An Update from Finnen fka Romney

Hi Mary Jean, Here is little Finnen all dressed up for Halloween with her black kerchief with pumpkins all over it. Gosh, she is cute.

Anyway, wanted to let you know that she is doing great. Spends hours outside chasing those squirrels. Her brother, Coilean, loves to chase squirrels too, so now he has a partner in crime and they are hilarious to watch. Because they have this shared passion, they have become good buds, sleeping on the same pillow and playing with each other's toys.

Their older brother, Keegan, is pretty grumpy now a days so she leaves him alone. You must have taught her "to sit" because she knew that one straight off, however, I have taught her to High-5 me. It was really easy because she has the tendency to lift one paw anyway.

Winter has not come to Colorado yet which is very strange. Usually by now we have had numerous days of frigid weather and at least several snow falls. The few cold days we have had does not seem to effect Finn at all. Even with her thin hair, she doesn't get cold- she still wants to spend lots of time outside.

I bought her the cutest sweater, to only have it be like 4 inches too short-- stops at the middle of her back. She doesn't mind wearing it though. I will have to break down and get her something better once it gets reallllly cold. Well, I hope you and yours are well and happy.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Romney is (S)Elected!!

My little foster girl Romney ("Spuds") flew out to her new home in Denver last Sunday morning.

She has overcome a lot of adversity in her life - coming from a puppymill - and her trip out of here was no different. With flooded & closed roads to O'Hare and weather restrictions, I knew her new home was meant to be - that is, if she made it there. She did, of course - silly me!

Romney was one of the "Presidential Candidates" and she was one of the last to be adopted. She was very skittish and afraid when she here. She really did improve but she still has a ways to go.

Romney was great with my dogs. Always respecting their space and hierarchy. I think she will be better off not living with her arch-enemy Foster Dad although he does miss her! (Actually, they did start to warm up to each other near the end thanks to turkey hot dogs.)

We miss her terribly. Her whooo hooo bark and her sweet face. I know she will find her happily ever after and become a true cairn princess as it should be.

Thank you Colonel Potter for saving my Spudsie. Hope you like my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjS3r5SrzjI
