Why Is Annie Sitting Pretty?

Miss Annie is sitting pretty today. Why could that be?

Look at me, Annie,  sitting pretty! Wanna know why?

That's right! Annie has been adopted and she has already headed home with her retired dad and part time working mom. She will be an only dog and living in Bellingham, WA with her people who think she is perfect in every way! We couldn't be happier for Annie and for her new mom and dad. Lots of belly rubs and walks on the local trail for her. She will be going everywhere they go and THAT is exactly what Annie loves! She has already showed them her snuggling expertise and no doubt will not be looking back. Happy Tails sweet girl. 

Here are a few photos and videos I had left for blog posts. Enjoy!

Annie to Tim, "Hey Timken you wanna play with me?"

Tim tells Annie, "Bring it!"

This play session was the first real nice play Annie and Tim had together. It took about 5 weeks before they really played like this, it is always good to remember that dogs need to have lots of time to cultivate their relationship just like humans do. And of course sometimes dogs will never play. We had no expectations one way or the other so this was a pleasant surprise!

Skip in the chair thinking, "just keep that nonsense over there kids and I will be a happy camper".

These photos look gnarly but you will see in the video they were actually playing very well together.

Notice little Jenny just right in the mix. She doesn't let any of this worry her. She just wants to be part of the action.

And hey what do you know! Skip decided he would go ahead and give Annie a test drive playing, remember Skip is 11 and Annie is a spry 2 1/2 but he shows her some moves anyhow. He and she were rougher in their play which was different for Skip who is usually very gentle in his play. I like how Annie gives the shake (cut off signal) and Skip is like "ok we're done here". Good job! Also again Jenny is right in the middle of everything. Sweet girl.

After the play it was time for Tim and Annie to kick back and relax.

Tim is ready to sleep, I think Annie was ready to rock and roll if only someone would engage with her :)

Annie recently went on an excursion to Edmonds, WA with us. Here she is in her alert stance.

Annie loves to smell all the new smells.

Getting a drink of water from foster dad.

Mmmmm smelling and standing on the dead plant life that washed up on the beach. :)

Edmonds-Kingston ferry in the back ground.

This piece of drift wood got a lot of attention.

Annie also got to go to all The Best Pet Food store in Redmond.

Unlike Timken, Annie had no worries going into a public store and making herself at home.

Annie is so funny, she loves the belly rubs, even from strangers!

Annie and Skip getting treats from the store employee. I am always impressed with the employees at these stores. They always get right down to the dog's level and even Skip, who is not fond of strangers was feeling ok about getting treats too.

I love Annie's tail, a little blur from wagging. Skip is such a good boy sitting patiently. And one last video of Annie and her sit pretty.....
