Sisters Day!

by

Happy National Sisters Day! We have some sisters here at the sanctuary now. Honey B, Lucky, and Rayne are half sisters and share the same father! As we get to know Rayne and Lucky more and they share their personalities with us, I’m sure we will see more similarities between the three of them. There are already some showing through. Honey B and Rayne have a very similar stare, where you feel like they are looking deep into your soul. Rayne does this a lot when you offer her a new food item. She has to inspect you and the food. Honey B gave me this stare a lot when I first started. Also, Lucky and Honey B seem to both really enjoy grooming our boots. Here are some photos of the three of them. Can you see any similarities in their features?

Here are some close up photos of Honey B. This first one is mine, but I have to give photo credit to Anthony for the other two of Honey B.

Lucky can be a hard one to get photos of. She is either resting up high or right up against the mesh ready to interact with us.

Last, but not least here are some photos of Rayne.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Afternoon Photos

by

Today was the first day The Lucky Six were out of quarantine! They have been in quarantine since they have arrived and during that time we took turns working with them each day. So it was nice to be able to pop over from time to time today and say hi! You will notice a lot of my photos are of them, as I was taking advantage of this. Sometimes it’s hard to get photos in the first half of the day since we are busy cleaning. This afternoon I spent some time walking around between the three different groups to see what photos I could get. Not only did I get some photos this afternoon, but a relaxing grooming session with Jamie and a play session with Dora!

Sweet Dora drinking from the extra tub of water we set up in their enclosure.

Gordo relaxing in one of their Playrooms.

Rayne was all about finding good resting spots today.

Theme Scheme

by

There is no real theme for today’s blog. Who needs a theme anyways! I just have these great photos I wanted to share with you all.

The beautiful, sophisticated, and distinguished Rayne.

Terry, Terry, Terry. He is too much!

Dora! Dora is so sweet. I posted this photo recently on our Instagram, but I thought it needed to be shared here too.

Mave with her legs crossed, giving that laid back feeling.

Yesterday was pretty warm. Honey B looked as though she was melting into her nest.

And of course Honey B shredding on her skateboard.

This morning as I let the seven onto Young’s Hill they all immediately race out to get a glimpse of the new neighbors.

Jamie spying.

Burrito standing bipedal so he could get a better look.

This guy Cy is the whole package! He is sweet, playful, a big goof, well read, and quite handsome.

Tiny a.k.a Foxie.

Negra was pretty silly today. She even let me snap of few close ups of her!

We are truly lucky to be able to spend some time with Lucky.

Don’t forget to check out the Amazon wish list. We have added a lot of books. The Lucky 6 seem to enjoy reading books and magazine just as much as Jamie!

They’re Here! They’re Here!

Today was a wild and crazy day, but they are here. They are home! Words can not describe how excited we are to get to know Cy, Terry, Gordo, Lucky, Rayne, and Dora’s personalities more. For right now they are settling in well. I have to warn you, Cy is going to steal your heart, well Terry too. And maybe Lucky. Oh, Rayne and Gordo! Well, and then there is Dora. She might steal your heart too. We are so exhausted so us humans are going to go home and sleep!  We will share more tomorrow :).

Lucky was the first to go into the playroom. She so brave and after exploring Playroom 3 she ran straight out into Green House 3.
