Tasha has her first play date

**Freedom** · 03-15-2009, 04:10 PM

Natasha, or Tasha as we call her, is my foster dog. She is a 4 year old mill rescue, spent the first 4 years of her life in a cage, breeding. She was rescued Jan 8th and arrived here last Monday (not even a week ago). A friend arranged a play date with my dogs, her 2 bichons, 2 other bichons and one tan poodle. I was busy keeping an eye on Tasha, so here are the photos and vid my friend took.

Hi Everyone!
I'm posting this for Sandie (Freedom) as I have the pictures. This was a very special day for Natasha, Sandie's new foster fluff. As a recent puppy mill rescue (at Christmas), of course she will take awhile to learn to be a loved pet. Here I'm documenting her first playdate with other fluffs. Her new friends are: Lucy, Charlie, Teddy, MattieMay, and SassySue. This should convince anyone that adopting a puppy mill rescue is worth the effort!

Tasha: "Where are we, Mummy? I'm scared here!"

Tasha: "Who are all these fluffs, Mummy? I'll just sit by you, okay?" (Sugar is front left)

Tasha: "I think I'll walk around and sniff a few things. Hey, who are you?"

Tasha: "So, I hear your name is Sassy! Will you be my friend?"

Tasha: "Hi, handsome! So your name is Charlie! Wanna be friends?"

Tasha: "So, this is a big yard. Who wants to play tag?"

It's a Fluff Fest!!! How adorable!! How can anybody tell their dogs apart, Sandie? Great pictures. I would love to see that in person. Is it really warm there? It looks like a nice day from what I can see.

We had a lovely weekend, both days were sunny and above 50, perfect for being outdoors and blitzing with friends, lol.

As for telling them apart, most of them have quite different, expressive faces. The 2 puppies I had a trouble with -- Sassy and Lucy. Especially if they were both looking down, sniffing something, lol.

Yup, many of us teared up watching her, lol.

This morning, I got up at 6 for a bathroom break and went in to check on Dad. There was Tasha, up on the bed, snuggled close to him by the pillows. I know she can't get up there on her own, so he picked her up. Not sure what I am going to do re the future, sure is fantastic the way those 2 have bonded.
