A Forever Home for Minnie!

Let it be known throughout these lands that Minnie is no longer being fostered with us here. She’s STAYING!

Now well on the way to shedding the excess weight she carried when she first arrived, it has been an absolute joy to watch her blossom as she experiences healthily fulfilling nutrition, the joy of “running with the wolves” in daily activities and on Pack outings, and the engaging challenges of the world at large. In short, Minnie has become the type of balanced dog that is, quite frankly, too good to lose.

The therapeutic power a balanced dog pack brings to the process of returning dogs and people to a naturally healthy way of being cannot be overstated. Minnie embraced this to perfection, and to the point where she has become an active participant in our work with other dogs. In truth, she’s not only staying, she’s hired!

We’ll conclude this announcement with a short film clip Diana shot on 26 August, exactly 2 weeks after Ailsa first joined us, showing Minnie and Ailsa at play. While there was a short period of adjustment between the two, Minnie and Ailsa have bonded as Pack mates. This film clearly shows the culminating effect of how two dogs of completely different breed, size, temperament, and personal history can find a way between them of engaging in healthy energetic play. We regret that the sound file was corrupted so the film is silent, but it tells the story nonetheless, and Diana is in the process of working her magic so the sound version will shortly replace this one. In the mean time, the girls need no sound to get their point across. Enjoy.
