Sunshine in the evening!

When we pulled Sunshine from one of the local shelters, she was considered 'snarfy' or 'nippy'... She's still not happy if she gets crowded too much by other dogs, but I wanted to post this photo of her with my husband... Right after I snapped the photo, she laid her head back on his shoulder and went to sleep...



So much for being nippy or snarfy, huh? (smile)

At night, she cuddles up and prefers to sleep under the covers with her head on my shoulder or touching me somewhere... She couldn't be a sweeter little pup if she wanted to be!

Coco did well at adoptions, as did Chloe & Sunshine

Our three somewhat fearful dogs did real well at adoptions yesterday - Coco, Chloe and Sunshine. I'm VERY proud of all three of them - Coco and Chloe especially. They handled the whole experience very well - not just being in the crates, but all the people coming by, new volunteers picking them up and holding them, etc.

Despite none of the three were adopted, it was a very good opportunity to be socialized and learning to handle new experiences and strangers that won't hurt, harm or scare them. Every new experience handled with TLC and patience is one more step forward to getting back to what a dog should be - able to trust and love unconditionally.

Sunshine's son, Gizmo, got adopted by a great family with young children and a mom that promises to love him to death.

Bravo, you three! I'm very proud of all of you!
