After Houston was adopted, I finished tax season in 2017, then bought a new house and moved. In the midst of this, I was offered a new job and started that May 1, 2017 (which just happened to be 2 blocks from the new house I bought - can you believe I walk to work and get to come home every day for lunch and let my pups out?????). Got the plans rolling for getting a fence installed in my new place and was able to take another foster in, Sadie. She has quite the story and is quite a handful but if she didn't come just when I needed her (sharing dogs is hard enough, I couldn't even imagine sharing custody of 2 legged kids).
Sadie at just over a year old.
Okay, fast forward a bit - I had her as a foster, sharing custody of Ringo and Lola, had Bridget with me, was adopted by a local cat that I named Mister - I saw a pic of a puppy from Big Fluffy Dog Rescue on Facebook and knew she was supposed to be with me. Millie came into my life and has been quite the trip so far. That same night I went to pick up Millie, Sadie made note of her displeasure at me leaving me all by herself that she managed to set off the alarm in the house and had the security people calling me while I was trying to get Millie home. Geez.
Her and Sadie hit it off so well, I knew we were all supposed to be together and so I adopted Sadie. The holidays came and went and while Sadie was perfectly fine when Ringo and Lola were over (they all free roamed in the house while I was gone, Millie still gets crated cuz she's a little thief), Sadie missed their presence when they weren't here and out with her. So I started looking and found Buddy through LWR - I loaded up Sadie, Millie, and Ringo (I didn't think Lola would necessarily enjoy this trip) and traveled 6 hours to Tennessee to meet Buddy at his foster mom's house. We got to spend the night with her and her Weims Baron and Willow (and other foster at the time, Velvet). Vicki made my Weims matching coats while we were there:
And so, Buddy was officially a Hoosier now (he's the gray Weim on the right side of Sadie) and traveled back home with us (in my CR-V at the time - it was packed!).
So Buddy came to us at the end of January this year 2018, tax season started (my first in my new place) and that kept me busy up until the last week when a pup came in need and I was able to answer again. Wyatt has to be one of the easiest going Weims I've met AND he couldn't care less about cats (a plus here):
He was pretty overweight when he first came, but he's a big boy anyways. Jim, my ex, watched him for a few days for me while I went to my sisters baby shower and when I got back, he wanted to adopt him. This last picture is Wyatt going to his new furever home with Jim. So now Wyatt gets some one on one time with Jim when Ringo and Lola are with me, and he gets to chill with his new siblings when they're at the farm house. Everyone wins.
Wyatt was gone a bit when another guy came up in need and I picked up Shadow in July of this year (middle Weim in the harness):
Such a sweetie, but similar to Houston, liked cats a little too much and so Bridget and Mister spent a large portion of the summer on the screened in back porch. They weren't super upset about it though - it was pretty nice out there.
A recent pic of Shadow in his new home, living the good life:)
There! We're caught up to Jade today (mostly). Lots of stories in between these pics but you get the jist of it. I just couldn't keep up with the blog with the last 3 I've had but it's still worked out well.
