We have two new additions to our family! Meet Sydney:

And Lexi:

After fostering Bailey for about 6 months and sending him off to his forever home, we decided that we were ready for some dogs of our own again. We wanted two dogs, young adults, small to medium size, who played well together. We told Donna from All About Labs, the rescue we have worked with, what we would be looking for. A few weeks ago, she called us with some information about these girls. They were found as strays (probably dumped) in rural Arkansas by a woman and her family who were attending a family reunion at some cabins. They brought them home, had them vetted, and attempted to find them a home together, preferably locally. A friend of theirs put them in touch with Donna so AAL could help get them adopted out, and Donna immediately thought of us. They came up for a visit a few days later, and we were sold! We had to wait until the loud, messy part of the kitchen work was done first, but we’re at a point now where it’s not too chaotic, so it was time to bring them home.

Their foster family took wonderful care of them. They had them spayed and vaccinated, fed them good quality food, crate-trained them, and treated them as part of their family (which includes 2 other dogs!). They said we were their Conway twins—the husband works from home, the wife is a stay-at-home mom, and they have a 2-year-old daughter. They even use the same dog food that we do, which is kind of an unusual one! We told them to come visit whenever they wanted to see how their girls were doing.

I really didn’t get very many good pictures today, but I’ll try to post some more in the near future. (It’s getting a little hard to get down on the floor and move around quickly enough to get the perfect shot!)
