Lazy Weekends

Hello, blogger dogs. Cheyenne checking in today. Life has been pretty good here at the Stoutino Foster Kennels. Guinness and Shiloh have been teaching me all about life here at the Inn. It's a pretty layed back place, though Shiloh would like it to be more exciting - he would like me to be more bouncy too, but I'm just not that kind of grrrl. I am a very quiet grrrl who likes to stay out of trouble. We go to school on Monday nights when foster mom & dad come home from what they call wrrk. There are lots of doggies at school and we go round in circles a lot, then we practice sit, down, and stay. I get loads of treats for doing these simple things, so I don't mind at all.

They have been taking Shiloh & I to dog parks too. My favorite one is Reservoir Dogs in Phoenixville because it is outside and big with beautiful trees and places to explore. I just adore being outside and I would spend all day outside if I could.

When I first came to this place, I wasn't sure of the rules. Shiloh & Guinness say we don't have very many rules and I have discovered that quickly. I have discovered 2 favorite places. One is the place they call the pomegranate couch. I wasn't sure we were allowed up there so I didn't go there. Then foster mom actually invited me up. I didn't go the first few times, but I finally gave it a try and I really like it. My second favorite place is called a crate. It's very comfortable in there, but Guinness gives me a funny look and sighs a lot when I go in there. Maybe it's her favorite spot too.

I wasn't feeling too good when I first arrived. That terrible shelter I came from made me sick - my ear felt awful. It felt so bad that I didn't mind mom cleaning it out or putting gooey medicine inside my ear. Thank dogness it is all better now, but my ear is still more pink that the other. Pippa, do you like my pink ear? It matches your pink snooter.

We are resting up today. Mom is busy getting ready for the holidays and she's got a big pot of ham & beans on the stove (it smells yummy!) I am resting up for tomorrow - we're going on a play date with all of our husky friends to the indoor park. Guinness is going to come with us for a change, but mom is nervous because Guinness makes a big fuss when out in public. Guinness is mom's special protector and really takes her job very seriously.


Pippadog, this pose is for you. I am not as bendy as you are, but I was inspired by your latest post to give paw bending a try. Foster mom says it's like yoga and I need to practice often. Maybe someday I will be as good as you.


My new favorite thing to do is show off my voice. I am normally very, very quiet. However, just to be sure that they don't forget I am here, once in a while I give a very little "woof" . I get some attention then and the foster mom & dad ask me all sorts of questions. They say I don't speak normal husky, but I just have a sophisticated accent.



Mom's editorial notes: Cheyenne is a very good girl, but does have a little stubborn streak. She would spend all day outside if you let her, just laying in the grass. She is so very well behaved and so very quiet that we have actually forgotten she was in the room with us. We don't think she was allowed to do very much at her old home and she gives us a very surprised look when she's allowed on the couch or when we don't yell at her for her "woof". So, I think we are teaching her to be a more fun doggy (okay, we're spoiling her). She will be great for a family or an older adopter who does not want a high energy husky.
