Easter Blossom

Sissy is starting to enjoy being in a home environment. She seems more comfortable with the household routines. He enjoyed her first Holiday - Easter. She got a yummy beef strap from the Easter bunny which she enjoyed.
Here she and her foster sister, Chloe enjoy their treat while lounging on dog beds.

She kept looking at me as if to ask if it was really for her.
"Really, this is for me?"
Her cute little personality is really starting to shine through. I have discovered she is a toy collector :)

















Last night for the first time in the almost 2 weeks she has been in foster with me and my pack, she actually felt comfortable enough to "roach." I could not have been happier!














Sissy will make a sweet companion for someone willing to put in the time and patience to build trust with her. She quite endearing.

Settling & Learning

Sissy is settling into home life and learning what it's like to live in a home. She enjoys the company of her foster siblings. In fact she looks to them for guidance, encouragement and understanding of the household routines and rules.



She is learning patience and manners.



And she's learning how comfy dog beds are!



Sissy is still trying to figure out this new world of hers, filled with strange noises, smells, sights and beings. Sometimes she is a little unsure of something, but she looks to me or her foster sibling to gauge our reactions. When she sees we're fine with whatever it was, she relaxes.

Sissy is a very sweet girl who gaines confidence day by day. She has even started picking up toys. It's a joy to watch her blossom with each new day.

It's a Fawn Convention!

CrazyLittleSis (aka Sis or Sissy) went into foster at my house this past Tuesday. She's a cute little thing. She's even smaller than my Chloe!

She's very nervous but very curious at the same time. She's settling in just fine. She's very comfortable around my pack (male greyhound, Blaze, 2 female greyhounds, Cori & Chloe and female lab mix, Rio). In fact, when something concerns or startles her, she watches them to gauge their reaction which helps her settle.

She loves to go out and explore the backyard. She also LOVES my screened in front porch. She was out there napping earlier today.

She and 2 of my greyhounds were out on the porch watching and listening for activity outside. The picture looks like a convention of the "fawns." They look so cute together!

Just like Chloe originally had, Sissy has gravitated to my sweet, Rio. Rio is a calm, relaxed, submissive, balanced and friendly female lab mix. The shyer dogs really seem to enjoy being around her.

Sissy likes to be near me and watches me a lot, but I pretty much ignore her unless she comes up to me for attention. Then I pet her and give her some attention.

With some time and patience, Sissy will end up being a wonderful companion. I do think she will probably bo best in a family with other dogs because she really seems to like to be part of a pack where she can flourish.

CrazyLittleSis is not crazy. She is little and she's so petite, the name Sissy does fit her. She's a little shy, but starts to relax after spending some time with you. She's very interested in exploring. While on a walk, she seems to relish in smelling and checking everything out. This is all new to her so she's wanting to take it all in. She's a darling little girl and will make some a dear companion.
