Introducing the doodle sisters...

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

Life has been a bit hectic and I have been overly long in posting. The house is full of crazy playing doodles (even Lacey is joining in on the fun). A couple of weeks ago DRC, Inc contacted me to see if I could foster a couple of girls who were being rehomed due to a death in their family. How could I say no? These girls were tightly bonded to their late dad and were a bit dazed and sad from all the sudden changes in their lives. DRC, inc. contacted me on Wed. 10/19 and on 10/21, Lina & Jonathan some wonderful DRC volunteers drove from the Florida panhandle to our front door with Ginger & Lexie (about a 7 hour drive one way). Ginger & Lexie had been with Lina & Jonathan for about a week and Lexie had already attached herself to Jonathon.

The 2 footers stood and chatted as the 4 footer (except Lacey) got to know one another. Even 5 month kitty Tessa came to meet & greet our new house guest (and let them know in no uncertain terms that G & L were lower in the pack than her). Finally it was time for Lina & Jonathan to say good-bye to start their trip back to Florida. Good thing I had a box of tissues close by as there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when they left.

Lexie sat looking through the glass panel of our front for 2 days. Every now and then she would give a small, forlorn howl as if asking “what is going on and where are my people?” Ginger on the other hand was more resilient; expressing interest in the house, fenced yard and all the 4 footers.

It took Lexie about 4 days to settle in and feel comfortable. She and Harlow have a constant game of tag going on. Ginger and Lacey play much more quietly together in the house, but Ginger is just as rough and tumbling playing in the yard with Lexie and Harlow.

The doodle sisters are house trained and are solid on their Sit, Down, Stay and Come commands. I am embarrassed to say they listen to me better than my own pack.

It is a bit hard to pick out which girl is which, but Ginger has a small white mismark in the shape of a heart on her chest.  Lexie has a bit curlier "mane".

Like all black doods a picture never does them justice.  They are 2 1/2 years old and each weighs 65 pounds of pure love and kisses.

Wow Nina-You are a great person for doing this, they are very sweet looking. That must have been a tough 4 days. Hope all goes well in finding them a home together.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

They are beautiful - thank you Nina!  Are you and the DRC going to try to place them together???

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Hope these girls find their forever home soon. In the meantime, thank heavens for generous, loving foster moms like you!

[Debbie and Thomas]

How sad that their daddy passed away.  I know that Thomas would be devastated as Lexie seems to be.  I really hope that the DRC will try to place them together in the same home.  You are an incredible woman to help the girls...which I was closer to help.

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

Reading their story made me so sad.  Nina, your home really is a refuge in a storm.  Thank you for taking them in.  I am so glad to hear that Lacey was playing too.  You are the best.

[Elizabeth & *Kosci*.]

Thanks for having a welcoming heart to give abundant love and to help the girls adjust to their new life.

[Donna K & Quincy]

A sad story but lucky girls to have found themselves with you!
