airabelle and clover weathered their transport really well. these dogs have traveled thousands of miles since their original rescue..from the Artic to the Northwest Territories to the southern Fraser Valley.
sweet dogs...airabelle lOVES her food and clover needs to learn to eat faster! they have found their big, double dog sized bed, their basket of toys, and our willingness to give belly rubs. they are settling in just fine.
too bad it is halloween tonight, it is a bit noisy here as i have all of the tv's and stereos turned up really loud in each area in anticipation of drowning out fireworks. won't be too restful of a night for any of us.
oscar is happy..he is all settled in to watch an especially loud version of "underdog"...it is by far his most favorite movie. he likes to watch it closely and interact by inserting his own oscar the grouch barks.
i have pulled the few curtains we have, turned on all of the lights and for the rest of the night i will go to and fro and back and forth..restarting loud movies for the animals that do not have cable and just making sure my reassuring presence is noted frequently.
i get that halloween is great fun for humans..but it sucks for animals. it might be more fun (and safer!) for everyone if fireworks were outlawed.
sometimes kids come up to the school yard next door and set off firecrackers and bottle rockets..sometimes it is pretty quiet and all we hear is the fireworks going off at a distance. but you never know year to year which it is going to be so you have to be prepared.
