Rosie, Mocha, Benji, and Junie B.

I guess I'm still behind!  It was awfully nice out this weekend, so I was out and about.  Writing a blog was the furthest thing from my mind.  I have some great update pictures for Shelby (renamed Stella) to post sometime.  And I also want to post some videos of the dogs that came in on the transport on Saturday.  I just took some short videos while I walked them.  I think both of those will be separate posts from this one, because they could all get a bit long with all the pictures and videos I have!
We had a long day of running around outside and chasing laser pointers!  Early bedtime tonight!
Rosie.  My dear Rosie.  She is still my little doll.  She is getting so good at potty outside.  Of course, it probably helps that it's been nice enough to leave the door open for her.  But in the evenings when it's cooled down and I've had the door shut, she's still not having any accidents.  She is starting to be a little obnoxious toward the smaller dogs.  She likes to play with them the way she plays with Benji, and they don't like it.  She's pretty good about stopping when I tell her to though.
I really wanted a pictures of all the dogs standing up there together looking out the window, but I'm not fast enough.  Here's Rosie peering outside on a nice day.
Mocha has become an escape artist.  All the snow melted and revealed holes under my fence.  He found them.  He's luckily not a runner.  He just wanders around exploring until I can get around the fence to get him.  He will come back when I call him, and once I get to him he rolls over on his back like "I'm a good boy mommy, see!"  His potty habits have also improved with the weather.  I haven't had his belly band on in a few days, and there haven't been any accidents. 
Here's Mocha, doing his best to peer outside on a nice day.
Benji is my fun child.  I recently discovered that he LOVES to chase a laser pointer.  Rosie and Mocha like to chase him while he chases the laser, and it's so funny to watch how he completely ignores them.  He needs to get that dot, and he will go over, under, or through anyone standing in his way.  I need to get a video of this.  Funniest part of my afternoons lately.  Benji also has excellent potty habits, and he is also belly band free for the last couple days!

Junie B is...dare I say it...the perfect dog.  She's affectionate, but not clingy.  She has great potty manners, and except for the expected breaking in period she's not had any accidents in the house.  She does not bark...ever.  She's been with me for 4 days now, and I still don't know what her voice sounds like.  She gets along with all the dogs.  She plays with them all in their styles.  She gets along with new people.  She's not scared or aggressive toward kids.  She willingly goes into a crate at night.  She doesn't always go into her crate, but always a crate.  She doesn't chew on things she shouldn't.  She doesn't beg for food.  She loves getting her hair brushed.  She doesn't argue when I have to give her medicine.  And she's adorable.  How many more wonderful things do I have to say about this dog before someone adopts her!?
