Little Miss Allie Girl
River Dog!
River had a great time with a roll of paper towels! lol Little miss Allie must have gremlins raiding her expen! She looks so sweet and innocence, and is always tucked into her bed when we come in, but the dishes are tipped over and the news paper torn into a million pieces! River is taking food from my hand, but still wont let me touch him, though the other day it was sunny out and I wanted them to get fresh air and some sun, so I looped the leash and slowly dragged the expen outside, leaving one section open so River could venture out if he got brave, well he snuck under the car!, so I had to drag him out with the leash which of course sent him into a panic, but we sat outside for a long while watching the world go by, and he was leaned up next to the sides of the expen, I ventured over to the other side, and tempted to pet him thru the bars, normally he would jump and move away, but outside was much more scary so I got a good petting in as he sat frozen! He is so super soft, and dirty! But wont let me touch him inside, jumps away, but will sniff my hand so thats good.
Allie will let me pet her thru the bars, sometimes, though still wont take food from me.
She is quick to growl and snap if pushed too far.
But both have ventured out of their pens to explore the room, still very timid, but progress none the less!
Though if luring Allie out with a trail of food we have found River will lunge/snap at her to get to the food,
which sends her scurrying back into the pen.
River takes food VERY gently from me, but may have food issues around other dogs, time will tell.
Anyways got pics up too as you see!
Gonna be a long road, but they seem like sweet dogs who really do want to trust.
My heart goes out to them.
Little things like when they try to eat from a bowl and their chin its the bowl causing it to move, sends them running scared! lol My coffee cup was scary, slippers are scary….
Can’t wait to give them bathes!
Signing off!

OMG they are so cute!! I didn’t realize how big they are, are they really that big? They were so scrunched up in the crate the night we got them, I couldn’t hardly see them. Thank you so much for your commitment to these dogs. It is a long road, I know cuz I have two of them myself….but it will be worth it at the end
