This cute girl is Sandi.  She is about 7 weeks old. Sandy is a Golden mix. She came from a litter of 4. At her vet check up Sandy weighed in at 7 lb. 1 1/2 oz. She is very playful and loves wrestling around with her brothers and sisters. Sandy is fascinated by our Love Bird. When he sings, she runs to his cage and sits and stares at him..She is full of energy and is doing great.
 
Sandy gives lots of little puppy kisses. She loves attention and would be a great addition to any family that can give that to her.

I finally got my camera back from up north. Here are a few camping pictures. You can see Sandy relaxing in the hammock, sleeping on her pillow in her chair, chewing on a log, and getting cuddled by foster grandpa. Sandy is getting bigger every day and she has developed such a personality! She continues to love dogs and people, as well as torture my cats :) In the last picture, she is taking a snooze on my flip flops after we were outside working for 4 hours. She likes to help in the garden, so she got pretty tuckered out. The one thing I need to mention is that Sandy has a female issue 'down there'. This should correct itself over time, with maturity. She is currently on some antibiotics twice a day for two weeks. How the vet explains it is like this: The urinary tract is normally like a slide. Sandy's urinary tract isn't quite as straight as it should be. Because of that, urine will sit in one spot and cause an infection. She starts acting like she has a urinary tract infection, which is basically what it is. At its worst, she was having to go outside to go potty quite often, just thinking she had to go. This might cause her to be on antibiotics off and on until it corrects itself. This is fairly common, according to the vet, and occurs in about 20% of puppies and isn't anything to worry about, just need to keep an eye on her for signs of discomfort while off her medication. She takes her medication like a champ though :)

Sandy is doing great! What a great pupper! She has gotten over her fear of the cats and for awhile was barking a lot at them. She isn't barking at them as much as she is trying to play with them, which they do not appreciate!! They do not have claws so can only verbally tell her so, which she either ignores or doesn't understand :) She continues to meet lots of people and other dogs and does great! We are working on house training, and of course since she is so young yet, has a way to go. But she will go potty immediately upon taking her out, so that is great. For the past couple nights she has held it for 7 hours. She may have been not ready to go out but I decided it was time so we didnt have an accident :)

My resident dogs are starting to play with her more and she just loves loves loves playing! She loves to follow the big dogs around outside, except when they do their crazy chasing game... she must know she can not keep up or thinks they might trample her, which they definitely could, so she comes stands by foster mom for protection. When she first met my dogs, seems like she thought one was her momma, as she kept going looking for milk, which my dogs were not happy about... We took a ride in the jeep this week and she did great! She was going to be held by my son but she preferred to take off into the back and explore. She was on her back legs looking out windows and was not afraid or whiney in the least. I rolled the windows down a little so she could sniff the outside air like all GRs love to do! She has also been exploring the whole house, so at times we do baby gate her upstairs with us so we can keep an eye on her. She has snuck down there a couple times then we find little 'surprises' or she finds the cat food. She is small enough to make it through the kitty door where the litter and food is kept.

Everyone around here has fallen in love with Sandy... even a few tears shed by some 7 year olds that were told they can not take her home :( Sandy is free to stay here as long as it takes to find her the perfect forever home. She does not respond to her name and I have a hard time calling her Sandy so I have been calling her peanut since she is just a little peanut :) If you are interested in meeting or talking about her, please let your placement advisor know.

Sandy moved today to a new foster, as it was time to split up the pups. Sandy's mom is a pure bred golden and dad is unknown. Sandy is the cutest little pup!! In the short time I have had her she has been a very busy girl meeting other dogs, kids, and cats. She is a little scared of the cats. She doesn't approach them and walks away if they come up to her.

She enjoys romping in the yard with the big dogs. Since she is still a puppy, she will have plenty of energy and will need a family that is willing to exercise her. She can go to pretty much any type of home.

She loves to give kisses and cuddles. More later as I get to know her a little bit better.
