Here are some more pictures of Abby and Vanessa, who arrived yesterday afternoon - Abby is ALREADY GONE! She went to her forever home today - a family came and met her yesterday and she was perfect for them! Vanessa is already adopted too!!! Someone met her yesterday and they are picking her up Saturday night or Sunday morning - yay!

Vanessa looks WAY more like a husky/shepherd mix than a lab in person and in these new pictures. She is very, very timid, and in those pictures that I originally had of her, her ears are flattened, which she does when she's afraid. She was terrified when she first got here, but it took all of about 3 minutes for my dogs to make her feel at home - she was prancing around the yard in no time! She's slightly food aggressive (if someone tries to steal from her) but just with other dogs, not people in the least. I think it's just because she is so skinny. Poor thing - she was definitely abused at some point, too - every time my fiance moves his hand near her in any way, she hits the floor in submission, cowering. She does it sometimes with me too, but not nearly as much. She loves both of us, and loves to cuddle, but any sudden movements scare her a bit, and she immediately tucks her tail and cowers in front of you like "please don't hurt me, ok?" She's so damn cute. The guy adopting her will be wonderful for her. Also, it's strange - Vanessa has 6 back toes on each foot. She has TWO dew claws on each back foot - it's so strange looking! They don't seem to bother her at all, but her new owner is going to look into having them removed, because they're definitely awkward, and if they were to get stuck on something it could be really bad.

So, here are the pictures from the last few days!
