven't seen it in months.  

Normally I don't have dog beds out in the house.  I typically just lay down blankets since they're easier to put in the wash when they get dirty.  Today I had to run into Walgreens for some things (I don't normally shop there) and I noticed they had some small dog beds reasonably priced.  I picked up a round one and a square one.  I got home and placed them down in the kitchen and Alley immediately selected the square one.  So, square it is!  They're a bargain at $12.99 at Walgreens.  Oops...right as I'm typing this she's now in the round one.  Well, either will suit her.  And the round one was only $9.99.  

Thanks for reading and thanks for thinking rescue!  Each dog adopted makes room for another dog to be rescued in Alabama and to make the trip up North.
