Introducing Katniss and Peeta, aka the Chicago fosters (note the name change!)

[Marie and Hoka]

Everything moving smoothly for my 2 foster dogs, who we have temporarily named Katniss and Peeta.

They are extremely sweet.  They both let me brush them, trim their faces a little them and cut out mats by ears.  Both eating and drinking, although not very food driven at all at this point.  Katniss is for sure house-broken.  Peeta had one small "accident"/marking episode.  No aggression at all to our dogs over the gates. Katniss choose to sleep in the crate with door open.  Peeta going in crate for meals, but needs training to stay in longer.  My husband and I each spent half the night downstairs with them to keep an eye.

Our set-up is working great, with everyone having their own space.  It works well that our dogs do not ever go in the basement anyway, so it is not their territory.

Thanks for all the moral support!!!

Marie, you are doing such a great job! They are just beautiful, and I love their names.

Marie, just want to say what a great set up and wonderful job you and your DH are doing with these two love bugs.  I see a tail wagging!  WTG!

Marie I hope you give yourself a huge pat on the back for what you're doing for Salt and Peppa that's a lot of work to take on. Glad things are going well these two are so adorable!

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

Wonderful update!  Thanks for making them feel loved and at home! Names are great for these two cuties, too! 

[Laurie, Wally & Charlotte]

What a generous heart you have to open your home to this cute and innocent pair. Their names are perfect, and they look very comfortable in their new basement abode. You can see the gratitude in their faces.

Marie, you rock!

[Deborah Brown]

I'm so glad to see that they are doing well and in foster care.  Thanks for sharing the pictures and good luck!

Love the new names!!

[Marie and Hoka]

LOL, I changed the names back to my original idea.  It is the first thing that jumped in my head.  With her clam demeanor, dark hair and mature manners… She is Katniss.  He is light haired, sweet, follows her like a puppy-dog, … he must be Peeta.  They battled the evil Chicago "Snow"  this winter and came out alive together.  :)  I f you can tell, I am a total nerd.  At least I didn't give them Doctor Who names!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

LOL, those are good names too. I doubt the doodles care either way. :)
