Kiah

The last couple of weeks developed a surprising trend in our household. All of a sudden a bunch of friends asked me to puppy sit! 3 dogs within about 3 weeks, just out of the blue, non related, all going different places... I should start a business LOL Sure it'd be nice to be in Mexico or Arizona instead, just like the owners, but putting up with poochies is second best :D

This was our first victim, a Blue Heeler named Kiah. Or as we call her Kiah Maria or Kiah Rio or Put That Down! She's a sweetheart with a heart of gold and an addiction to fetch. Hide her toy, she'll search for it for hours. When she can't find it, she'll bring anything else she thinks will work. Books, socks, underwear, rolls of paper towel, cans of hairspray... You name it, Kiah will make it a toy.

After a couple rocky first days with Mystic they sorted their stuff out and became partners in crime, and bed hogging! Weird how two small dogs can take up so much bed space.... She is a bit hard to get photos of since she's constantly on the go. Play here, sniff here, find this, bring it to me, wait for a throw, run around like a crazy hound, play with Mystic. Never any stop with this girl. I did manage to get this shot while telling her to lay down and stay. She's trained very well and listens like a dream most of the time so that was about the only way to get a shot! This is pretty much her "Common, throw it! Throw it!" face.

Enjoy!

Pixel

Now last (but far from least!) of the three models of the Adopt-a-Thon, here....is....Pixel!

Pixel is a wonderful little girl, 3 months old now, who's just searching for love. She loves her cuddles, she loves her chew toys, she loves most treats (Not the ones we had to bait her for photos though!) and I'm positive she'll love you! A more beautiful personality wrapped in a cute little bundle, you won't find. She's a typical, rambunctious puppy but don't let that deter you, she's a complete gem who only wants to please you and have fun while doing it! If this includes jumping for stuff, even better!

Pixel is a mixed breed puppy. By appearance she looks like some sort of Heeler Terrier cross but whatever she is, she's worth it. How can you say no to a face like that? In this photo she's scoping out the snow bank she wishes her leash was just long enough to reach. Playing in the snow seems to be a great past time of hers.

If you're interested in Pixel and wish to learn more or contact AARCS about her, you can find her profile here.

Enjoy!

Bounder

One of the dogs that I had the best connection with at last week's Adopt-a-Thon was Bounder. At first impression she was rather shy and overwhelmed by the entire deal. She was more content doing laps around the pet shop than actually meeting with anyone. But after a couple of hours and a few rounds of bum scratches she was happily trying to sit in my lap! Unfortunately, that's one of the hardest positions to take photos of a dog from!

Once she's sure you aren't somebody to be afraid of she's a loving, sweet and beautiful dog. Well... she's beautiful even when she isn't sure of you, she can't help that, it's just the way she looks! She's a Border Collie cross and gorgeous! In today's photo you can see her amazing brown eyes. Aren't they just screaming "Love me! Adopt me!". Really she just wanted the cheese I was using to get her attention...

If you would like more information on Bounder and maybe would like to offer her the perfect forever home, feel free to contact AARCS. Bounders profile can be found here. But for now, here's those eyes!

Enjoy!
