New Puppies and Skyler

This week three ten week old puppies arrived at our rescue. We were told that they were put in a box together and thrown out on the side of the street from a moving vehicle. Since we didn't know if they had names, EJ (Border Collie Rescue Manager), Jerry (trainer), and myself named all three of them. Kim, Kate, and Cameron. Kim was the dominant one of the litter and was always beating up on her sister. Kate chewed on everything and hated her crate. Cameron was a very lazy puppy that wanted to sleep and cuddle...he also hated his crate with a fiery passion.

The three puppies were not here long. Kim was adopted within a week, Kate within 2 weeks, and finally little Cameron within 3 weeks (to Josh, one of our volunteers).

This week Skyler was adopted. Before the family came to see her, Skyler needed a bath. This is her side of the story:

"Good morning my fellow border collies. PANDY, stop barking in my ear or I will let out the loudest growl I can. WAIT! What is that noise!?! It is the human...ok ok ok. Please don't touch me... Ok, the crate is opened. Back away from the crate slowly human, named Abby. WAIT! What is that smell!?! The Abbyhuman has something delicious in her hand (hot dog). But how do I get to it??? Ok, I can do this. Slowly...why does she keep backing up??? She tricked me! The door is closed, can't get back in...good hot dog though...but how can I get back inside. Oh well, I guess water sounds pretty good. Mmmm, it's sooo goood. Also, my back feels so good, I love it when the abbyhuman massages me...ahhh. WAIT! She is touching me! She put a leash on me! Where is she taking me?? Oh no, nope! Not the tub again. I'LL KEEP THE FLEAS ALONG WITH MY DIGNITY!!! Oh no! There is the joshhuman. I'm in the air, I'm in the AIR, I'M IN THE AIR, PUT ME DOWN! Ok, I'm in the tub...WAIT! No, I'm in the tub!!!! Not the water. There goes the dignity...Jerks, I do not look like a drowned rat. I look like the dog that wants to murder you in your sleep. What are you putting on me? Oooh, I kinda like the massage though. aaaaand...the water is back. Ok, here comes the towel, almost done. UGH! What is that! Scary noise, so much wind. Maybe if I don't move it will go away. Nope...humans, I'm dry. I no longer am in need of the tornado machine. Thank God...all done... Actually, I feel so much better. Thanks. You humans are the best. I'm gunna go poop and then roll around in it...because I'm weird and like doing that."
