Did someone say ‘WALK’? I LOVE WALKS!

I love them! I love them! I love them!!! Oh, man, I love walks SOOOOOO much!!

The only thing I like better than walks is people. People are great. I want to be with them ALLLLLLL the time, so they can walk me and snuggle me and pet me and give me belly rubs and walk me again. And then do all that all over again!

I’m an adventurer at heart, looking for my adventure/snuggle partner. Or maybe partners? I’m not picky about my human companions, I love them all. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met a human I didn’t like! I not so open to animal companions though. I need to have my humans all to myself. But don’t worry, I will love you as much as a pack of puppies! I have the energy of a pack of puppies, too! Being seven doesn’t slow me down at all. I’m in the prime of life!

I don’t mean to be boastful, but I really am a very sweet, loving and outgoing lady with a heart of gold. I really don’t know why the universe hasn’t found my perfect adventure companions yet.

Maybe it’s YOU?

(If you can’t find her, look in her Sterlite box, it’s her favourite! So much so that her foster mom insists the two not be separated.) She likes pretty much everything – cuddling, playing, kids, cats, dogs…. The only thing she doesn’t like is wet food. Can ya blame her? BLECH!

Foster of the Week: Sweet like a Reese Peanut Butter Cup

November 22, 2015 by ·

buttercup

It’s hard out here for a Buttercup pup!

When Zoe’s picked me up from a rural community, I was FULL FULL FULL of porcupine quills. Those guys look like fun from a distance (so much so that I tried to make friends with another one and got quilled again!) but close up…. not so much. OUCH!!

I spent quite a while on my own, but I’m adjusting to this home life thing pretty quickly. I’m not a barker, quiet as a mouse, and I am quite content in the house when my foster mom goes out. I don’t make any trouble at all. And I absolutely LOVE cuddles, I can think of nothing better to do after a long walk with my people. Pretty much my two favourite activities – walks and cuddles. I really just love to love people!!

Other animals however…. verdict is still out on them. Not a fan of cats and I’m choosey about other dogs, I don’t like to share my things at all. A byproduct of my life before Zoe’s. My foster mom has been working with me and my resource guarding though, so maybe in time I will be more accepting of canine friends. Also I must attend mandatory obedience classes. I want to be a balanced and well-mannered dog, with an extra large side Buttercup of lurve!

Foster of the Week: Blackbeard, a Pirate Kitty

November 15, 2015 by ·

Ahoy, matey! I’m Blackbeard, the Pirate Kitty!!

When Zoe’s first picked me up, I was a dirty feral scallywag – hissing and spitting at everyone and everything. That’s the pirate way, you know! But then the people gave me toys and balls and pets and cuddles and my steely pirate heart melted. Those bouncy balls, I tells ya…. no pirate kitty can resist. They call to me like ocean sirens.

My foster mom says my pirate spirit is strong and sometimes my head gets big from my mighty pirate power. ARGH!!! My crew of older foster siblings keep me in check and teach me how to be a proper feline. They’re great playmates, too! I love running and playing with them! I’m a pretty busy guy with lots of energy, but I also love a good cuddle. Especially with my first mate foster sibling. She cleans my head when we cuddle, makes me purrrrrrrrr!

I’m ready to find my forever crew now. I’d do best with older, experienced cats so I can grow into a balanced, well-behaved pirate kitty. I haven’t met any dogs, so I can’t say how I feel about them. I’m young though, so I think I could grow to love a canine crew mate. As long as they don’t chase or bark at me. I’m even up for some little human crew mates. Just be gentle and respect my pirate ways!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of catnip!

Foster of the Week: At the Table with Christy May

November 11, 2015 by ·

Hey there! Christy May here! Just hanging on the table with my foster pop, figuring out what the day has in store for us.

My foster mom tells me I’m not supposed to be on the table, but my foster sister does it and I come from feral beginnings, so what do I know? (Insert my silly signature Christy May smile here.) Plus it really is the best way to get the humans to play with me.

I went to the Edmonton Comic Expo in September and you know what? It wasn’t half bad! My foster mom said I was amazing, “friendly and appropriate.” Not too shabby for a pup from the streets. I’ve come a long way and even though I still have some anxiety, I’m learning positive ways to handle it – like chewing on bones and antlers. Nomnomnomnom!!

I love my foster family with my whole, whole heart, but I think I’m ready for my forever home. (You know, before they get too attached to me.) I’m an energetic girl so a walker or jogger would be a match made in heaven. And I’ll need help and patience transitioning to a new home, but I am positive we will grow into a solid relationship. As long as you give me lots of treats. Which of course you will, because look at my face.
