A Lady Arrives at Golden Pines!

Its been a busy week for me and the dogs!  I don't even know where to start.  I think for this post, I'll start at the end of the week, and just hit the highlights.

Today at Golden Pines, from Lab Rescue, we welcomed Lady!  A stray that has come to us from southern Virginia, about 200 miles from us (321. kilometers).  She's estimated to be about 10 years old.  She's thin, with several bald patches, and a story to tell.

We're still getting to know Lady, and we haven't given her much of a chance to make friends with our group.  There's time for that this weekend, and to try and convince her that the cats are not toys.

**And since we're welcoming another Yellow Lab, below is an update that Lab Rescue sent me about the other Yellow Lab we had that got away....

"Sherlock is now Reggie, that's what Kim was calling him and I decided to keep it. Everything is going so well. Scruffy and Reggie got along right from the start and I think they will be buddies. Reggie has been checked by my Vet with a good report and he has already had a laser treatment and a spin on the water treadmill. I think he's going to fit in just fine. So, the check's in the mail as they say. Thanks for everything!!"

Todd who got his spring-haircut at the "fur-stealers" yesterday and I hope you have a good weekend! I look forward to catching up on your news!  Thanks for stopping by!!

  6. What good news, Kim, for both Reggie and the lovely Lady ! As the owners of two retired, breeding, female yellow Labs, that photo of Lady went straight to our hearts! She's a beauty - but then we're biased !
    My, but Todd does look a handsome chap - how long did he stay so smart?

  20. It's nice to see that Reggie is getting along so well in his new home. We hope Lady gets along well with your crew too. Todd sure does look handsome after his primping at the spa. We bet it wasn't long before he was rolling around to get the nice smells off.

  30. All such happy news! Reggie looks quite content and has made room for Lady to get the care she love she needs. It all works just as it's meant to.

  31. Many years ago our golden lab got on really well with our cat and even helped her with her kittens. So gentle. Later our golden retriever was also gentle with our cats so I am sure Lady will be once she becomes used to them being around.
