Introduction from my Furever Home
There's just Cassidy, myself and Mom and Dad. With the 1:1 ratio we get constant interaction with our parents; especially since Mom and Dad work opposite days and schedules. Three days of the week we are alone only 2-1/2 hours in our crates from the time Dad leaves until Mom gets home. Other than those few hours 3 days of the week a parent is home with us 24/7 unless they are out running errands. We are so lucky to have our parents home with us so much.
We have a big yard with lots of trees AND BIRDS! There is a nest of baby robins, bunnies of all sizes, a momma squirrel with 3 babies and several ground squirrels. Cassidy and I love running and chasing each other. Mom and Dad said we are like race car drivers - we run in left circles. Sometimes we are creative and run in figure eight formation. We take turns being lead chaser. We do body slams in the nice big lily plants as they are so soft to fall into. But now the plants are all flat and yellow. Mom and Dad didn't yell at us at all and just looked at each other and said that the plants will grow back next year - I can't wait!
There were these really cool big bugs around here with wings and red eyes. Cassidy and I just loved watching them. Sometimes we pounced on them and sometimes we walked up to a tree or fence and licked them up. There were millions of them! Mom really didn't like when we ate them. She said it was disgusting and gross; probably because she didn't try them herself. She tells US to take a bite of something new to try but SHE wouldn't try the cicadas - its not fair!
Mom and Dad must be feeding us something good (maybe its the cicadas!) as we have grown SO much. Cassi and I each weigh about 38 pounds but are built differently. I am very solid and muscular (Mom says like an athlete) and Cassi is tall, long and lean (Mom says like a dancer).
Cassidy and I did not like our first 4th of July. It was SO LOUD AND NOISY! We were so scared. Dad was at work and Mom sat with us in the stairwell and cradled us tightly and talked to us very quietly and calmly. She kept telling us we were good girls and how much she loved her girls and she would protect us. Mom said it was the longest period of time she saw us SO STILL AND QUIET. Normally we are quite rambunctious. As of the 5th of July we were back to our "wild child" ways.
We are full of boundless energy, curiosity, mischief and all things puppy X 2!! Sometimes we tune out the parents when they are talking to us and we do our own thing. Lucky for us our parents don't want to spank us so sometimes they spray us with water to get our attention. They even bought a special pretty pink spray bottle just for us!
That's all for now; I have to help Cassidy with her blog. Please don't forget to check out her blog, too. (http://ibrgidget.blogspot.com). Thanks for your continued interest and support, Keira.

Jersey is going through her surgery
Jersey's foster mom writes:
I am holding off sending out pics until after surgery...(it is actually in both eyes,she just has one closed in the photo) It does affect her sight as she keeps running into the glass door! Poor girl! But she is having fun with my boys and getting along fine with Pre and Rosie as she pretty much leaves them alone and seeks out the human play & cuddles at this point. I am SO glad she is getting a second chance through IBR!!!!!!!!!
She is a tired girl today--I think she realizes she can finally relax and recoup a little from her rough start in life. She did get Rosie to play with her outside some today which was fun to see Rosie prancing around like a puppy again!
