Puppy uppers and doggie downers

Back to Bide A Wee we went today - our first time solo. We brought out Sprite - she is a cocker spaniel who epitomizes the word "spunky." Sweet as can be, she never stops wagging her tail, even while she walks. We wanted to take her into the pen and let the leash off, but it was occupied (volunteers are not allowed to let their dogs mingle with other dogs - it's a safety thing). We had a nice walk and then brought her back. Next we took out Cleo. Talk about the difference between night and day. Poor Cleo is so timid that she didn't even want to walk. She had to be bribed with treats just to get her to take some steps. Eventually, we made it all the way out and I was pretty proud of us that we did. It seems she was abused before finding her way to Bide A Wee and therefore, she's afraid of her own shadow. We did a good thing today. On the way out we saw a huge litter of puppies, but alas, the hubby had to go to work so we couldn't stay. "That's ok, we'll see them next week, he said." "Yea, right - they'll be adopted by the time we get back," I told him. That's ok though, isn't that what's it's all about? Sorry, no pictures today, but if you or anyone you know is interested in learning more about pet adoption or Bide A Wee - check it out: www.bideawee.org

P.S. - Went shopping last night with the hubby - came home with lots of pink things on teeny hangers............OMG so much fun!!
