On Friday, 17 December, I received a phone call from my former
vet clinic in Wisconsin, Kenosha Animal Hospital.
I hadn't been there since Janury 2015, but SOMEone remembered
that I worked with Cairn Terrier Rescue . . .
so KAH Receptionist Nancy called to tell me of a seven-month-old
that a client wanted to give up because
"it doesn't get along with the grandkids",
and even tho I was now in Florida, did I still have contacts
in Wisconsin?
Of course I did, so I contacted CRUSA's Midwest Placement Director,
Shell L., as well as Chuck, who has worked with Airedale Rescue
and, back in 2008, adopted Bear from CRUSA.
After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, and some waiting,
Archie was delivered to Chuck, Jay & Buddy's house today.
Chuck writes:
Buddy led Archie into the house. They sniffed each other and started playing.
They're having a blast playing! They became partners-in-crime in 10 minutes.
THE MEETING . . .
THE GREETING . . .
. . . OK, THEN, YOU'RE A BOYDOG, JUST LIKE ME.

THE FIRST PLAYBOW . . .
Chuck writes:
I've been trying to get a picture
of the little guy's face. So far
he hasn't slowed down long enough.
They've been wrestling
and playing bitey face.
And later . . .
I just had those two out in the back yard.
While Archie is too small to play
tug-o-war with Buddy,
he's not too small to play chase!
Boy, what a blast they're having!
Archie came with his medical records,
food, treats, toys and the toys he was
going to get for Christmas.

C'MON, LET'S PLAY SOME MORE!
Later that evening:
I just used Buddy's brush on Archie and boy did he love it.
He's crashed out next to me in my chair now.
The endorphins must be on overload.
Here's Buddy worn out!
Buddy's met his match!
Archie has already been placed, so this is only a fostering situation.
JACKIE McGUINNESS
in England:
He looks lovely.
JACKIE IKE:
That is just wonderful! I know it felt good to help that youngster. Great work Andréa, Chuck & Shell. [And Nancy at KAH, too, who actually remembered me and all the Cairns I used to bring in!]
MARE MOORE
in Canada:
Oh wow, that's a wonderful rescue story just in time for the Howlidays! Buddy sure looks like he really likes his new roomie and vice versa. Bless you, Andréa, for your prompt action & knowledge of whom to contact (as usual) & you, Chuck, for taking Archie in even if only temporarily so.
