A Tale of Two Doggies...or Four

A quick update to those of you who know that the Krebs Kennel has gotten delightfully out of hand.

My first-ever foster, Cyrano of the Famous Lovers, was an absolute doll. As I told my mentor, if he had been my third or fourth foster, I might have known not to ever let him go. But I was new and idealistic and I did...however his adoptive home did not work out. Happily Col. Potter allowed me to bring him back to Kansas and he is now Mulligan, my "do-over" dog.

It quickly became clear that, at age 3, Mulligan has far more energy and orneriness than my 11-year old pair -- Bogey (CPs Brigand) and Pearl (a rescue Westie). I set out to find a pal for the new boy and Col. Potter graciously allowed me to adopt "Amazing Grace" or Gracie!

Little 3-year old Gracie has had quite a lot of turmoil in her life and was a bit spooked when we shuffled her again. But she has bonded like glue to Mulligan and has special relationships with each of the oldsters. It's all helping her to sublimate her timidity and enhance her assertiveness!

So now we're headed into the winter months with a houseful of furry friends. We couldn't be happier -- THANK YOU, Col. Potter!!!

Cyrano Finds Furever Love

Famous Lover Cyrano (whose new name has yet to be determined) met his true love tonight -- a little 12-pound strawberry blonde Cairn named Tink (CP's Trinket).  Tink was adopted by Sandi and Bill last fall, and they wanted to find her a suitable playmate.

What a match!  Forever mom Sandi drove to Kansas with her sister Patti (because husband Bill is traveling on business) to meet the little guy.  The rendezvous took place on the dog-walking lawn of a local motel and, after introductions, moved inside the motel room.  Within minutes the two were play bowing, chasing and wrestling with one another.  There are NO PICS because they were running and tumbling around so fast we couldn't catch them on camera!

Forever mom Sandi has promised pics as the happy couple get settled in over the next week or so, and I will share them with CRM.  All dogs and people involved are all happily exhausted...but this match seems made in heaven.  Thank you Deborah C for finding the perfect home!
