HOOCH

I thought I would give you an update on "Hooch," whose new name is Porter. We adopted him at the end of February, so he has been with us about four months now & he is fitting in wonderfully! At first he was obsessed with wanting to chase our cat, which had us a bit worried, but now that he is getting used to her & realizing that she is part of the family - QUEEN of the family, actually - he resists the urge...for the most part! I don't think he had ever seen a cat before, so it was a bit of an adjustment for all of us. We are glad we stuck with him, though, because he is so much fun! His favorite pastime is playing fetch. I think he would literally play until he fell over dead if we would let him! We also discovered the he loves water. When he drinks, he puts his paws in the bowl!. Then he sloshes it out & lays right in the mess! Luckily, he only does this when he's outside. He has better manners indoors! And he is such a love bug. Getting neck & butt rubs are his
favorite thing! Overall, we really love him & we are so glad we brought him into our home. Thank you!

P.S. Here are some pictures of Porter (& our other dog, Tucker).

Note from Metroplex Mutts. It took our Hooch a year to find his forever home. He was adopted by a great family in May and lost his home due to divorce. Then he was in a foster to adopt home and a family member turned out to be allergic to him. The third time is the charm! They have successfully weaned him off of pheoabarbitol for seizures he had in he past and he has not had a single seizure.

Latte

I just wanted to let you know about Latte. We absolutely love her and she has been a great addition to our family. We can't imagine our home without her. She loves being outside to play but is mainly a house dog. Every night she is either playing with her toys with one of us or sitting lovingly beside us. Thank you so much for the opportunity to have her in our family!

Lance's Pool

Update on Lance: Day 2 we realized he's into water. We were strolling around the pool deck and he's of course making fast friends with EVERYONE (and I mean everyone - people stop on their jogs to pet him and say how beautiful he is, everything. It's incredible). Talking with these people about him and he's off the leash sniffing around... I look back and he's high-stepping his way through the shallow wading pool! Of course he didn't want to get out, so I roll up my pants and go in after him... while I'm getting a towel and those people are keeping an eye on him, I come back out and he's back in the water, laying down and putting his head under water, flipping it up and having a grand old time. I have no idea if the building cares, but I don't, so every so often I'll still let him get in there:)

Day 3 we went for a walk and took him out with us to dinner - he wanted everyone to pay attention to him of course, but he was happily sitting and laying down for the most part, being a very good boy.Ê

All in all things are great. He seems to have a definite affection for small dogs, whenever he has a chance to sniff around one he gets very excited, and so do they.

Pictures in the pool to come!

Tillie

What a wonderful addition Tillie is to our home. Our other dog, Molly, has someone to play and hang out with and seems to be adjusting nicely. Tillie loves meal time and tummy rubs. She has her own big bed and sleeps in our bedroom. She enjoys long walks, riding in the backseat of our truck, and chasing after balls. She is truly a wonderful dog and makes us smile.

made from canned dog food & treats. The guest of honor, was of course Delta, and her other guests were Jimmy, Cowboy, Lexi, Cookie and Mr. Jinx The eating of the cake lasted about 30 seconds. Pig out!
We LOVE having Delta in our lives!
