Poor Baron

Kali's foster brother Baron was featured on PBRC's Pitter Patter this week..........as you can see everyone around here is extremely abused. Keep in mind, Baron is up for adoption and has been for 8 months !

Kal, the teacher

We have been a safe haven for many of the MO 500s until they can move on to their more permanent landing place. Kal has been friends to them all but the relationship she has with the current stow away is something I am proud of.

Kali has definitely had her ups and downs here; house breaking, separation anxiety, basic house manners etc. With Bug being here I have begun to realize how far our little girl has really come.

Bug has been going through our 2 week shut down since being here. She has been allowed to go at her own pace, hang out in her room and not forced to do anything she didn't feel ready for. Bug is still quite shell shocked from her experiences but has a real want to be part of the family here.

Ever since Bug has come here she has had a real interest in Kali. Their crates share the 'bust dog' room and every time one of them is out they are play bowing and carrying on. Never a snark, never a stink eye, just a genuine want to play. Because of both their back grounds and because we were only days into Bug's stay with us we haven't allowed interaction.

Bug has been here for two weeks now and we thought it was about time to go ahead and allow these girls to have some fun. It was instant zoomies, instant kissy face, instant friends. All of this was obviously closely monitored and will continue to be so.

Since the play time Bug has found it is ok to venture into other parts of the house, has learned to jump on the couch and has learned that it is just OK to be a dog. This whole time I had it all wrong with having Bean show her the ropes, what Bug actually needed was Kal. Another dog from the fighting bust situation just being a dog.

Who would have thought Kal would be a role model !

Fabulous news.........

Kal's sister was transferred to Family Dogs New Life Shelter in Portland Oregon a couple months ago. And it looks like she has found her forever home ! Best of luck to Daphne and the new life she is beginning.

Finger Painting --- Kali Style

Our backyard has been a mud pit since October when we experienced the most rain ever on record in St Louis. Let me tell you, it makes keeping your house clean impossible and house breaking a joy.

Kal has decided to make the best of her muddy playground and is starting a painting business. She isnt even charging and is painting the sliding door for free !

Don't worry if your back door accidentally gets cleaned by someone as she finger paints everyday without you even having to ask.

The other dogs just kinda stare at her wondering why she works so hard on a project that she will see no return on, but Kal is doing it for the love of her art.

But you cant keep a girl back from her talents when she is this cute. You can't be mad at this face !


I think Kal's brother Bozley has decided to pick up a trade himself, snow making. Lets hope that TBoz and Kal do not join forces and continue to find trades to contribute to our household.........Bozley seems a little less proud of his new art as he seems a little worried about what I am going to say. Lets hope they grow tired of their new hobbies........I have enough to clean up already.
