Meet up with Celilo (now Pinkie)...

What an amazing day Dandy and I had - we were up at 4:45 and caught the ferry over to Vashon Island to meet up first with former foster girl Celilo now Pinkie prior to our TTouch class.  Dandy and Pinkie did overlap with each other and it was clear that they knew each other - Pinkie wasn't so sure of me at first but after 30 seconds she all of a sudden remembered and it was full on kissy face!

It's always so heartwarming to see how awesome a dog is doing in their home.  Little Pinkie was in a California kill shelter, not showing well at all and with each day was getting more and more stressed in the shelter.  When we fostered Pinkie she was very nervous with people and really any life experience so, it was clear that she needed a pretty mellow, patient adopter who would help her feel safe while continuing to help her see that the world can be a pretty great place.  Pinkie also had a healthy dose of crate anxiety and wasn't potty trained so, she needed someone who was home a good chunk of time to work with her around these issues.  Pinkie struck the jackpot when her mom applied to adopt her.  Pinkie's mom is a retired librarian and these two gals spend a lot of time together. Seeing Pinkie it was clear that both Pinkie and her mom love each other dearly and Pinkie is doing wonderful in the very short time they have been together.  Pinkie has developed a fan club in town and she frequently gets to stop into the library for treats of chicken and attention for the library staff.  Pinkie also gets tons of walking in - through the town of Vashon, hiking trails, beach walks! 

I'm hoping to go back to Vashon in August or September for another TTouch class so, I will no doubt be seeing Pinkie and her mom again!

I'll be posting over the next couple of days about the TTouch class Dandy and I attended so stay tuned.
