Meet Rosie

Meet Rosie.{UPDATE: Rosie went home today (3-15-06) with a great family!! Congrats little Rosie!}



We don't know much about this playful pup, other than she was a stray in the Hansville area. She is about a year old and my is she a darling! She hopped and crawled from various soft things in the studio to the backdrop. She only gave me about 5 seconds of smiles at a time because there was just so much to see and sniff! She is absolutely joyful and sweet. She has very kind eyes and a pitbull body of solid muscle.



She did love to be loved and as long as I kept petting her, she layed her head on the arm rest and soaked in the attention. Other than that she was on the go! It seems that perhaps she hasn't had the best experiences walking on a leash, but most of the time it's not an issue. She just needs someone to love and adore her and definitely get her a very soft comfy bed (because she couldn't get enough of olivia's!)

Meet Daisy Mae

Meet Daisy Mae.{UPDATE: Daisy Mae went home with her new family today, 3-7-06}



My first glimpse of Daisy Mae was upside down and sideways between a chair and a piano bench. She had immediately discovered the most concealed and private corner of the studio, and wedged herself between the carpet and the underside of a "coca-cola" wagon. She didn't seem scared or skiddish, I just got the impression that she liked to be cuddled in tight spaces. When I started talking to her, and removed the little toy wagon, she looked up at me as if to say, "well now how will we play hide-n-seek"



Once in the spotlight, Daisy Mae loosened up... Curling into the nest of silk and fleece. Her constant curious glances towards the windows and doors lessened, and her eyelids drooped. Soon she was fast asleep, purring away.



Poor little Daisy was displaced from her Port Orchard home because newborn baby took her place. I am told that she is about 5 yrs old, spayed, litter-box trained and from what I can tell, she is an absolute angel. Daisy is a bit shy at first, but warms right up. She is also a bit uncertain of loud noises (especially the vacuum) and she's not too keen on baths. She very much enjoys catnip, fake mice, and watching out the window, and would be the perfect kitty for someone with older children, other cats, and/or no dogs.

Meet Clover

Meet Clover. {UPDATE: Clover was adopted over the Feb. 11th weekend~ YAY!}

When Clover arrived at the studio, Jeff immediately informed me that he was a bit shy. Indeed, Clover wasn't quite sure what to make of me, or the sights and sounds of the studio. He paced a bit back and forth between Jeff and I with an occasional lick on my hand, or perking up of his ears as his attention turned to the sounds outside.



When we coaxed him onto the backdrop (with the help of Olivia's very comfy bed) he seemed to relax a little, but still his attention shifted often, and didn't seem to be affected by treats, tennis balls, or squeakers.



After a half an hour or so, Clover warmed up and seemed to accept his fate as "model for a day" he still paced a bit between Jeff and myself and the door and the bed, but eventually he seemed at ease, curled up on the velvet under the warmth of his spotlights.



Clover is a very loving and affectionate young male. He is a Husky/Malamute mix, and as you can see has striking eyes, one blue and one brown. At his previous home he was an outdoor dog who needed a securely fenced yard. He can sit on command and loved being a part of the family. It is recommended that his new home not have cats or children under 6, and that his new family take him to professional training to learn all the things a good boy knows. Clover's last owner did not have time to take care of him anymore, but it seems that some good exercise, proper socialization and TLC will do him well ~ Clover is a good dog who just needs someone to take good care of him, so that he can return the favor.
