Bonnie is resting comfortably

Bonnie wants squirrels. This morning she was outside and my husband was out doing stuff and he said she jumped about 6 ft. trying to climb the tree to get the squirrel. She scraped her feet up and came down on wiped out on her back leg, she came in limping. I wiped off her feet and called Dr. Carol and then headed out to the office. When I picked her up in the afternoon she had stitches on the inside of her leg, I hadn't even noticed the wound. She is still groggy from the anesthesia and is also on rimidyl and antibiotics. Aside from that she is a very happy girl. My husband wakes me up about 2 hours after he gets up and she is always excited to see me. She crates well. She eats good but takes her time, she's not overly food motivated. She is playful and tries to play with my Maggie like her sister Minsky does but she gets overly excited and starts barking instead of playing. And she really, really, really wants to be a lap dog. It's almost impossible to sit on the floor and do anything because she will stand right in front of me.

And then there were two...

We got Minsky on Thursday and brought her home to be with her sister. Since I can't get into Minsky's blog I will tell you about both of them here. Minsky is taller and lighter, and Bonnie is slightly smaller and much darker. They are the most playful greys I have ever seen. Both of them almost right away picked up stuffies and started tossing and shaking and bouncing. Bonnie mostly sleeps on a bed in the living room while Minsky tends to spend more time in her crate in the other room, but sometimes they switch and sometimes both are either in one room or the other. Since I am not working I crate them at night so they have crate time and they are really great in the crates. They are doing great with Maggie and do a little playing with her too. We are working on names and NO. Minsky is also a collector and the first day took almost all the toys into the crates.

First Day

I was supposed to pick up Bonnie with her sister Minsky but poor Minsky had some post-surgical complications so only Bonnie came home. She's a happy girl and pretty inquisitive. She's also started playing with the toys right away. I fed her in the crate and she went right in and actually layed down and relaxed after eating so I thought everything would be great but when I tried crating her at bedtime she started crying. 2 hours later we went to the living room where I slept on the couch and she went to her bed. She's had 2 accidents in the house, one because coffee was made before she was let out and then a poopy one in her crate when i had to go out, but other than that she actually does go to the door. During the day she seems to be OK in the crate and i'm hoping that once we get her sister that the crate won't be any sort of issue. She doesnt know her name yet but we are working on that. She thinks that anything in reach of her mouth is there for her. Besides the toys she had picked up a ball of yarn and snitched some papers out of a tote bag. She is much darker than she looks in the pictures. I will try and get some shots of her soon. She also really seems to like my Maggie. Most of the other fosters barely acknowledged her but I think Bonnie is trying to interact.
