Thunder is adjusting very well and getting more comfortable by the day ! Sometimes he gets the zoomies and he sprints down the hallway and around our dining room table , and man can he cut a corner ! I take him to my parents house and he ’ s getting along pretty well with the 4 senior dogs living there as well ! Jeff and I are very happy with Thunder and we love him so much !

Ozzy is doing amazing at our home ! He was a bit hesitant for the first 15 minutes or so then wanted to start playing with our other dog Phoebe ! Trying to keep him in slow mode while he is recovering from his surgery is proving to be a challenge ! He is a people dog for sure , he loves to be around people myself , Scott , the kids loves to sit right by us !
Thank you so much for checking in . Inkblot is doing great and seems to be adjusting well . Everyone loves her and she is so sweet . Thank you for all of your help !
Hi everyone ! It ’ s me , Nashville ! Sorry I haven ’ t written sooner , but I ’ ve been busy packing my dinner dishes and making sure my litter box is in just the right place and organizing my toys and my new home ! My mom feeds the birds so my brother Leonard and I get to watch the birds and squirrels while sitting in front of a big patio door ! And get this – my house has Butt warmers ! They ’ re nice metal grates on the floor that you can lay on and it blows hot air on you ! And they ’ re in all the rooms ! A very Merry Kittymas to everyone at WSHS !
