Lots of rattie's!

Bésoleil, K and I attended a Seattle Rat Terrier meet up and can you say rat terrier fun!  There were well over 30 ratties in attendance and a load of NR alumni which is always tons of fun.  Our former foster dogs: Reynvann (now Rain) and Boushey aka Boo were there. Both boys are doing rat-tastic and it was grat seeing so many NR alumni in attendance.
 
Bésoleil did great and she really enjoyed being held by Reynvann's human sisters who are very dog savvy.  K had a bit of a tough time.  She was good with the dogs but, all those people stressed her out. It's always a challenge to assess how much is too much for a dog but, I felt K was doing ok as long as I made sure to ask people not to touch her. This I know was hard for folks given how cute she is.  I appreciate all the people being respectful of what I asked and for giving K the space she needed.
 
  K did get to meet a "special" couple and their rattie Bogart for the 3rd time - stay tuned to hear about wonderful news for sweet K.

K does well with gentle, calm people and that's Boushey's mom!


It's Reynvann now Rain!  He had a lot of fun with so many ratties and people to greet.

Below watch Bésoleil and Reynvann- she gave this fun loving boy a run for his money!



Here's a quick video - this was about 10 minutes into the meet up - many more ratties appeared as the time passed!
