Double arrival: Salish and Hunter are home

We had a couple arrivals this week so this has been a great weekend for fur and family.

Salish discovered a great antler to chew on
Salish Salish, our newest foster girl arrived late Friday night and she has immediately stolen my heart with her big dog feel, beautiful athleticism, and her all around easy going, loving temperament.  Langley immediately loved her and his nervous play stage was over within a couple of hours which was a record for him.

Couch wrestling with Apple


Apple, in her completely fearless way, immediately started up a wrestling match, oblivious that at 7 pounds, she was a bit outmatched by 25 pound Salish.  No problem, though. They kicked back on the couch for a lounging wrestling match.

We're very happy to have Salish joining us. She had to wait an extra couple weeks to come up here from her temp foster home but it meant being able to save Apple, who was about to be euthanized, so it was worth it. Now that she's here, we can't get enough of her.

Langley could barely contain himself when he saw Hunter
The second arrival was our son Hunter, arriving home from University of New Mexico. While all of us, dogs included, were very excited to have Hunter back with us for his semester break, Langley was the most excited of all.  Langley absolutely adores Hunter and each week when we Skype with him, Langley will cry until he gets to come and sit in our lap and watch the computer. It starts as soon as he hears Hunter's voice.  They took a nice long walk together last night and Langley was in heaven.
 

All the dogs came to join in the greeting
