We were lucky enough to attend the first outdoor rattie meetup of 2013. AND what a fun time for so many ratties! Inigo & Gramercy had to sit this one out due to medical issues. However, there were a number of NR foster dogs showing off their cuteness and a bunch of NR Alum having a blast. If you ever wonder why people love rat terriers here's a slice of why that is....
Our past foster boy Balboa who is now Corwin. He's doing wonderful and his dad has done amazing work with him. Corwin was under socialized and under weight when he came into foster care. Well those days are long behind him. This sweet boy is much more social & looks fantastic. His dad has him at good weight and his coat looks great. He's a lucky boy it was beyond wonderful to see him!
Sweet foster girl Moon - she had a blast and to read more about her check out her foster mom's blog
Little foster girl Zuni on the move! This spitfire is available for adoption and to read more about her check out her foster mom's blog
Foster boy Cody is making huge strides in his foster home! To see more about the great fella check out his foster mom's blog
Shy fella's Corwin and D'light taking in all the dogs & people
Three gentle boys - Corwin, foster boy Hobbs and D'light. Hobbs is a wonderful little boy and he's available for adoption - to read more about Hobbs check out his foster mom's blog
Foster dog Cody in the mix asking "Where's my treat?!"
Here's past foster boy Boushey aka Boo - as you can see he's doing great. Boo is about 7 yrs old and if anyone ever thinks that his age makes him an old fuddy duddy well then they haven't met Boo! And Boushey had a 2 hour walk before coming the meet up. A 7yr old rattie is still a young rattie as you can see...
We didn't foster Tripp but I love the looks and personality of this boy! Tripp is a flyball dog and if you think rattie's are not flyball material well you haven't seen Tripp in action. Tripp is the lead dog in this video (he's brown bi-color). Don't blink or you'll miss him. Little 5 month old foster girl Zuni had trouble keeping up with him!
Here's foster girl Zuni again (she has on the pink bandanna)! Even D'light makes an appearance in this game of chase.
D'light found something Delightful to roll in... This sweet boy has come a long ways and it was fun to see him enjoying himself with so many dogs and people around. This was D'lights second time at a dog park - he did pretty good!
Look at all the boys - That's NR alum Boo, foster boy Cody, NR alum D'light, foster boy Hobbs and NR alum Corwin. A bunch of happy ratties!
D'light asks, "Can we do this again?!"
And look at foster boy Cody getting a gentle stoke on his tail. Pretty great for this touch sensitive boy!
And here was D'light as I wrote this blog post - he was one tired out rattie!
