    Please Welcome Riley to her new home!

    Riley has joined our family!

    She is a 6 year old poochon, or bichon poo - a bichon miniature poodle cross. I am her THIRD guardian THIS YEAR. She is never going to have to adapt to a new home again. She has the slim poodle body, and makes my bichons look chunky ha haaa.

    We started out in the back yard, let everyone meet her. That is Willy behind her.


    That's Willy (left) and Lacey up on the bench. We'd been out for a bit, so all the initial butt sniffing was over with.






    I think she has sniffed every INCH of the back yard!




    Tasha is the one behind Riley.


    More photos to come!

    Willy and Lacey






    And Riley




    I took Riley ONLY inside so she could check out the house, find her way around, then we came out again. It was after that Tasha decided she needed to sit inside and guard the door.

    Stand by, a few more pics to come!

    I was told that, if there is a man in the house, Riley will leave me for him. TRUE!! She loves sitting with Dad.








    Look at that sleek poodle body!


    She has not been spayed and needs a dental. She has TONS of tartar and plaque, poor girl. She has lost all her front teeth, top and bottom, between her K9's. She has a vet appt for Monday to start the ball rolling to get her in to shape. No medical records, so I will at least have to get her the rabies shot.

    I love that someone dolled her up with red bows to make her look her best. But thankfully, now that she'll be getting dental and veterinary care, she'll be able to feel better, too! She certainly does favor the poodle side of her gene pool - she's just a smidge long and lower than a mini poodle would be!

    Riley is a cutie. I like her little red bows. She does look a little on the thin side. I wonder why she was bounced around before
    you took her in. I hope she gets all settled in once she get caught up with the medical issues.

    Well, that was a nice surprise! Hello there Riley! And welcome home!

    With that slim body and long legs, is she going to be joining Willy as an agility dog?

    The bows are history, lol. We took a walk this evening (I wanted to get her tired so she'll sleep tonight). Soon after we left the house, I realized she'd lost one. The other one went in my pocket. There been a grumble here and there, nothing big. She tried to put her nose to Lacey's nose while Lacey was sleeping on the sofa - that's a no no, lol. Lacey didn't even open her eyes, just grumbled, and Riley backed off. Little stuff like that. So basically, yes, they are all getting along!

    Congratulations to both of you. She couldn't have a better home and you have another fluffy butt to love. It's a win-win situation.

    Sandie, she is adorable. Why ever would she need 3 guardians in one year!

    Riley, you have found your forever home. Soon you will be feeling much better. I hope to hear about your exploits with the fluffies and the furries!
