December 3, 2022 – Rocky & Paisley are gone to their forever home…(:

November 15, 2022 – Rocky and Paisley are doing very well.  Another weekend spent at the cottage enjoying the great outdoors and snooze in front of the woodstove when we come inside. Rocky is now coming into my office with his toy in his mouth when he wants a little playtime during the day.  Paisley is content to just watch him chase the toys.  Rocky loves the cooler weather and really enjoyed the snow this morning but Paisley is not a fan! She finds it a bit cold so we dress her up in a little coat so she is warm and comfy on the walks.  Both are getting microchipped this week.

November 2, 2022 – Both Rocky and Paisley are really enjoying the fall season. They are so energetic on their walks and really love running through the leaves and sniffing every pile of leaves they walk by.  Paisley has recovered very well from her spay surgery and is back to her energetic self. Incision is totally healed.  Rocky is down to 29 lbs now.  He came down with a little gastro bug but the antibiotics have kicked in and his bowel movements have returned to normal.  Those cuties are ready to be adopted.

September 26, 2022 – Rocky had 15 teeth removed and also pleased to report his weight has dropped to just under 30lbs. To celebrate Foster Mom bought him a new harness today.. stylin dude!   Still working on their manners during  city walks but we are definitely seeing signs of improvement.  All in all happy puppers!

September 8, 2022 – Rocky didn’t seem to mind that his sister was gone for the day for her dental procedure. His elephant toy keeps him very amused  and he enjoyed having foster mom to himself all day!

August 22, 2022 – Back at the cottage for another week of vacation.
Foster Mom decided it might be best for her to keep them company in the back seat for the long drive to the cottage and they were super travellers! Even napped for a while.
Although they have adapted well to condo life it’s obvious Rocky and Paisley prefer the quiet lifestyle at the cottage.
Fresh air, naps outside, and plenty of exercise chasing the resident chipmunk around the deck
Rocky’s mobility continues to improve…he can now go up a short flight of stairs and will break out in the occasional run if he spots the chipmunk at the bird feeder. Walking distance improving.
Paisley is quite energetic and always excited when it’s time for a walk. Foster mom has taken her out a couple of times by herself and she can easily walk for 2 kilometres.
Seeing more of their personalities now and they have started playing with toys . They need supervision at meal time as Rocky will try to nudge his way into Paisleys bowl if she hasn’t finished. Now know why he’s a little chunky!
Both continue to sleep well through the night and enjoy snuggling up on the sofa with foster mom &dad to watch a movie.
Dental surgeries are booked for September.
All in all they are settling in really well and we are enjoying their company!

July 30 – Rocky and Paisley truly enjoyed their week at the cottage. Highlights included lounging on the deck, nature walks, and the endless entertainment provided by the local chipmunks raiding the bird feeder.  They met some new friends including a furry one…a few barks to introduce themselves but quickly settled down and all enjoyed each others company.

Rocky and Paisley are very social and love a good snuggle. Paisley will jump up on the sofa if invited. Rocky will ask for a lift up as he can’t jump but manages quite well to get down on his own. He needs a lift going up a flight of stairs which should change with weight reduction.  We are starting to see some personality from both. Paisley in true pug fashion likes to follow around her humans while Rocky is a little more autonomous and will nap on his own in a different room.  Paisley likes to mother Rocky. She will lick his ears and on the rare occasion will hump him to show him she’s the boss. Rocky has no problem with it and will muscle her out of the way to be first out the door for a walk.  Both are settling in to a feeding schedule of twice a day. Rocky has already dropped a couple of pounds and has more energy to keep up with Paisley on our walks. We continue to work on social skills during the walks. Both are sleeping well through the night and no accidents.

July 18, 2022 – Rocky came into rescue on July 16. He has been together with her sister Paisley all of his life and is 10.5 years old. Rocky needs to lose about 10lbs……We will get them both vetted the first week of August. They will have blood work and vaccines.  More to come as we get to know this sweet boy.
