It's hard to believe a year has already passed since we went on our 1st road trip to adopt Penny. What a loveable, cute, sweet, smart, stubborn girl she is. We're so happy you live with us.

Love ya Penny!

Pees - check out those gorgeous brown eyes Frankie has.

The Adventure

We travelled from Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie round trip. About 1400 km. We had great weather. No snow and the roads were dry and clear. We didn't see any animals at all. Not one moose or deer. Pretty disappointing.

Just arrived at our hotel.

Daisy and her mom (our human sister) were waiting for us. They had travelled from Toronto to Sault Ste. Marie to meet us. We are going to have Daisy stay with us for 4months while our sister is doing her Masters in Central America.

Sleeping with our sister. You can see mom's arm in the background. She is hiding from the camera.

Do we have to leave already? We just got here and I'm so sleepy.

Saying goodbye.

We're home.

It was a pretty short road trip. We left on Saturday and travelled for 8 hours to Sault Ste. Marie. We had supper and played outside at the hotel for awhile. We read some good peemails and left some too. We packed up and were on the road by 8 am the next day and home by 4:oo pm.

Daisy has made herself at home. She likes all the snow we have.

Love Ruby, Penny & Daisy.

We're going on an Adventure!!!

It's a road trip with mom. Tell you about it when we get back.

Love Ruby & Penny

Season's Greetings

We'll see you all in 2010.

Hatless & liking it.

Mom made us new coats and hats. What a darling Christmas card it would be it we were wearing our new hat & coats in it. Hah, think again mom, we hate the hats and will not keep them on our heads, no matter how many treats you bribe us with.

Our Adoption Stories

Ruby's Story

The first day I met my mom I was six weeks old. She came to the breeders to check me out.



The breeder sent mom this picture of me (it was love at first sight, so she tells me), but she wanted to see me in person. The breeder handed me to mom & I was a little scared. I shook all over. Mom put me down on the floor to see how I walked. I pooed to show her I was eating well and had a good digestive system. Mom said she would take me. That’s the day I became Ruby, not Patches anymore. (I had a shaved patch on my butt, to tell me apart from my sister).

Mom took me home when I was 10 weeks old. It was a really rainy cold day, but mom made me feel safe & warm.

Since that day, I have become an adult dog of two years. I’ve learned to hold it until I get outside and sleep all night. Mom and I have taken many obedience classes, so I am now a well-behaved dog (most of the time). I survived a major operation to have my lady bits removed and learned how to speak after eleven months of being mute. Passing the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program test was a major accomplishment and I now visit a local senior’s facility, where I make people smile.

I am a very happy little dog.

Penny's Story

Mom thought that she needed another dachshund to love and that Ruby needed a companion. She had been looking on the internet to find that dachshund.



Mom came across an ad with this picture in January and it was love at first sight. She sent an email to the owner of the ad and started the ball rolling on adopting me.

In early February, Ruby & mom drove all the way to Ironwood, Michigan to get me and bring me home. I first met mom in a parking lot of a restaurant. Mom held me & I gave her a little kiss.

We had a little hiccup (well a big hiccup or burp) when I decided to run away while travelling. Luckily I decided to be found the next day and we drove the rest of the way home.

Since then mom & I have taken many obedience classes and have been taking weekly, private agility lessons since August. We hope to be ready for some trials next summer.

I too, am a very happy little dog.

Thanks for loving us mom!!!

Love Ruby & Penny
