Making Room at the Inn

Since we have a trip coming up soon, we had planned on keeping the number of foster kids to just one. But when the call came in that there were two puppies in Louisiana who needed rescue, we decided we could find room at the inn for one more. Little did we know what a sweet, wonderful little guy we'd have as our guest. Little Chipper is a pup of about 11 months old and a tiny 7.7 pounds. He moved in and make him self right at home, getting along splendidly with his foster brothers and sister, being a polite little gentleman who is learning the routine and rules of the house so well in just a week's time. He has the sweetest disposition and eagerly seeks out attention and love. Whenever he sees a person looking in his direction, he gets all happy and runs to them with a smile on his face.

Chipper is not the typical full-of-boundless-energy puppy - while he does enjoy playing and running, he also has quiet times when he wants to just lie down and rest.

Dixie took a liking to Chipper from the get-go. She was the first dog to show a keen interest in him. They have a gentle relationship more of closeness than rough play. Frequently I'll find them lying together, often with some body part of Chipper on top of Dixie. She's such a good dog - she doesn't mind if another dog lies on top of her.


Both Dixie Darlin' and Chipper are looking for their forever homes. Even though their personalities are different, they both have such wonderful attributes and are really great dogs who will make welcome additions to their new families!
