Eli: New pics and tricks

Hi, it's Eli.

Just wanted to update my fans on some of my newest tricks!














First, there's this one where I lean my head back and I turn into a bat:

• Hmm....what else can I do....
  -Go around between my crate and the wall to hide toys for myself to find later.
  -Stick my head into the shower for a little drink (or the toilet, whichever seems yummier at the time).
  -Chew on an antler WHILE my foster brother, Scout holds onto it for me.
  
  -I have also started following my foster mom around the house and sitting, wagging my tail hard and staring up at her for pets. I really like snuggling my head next to a person's head. Or I start falling asleep if the person pets/holds my head.

Like this:
(sorry about the lighting, we're in my favorite spot, the bathroom)

Yes, some have said that I have mellowed a bunch since my 'boy' operation, and since settling into my foster home. I'm a very sensitive soul. And even though I'm a puppy, if you give me a soft place to lay and a chewy, I'm good for awhile. I love every person I meet, I don't bark at people and I like to play, follow my person around and snuggle. I also am learning to like car riding!

I think those are some really good tricks, don't you?


Really people, how can you resist a face like this?

Love, Eli the giant puppy with the soft soul

Snow storm!!

Hi I'm Peat!
I'm going to be available for adoption real soon.  I just wanted to show you how much fun I'm having in this great snow storm we just got!!  And, my foster mom says we're going to get EVEN MORE SNOW tomorrow!!!
WOOF!

I'm one of the smartest puppies I know!

Hi, it's Scout! My foster mom had another snowday off from school, so I got to try eating my breakfast out of this orange ball for the first time. I had to use my nose, my paws and my problem solving skills to get the kibble instead of just chowing it out of a bowl. Watch me!

I needed a nap after all that thinking! Are you looking for a smart, fun, athletic puppy? If so, that's me! -Scout

Rollin' Roosevelt

Roosevelt Gets His Wheels!

Today Roosevelt got his cart!!  We would like to say a huge THANK YOU!!! to the anonymous donor who called and paid for his cart.  Your generosity is overwhelming.  Thank you.


A front wheel cart is a greater adjustment for a dog than a rear wheel cart, but Roosevelt really did awesome!  He's a little afraid of the cart when he has to be put into it, but this will shortly pass, as he understands the freedom it brings him.  He will soon learn how to relax into the cart and allow it to support him while he walks along.He's already had another session in the cart just now, and he did even better.  We'll be sure and put updates as he figures it out.


Thanks to everyone for their support!  Here's the video:



ps - Roosevelt was supposed to have a consult with an orthopedic surgeon this week to see if anything can be done to help his left leg, but the snowstorm interfered, so we will be rescheduling that.

Cricket Speaks

Hey there! My name is Cricket! OK, so I'm not a full Border Collie but my mother is :-)

We used to live on a farm and had lots of fun chasing the animals. It turns out they didn't like that. Who knew??? Anyway, that's why we ended up in a shelter. It was very scary there. The people were very nice to us but we just couldn't help being so very afraid.

Then the NEBCR people came to see us. One of them took my mother home to live with her forever and ever. I have to wait in a foster home for my forever family to come along. But that's OK as long as it doesn't take too long. Oh yeah, in case you are wondering, I am eleven months old and weigh twenty-two pounds.
