Big news!

This isn’t news to most of you who follow me on Twitter or Instagram but I’ve been MIA for a pretty good (exhausting) reason…

Meet Kai and Ripley!

Kai is 6 months old/male – very chill and sweet and also very much like my Fonzi. Ripley is 4 months old/female and named after Ripley from Alien and is….WILD lol

We lost Fonzi several months ago and it’s been horrible without him. In general, and especially with the lock down. Being home in all this quiet was very lonely and depressing. I am not meant to live my life without a dog.

I had tried to foster or look for dogs in need a of a home but the shelters were empty out here.

The woman I got my other shelties (she also does rescue) from was telling me about a litter she had that had parvo (a very serious disease that mostly affects puppies. Ripley was from that litter but never got very sick. One puppy died and two others are still in recovery. They can shed the virus for up to 6 weeks though even if they aren’t sick so Ripley was isolated alone in a pen for over a month. She’s not housebroken or socialized except for knowing one person and is a bit of a hot mess lol

Kai, was not from her litter but didn’t have all his shots at the time, so also had to be isolated for a few weeks until he got the all clear. He’s a bit better than her because he had been going out and meeting people and being exposed to things before this happened. Unfortunately, he’s lost a little ground with socializing and housebreaking because of it.

I, in my infinite wisdom, decided…I’ll take them BOTH because no one wanted to take on the task of super shy/scared puppies. What else do I have to do during a pandemic anyway?? lol

So, we’ve had our hands full this past week. They are awesome dogs with great personalities and I think they will come around over time with some work.

I read a lot of great books in the week before they came but I’ve been too exhausted to post anything but I’ll try to get back on track next week.
