Supporting Cast and Crew

No major production is complete without supporting cast and crew! In addition to the aforementioned characters we currently have some very important visitors:

Savannah -

Princess Nanna. Worthy of Worship and Ruler of All Things.

Motto: Boys are Stupid. Throw Rocks at Them.

Favorite activity: Squeaking. I squeak when I'm excited and I like toys that squeak.

Pet peeve: Any female dog within sight, sound or smell.

Rumor and Aspen -

The Twins. Nanna's brothers, Stupid Boy 1 and Stupid Boy 2.

Motto: It takes two. It always takes two.

Favorite activity: Gang up on Savannah.

Pet peeve: Squirrels and wet grass.

Benson -

The Cat. Big Kitty (bigger and weighs more than Savannah!)

Motto: Would someone PLEASE control these dogs! Never mind. Let me show you how it's done!

Favorite activity: Traveling throughout the house without ever touching the floor.

Pet peeve: Change. Every time I get everything the way I want it the dogs or the humans screw it up!

Every major production needs crew members and trust me, this bunch, especially the cat, needs staff! If you've been keeping count that's 9 dogs and a cat. Makes me tired just thinking about it.

Aunt Lolly -

Foster Mom. Computer Nerd.
Motto: Will work for dog food.
Favorite activity: Falling asleep in front of the TV.
Pet peeve: The cat dodging between my feet just because he can.

Uncle Jeremy -

The only sane one -- but we're wearing him down!

Motto: If only the Mute button on the remote worked on the dogs!

Favorite activity: Going to work. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Pet peeve: The whole Frisking-the-fosters-before-they-sneak-things-out-the-back-door and chasing-fosters-throughout-the-house-to-get-them-to-the-back-door thing.

The Current Cast of Characters

By popular request (Towanda!) here's an introduction to our current cast of characters:

Honey Bear -
The eternal foster. Defender of all things.
Motto: Bite first ask questions later.
Favorite activity: Car rides.
Pet peeve: Children. No wait . . . bicycles. No wait . . . children on bicycles.
(Originally a stray. Returned to rescue because of biting.)



Fiona -

Sassy Momma.
Motto: Get it while it's hot.
Favorite activity: Cleaning up the yard.
Pet peeve: Leashes. Never learned to use 'em. Don't need 'em. I'll just lie down and let you pick me up!





Ellen -
Little Bit/Squatty Body. Cute as a button and cuddly too.
Motto: Life is scary -- hide under your bed!
Favorite activity: Going to Petsmart for Adoption Day.
Pet peeve: The rope piping in the seams of her bed.

(Fiona and Ellen spent their first years locked up without human contact, no veterinary care, no training -- just churning out puppies. They are now happy, playful and well cared for.)




Noah -
Selective Hearing Specialist. Shameless Thief.
Motto: If it's mine, it's mine. If it's your's, it's mine. If it's not mine, it's mine.
Favorite activity: Sneaking things out the back door.
Pet peeve: Security check at the back door. They're stricter than those people at the airport!
(Noah's owner passed away.)

Andrew -
Baby Faced. Big Talker. Winner of Most Organized Bed award.
Motto: Felix Unger had it right!
Favorite activity: Carry all your toys, one at a time, from your crate to the middle of the living room. Pause and play with each one before going back to get another.
Pet peeve: Wrapping paper. It's slows me down when I get new toys and stuff.

(Andrew is just visiting until his family can care for him again.)

And last but not least . . .
Lucas -
Busy Boy. Too young, too cute, too cuddly.
Motto: Why walk when you can bounce?!?
Favorite activity: Play, play, play. Play some more.
Pet peeve: People just don't understand that they should spend ALL their time petting me!

(Lucas has a new family lined up so he'll be leaving us soon!)

Greetings

Well I've suggested others write a book about our adventures so why not take my own advice? You can thank http://lacasadetowanda.blogspot.com/ for getting me started. She adopted one of my first fosters and helped us develop a small local chapter that is still chugging along even though she moved off to that beautiful place you see more about on her blog.

The picture I've posted is not me but rather my "permanent" foster, Honey Bear. He's great with dogs but not so good with humans so he has become my assistant in caring for the other fosters and he's a great traveling companion.

My goal is to entertain while educating so if you have any questions about Reskies (rescued Eskies) please ask and I will try to answer intelligently.
