Well, today is the second day of our lovely new dog Snow living with us! She's a 5yo Romanian rescue, and is terrified of Stella.... Missy isn't interested in her, probably because Snow is giving off strong "leave me alone" vibes and doesn't know how to play much yet. She's been in the UK at a lovely Foster home for 2 months, and is still afraid of everyone and everything, but has recently learned how to wear a harness and collar and go for walks. She'll need lots of tlc, and we need to build her confidence, but for today we're just letting her chill and get used to the sights and sound of the house and garden before we start to take her out anywhere. Any other new pets on Fj? Or old pets with any (p)updates?  |

She's pretty! I remain, sadly, pet free.

Two dogs and a cat! I imagine Stella rules the roost though.
I have fish but they are not easy to photograph or cute in the slightest.

And not 10mins after my smug post, Snow shot past me at the front door and it took us over two hours to find her and then I had to drag her out from under a bramble bush.
That will have spoiled the progress we were making, but shows we were being lulled into a false sense of security as she really doesn't know how to be a pet dog at all.

Oh viv she is wonderful. Thanks for rescuing her.
The escape must have been so scary, it's always my worst nightmare when fostering or dogsitting that I lose the dog somehow.
Since saying good bye to Thomas in September we're dog-less which is an odd space for us. We've recently been approved as fosters for Golden Retrievers coming from the meat markets of China. When they get another plane load out of China though is unknown due to all the virus restrictions. They got 15 out of S. Korea a week ago so there is a bit of hope a flight will be approved soon.

So excited for you Oweena! Goldens are so sweet. They're the best tinaja. I think 10 of our dogs over the years have been Goldens. And because the breeders in the US are for the most part doing a good job there aren't many Goldens in need of rescue in the US, which is why many breed rescues are primarily getting their rescue Goldens from overseas (China, S. Korea, Egypt, and Turkey). |

Oh what a gorgeous doggie, viv! Hope the settling in goes smoothly without any more hitches or escapes.
Sadly after Mollypuss's demise last year, we are catless and will probably remain so.

We need more pet pics. Please share pets. I'm going to fly to see her in a few weeks. This is my niece Dakota. She's about 12. She loves people.  |

Here's Tuli, my 10-month old Finnish Lapphund. She's in full teenage mode these days (and in heat), but she's an awesome pup.  |

Aaaaww I love these, keep them coming! I've been petless for 7 years now and I still feel like I'm missing a pet rather than just a person who doesn't have any pets.
But circumstances say no, so I'll have to settle for admiring yours!
(And viv- she is gorgeous, hopefully she'll settle in soon, poor thing)

If you cross a corgi with any other breed, they look like the other breed, except corgi shaped. It's glorious!

Good luck with Snow!

 on my screen the above picture works, hopefully for all of you as well :-) meet Karel! he featured heavily on my IG stories yesterday so there are more shots of him cuddling there. he's supercurious and really likes people (and stalks me, in particular). very happy that he's now part of our home. |

Rubbish! I suspect we might have the same problem as he does get a bit sneezy with the bunnies. No asthma like with cats though.
