A new home for Penny-Bean

As all the people know, there has been a Squatter in house of self for many a time.  Always was she spending time raising infestations, and cuddling with Sidekick, and coming for walks with.  Was so most ready for she to get out of the house.

Was many a places to try to find a home for Penny.  But was difficult, for Penny is a pitbull.  She so most nice pitbull, like most are.  But still, people who would have been great homes for her were frightened by her looks.

Luckily, along came a family who did not care!  Now Penny has 3 boy 2-legged puppies with to play, and many many space of land to run in, and a cat to ignore.  And a hat to wear for always.

Congratulations, Miss Penny!  Please to be writing... but never coming back!

Edit 8/14/13: A few more pictures from her last day with pack!

 She shows off her silly ears

 She snuggles

 She makes funny faces

She has a nose... but I think all the people already knew this.

Sidekick Note:  Still trying to catch up on the important happenings.  Penny has been happy in her home for about a month now!

Self was right to be nervous.

What has Sidekick done?!  And why?!  Was so nice for to have a mostly empty house.  Only with self and Penny, and Penny and self mostly can just get along.  But then, Sidekick had to add these!

A little black labrablur 

Penny was excited for to have babies again.  She played and played and played.

 And they tried to nurse which was cute but sad

 Names of Cossack and Czar

And then there were three.  Little Russell was found all by his lonesome and only 5 weeks of old.  Other pups were six weeks of old, so the thought was, what is one more!  Little Russell can have some brothers.  And brothers they became.

 

 The most snuggle love with Sister of Sidekick

 Clean, shavings-filled pen!  So most best for ease of cleaning.

 Hallo?

And then there were 6... for labrabundles had siblings, of which were in another foster home.  The cats, they were not fans of the puppies.  Self is neither fans of the puppies, so self does not see why puppies had to come.  But so they did.

Was soon enough, that the labrapups and Russell were old enough for their neuter!  So off they toddled.  But what to do with so most puppies?  Small town and small shelter would have a hard time finding homes in a nice, speedy manner.

A decision was made!  All the puppies were for to go to Colorado to find brand new homes!  And off they went.  Good bye puppies, and good riddance!

Sidekick Note: We had these puppies for the first two and a half weeks in July.  It was so busy, there was no time for an update!  Now, we finally have internet at our house so Vertigo and I are hoping to try and continue with more regular updates... and there are many updates around here to be had!  Regardless, no matter how little we post we never intend to go fully off the grid... we might just have less frequent posts occasionally.

Nervous...

Dear Sidekick,

What is Sidekick doing?  Why for is there a large wood filled pen in the living room?  Taking up all the spaces?  Self is feeling very nervous...

That is all.

Love,
Self

A big visitor

Sidekick comes up to self one morning and says, a big will be visiting today?  Oh no.  A big?  A big what?  Am so most nervous.  Self spends all the morning pacing back and forth.

Will it be a Halo?  The big Great Dane?  Will it be a giraffe?  (Self knows not exactly what a giraffe is, only that it is a big thing)

Then, it arrives.  What?!

This is not a big, but a tiny!!!

Oh.  Is not a big, but a Biggs.  Chihuahua, name of Biggs.  Here is the story of Biggs.

Once upon a time, there is a family that is Friend of Sidekick.  Many year ago, they have a dog who was most best friends with Sister Cookie, before Self was around.  But this dog get old, and have to go to Rainbow Bridge.

Next the Spy Cat, of which belonged to Friend of Sidekick, also went away to Rainbow Bridge.  Friend of Sidekick was so most sad, for both the dog and the evil spy cat were often good company.  But now, Friend of Sidekick live in house with most small yard, and are not home for all the day, and did not feel good about getting another good company pet.

First, was Spy Cat, AKA Deaf Cat, to come along.  When Clarissa needed a new home, Sidekick thought, so most perfect!  Should be giving cat to Friend of Sidekick to foster, and then Friend of Sidekick will fall in love, and Cat and Friend will live happily ever after.

Unfortunately, was not so.  For many reasons.  Firstly, one of Friend of Sidekick not so much fan of Cats (Self thinks, this man so most smart).  But mostly, Spy Cat was too smart and integrated self with Sidekick and now will never leave.  NEVER. *Sigh*

Then, one day, at shelter nearby, was shelter to take 50 dogs from one house.  Was so most awful!  Least of all because the nice dogs who lived at the shelter had to go away to make space for the 50 new dogs.  So 4 came to the local shelter, where Sidekick works.  One of these was this Tiny Dog.  Now, Sidekick often say, Chihuahuas not always most best.  But this dog, he most best.  He silly and not too loud, and not very big!  Sidekick tell Friend of Sidekick, please to be coming to meet this dog!

And the rest, as they say, is his story.  Of course, smart man who hates cats decided to name him Biggs.

 Biggs so most curious of Penny

Sidekick say to Friend of Sidekick, is ok to sometimes leave dog alone many hours!  Sidekick does so to Self!  Is not ideal, but is better than many places.  Is better than shelter.  And sometimes will Sidekick let Biggs come to say hello at house of Self!

Self can see, Biggs is already making self at home.  Self guesses, maybe it will be okay the next day that there is a Biggs visitor.

Self learns a special trick

All the water for all the always!!!

Cattle Dog at Cattle Ranch: the Search for the Missing Cattle

All the while that Sidekick has been away, Evil Stepmummy has taken self to do the most interesting things.  One day she get up and say, "Ok, Cattle Dog!  Is time to go to Cattle Ranch!"  YAY!!!!  Sounds like so the most fun!

 

Got in the car with some kibbles, and some waters, and some crate, and some leash, and drove and drove and drove.  Finally, self and Evil Stepmummy were there!

 

 All Cattle Ranches have the red dirt.

 

 

Ohboyohboyohboy.  Self was so the most excited for to see the cattle, and leaped out of the car.  For to go searching time!  But... where are the cattle?  Self will search under this tree.

 



 Searching... searching...

 

 

Self has found a stick!  The most best stick!  But no cattle... and so the search continues.  Cows, why for to be not hitting self in the head with the most best high?

 



 This stick is so most unique

 

Am searching for the cattle all the day.  Run one way, and run the other way.  Then back the first way, for perhaps the cattles have arrived.  All of this, and with carrying the most unique stick which will help self find the cattles, makes self so most tired.  Is time for a break.

 

 Will find the shadiest spot

Will even sit by crate, for extra comfort

 

 

After the break was time to search and search and search again.  Cattles here?  No.  Cattles here?  No.  Cattles here?  No, but here is an Evil Stepmummy!

 



Evil Stepmummy sits self down.  "Mr. Squiggles," she say.  "Are for to be cattles here no longer!  Is a cattle ranch, but is no cattle!  Have been no cattles for many years now!  Am sorry that most best cattle dog could never meet the cattles."

Evil Stepmummy should have told this to self before.  When can self meet some cattles?
