Alice

BREAKFAST--- always an exciting event

...then off to do some running...

...and running...
...and running! This is a big part of the morning. Alice LOVES to play chase!

Once some of the run is out of her, she goes on collection missions.

This week's collection is bones, which she brings to her outside dog house and watches over.
Midmorning is time to start waiting for the mail and the milk truck to come by.
This is the only time that Alice barks.

Finally, it's heading toward nap time, so she's politely waiting by the door to be let in.

Noon is for napping!

...to be continued...

Update from Alice Anne's foster home!

Alice has been with us a bit over a month now, and has settled into our home very well. She is doing great on the radio fence and she loves to run and explore our large yard with our other dogs. She is not a fence jumper at all- she won’t even jump a two and half foot garden fence! She is very submissive to other large dogs, but was thrilled to have a small dog as a playmate for a weekend.

She has so little interest in our barn cats that actually trips over them occasionally! Our horses seem to be equally uninteresting.Alice loves to gather things- toys, bones, wood chips, socks, and just put them in a pile. She has a good sense of what is really hers and the only thing she chews on is bones, and she sometimes grooms her toys and pulls some fur out of them!
Alice Anne is just waiting for her perfect family to come along---she's ready!!

Couch Potato? We think so!

Cute little Alice Anne has arrived in foster care!
Her foster mom writes: "So far, Alice is getting along very well with her foster sisters Astera (pointer mix) and Quita (shepherd mix). She is a very calm girl until she gets in the high grass on her walks- then the nose starts going and her true pointer colors come out!
She doesn't jump on people, completely ignores the cats, is not food, treat or toy aggressive, and is trying hard to figure out the whole in-the-house thing. Her mentor is Astera, who has so far taught her how to go up and down the stairs, and when to bark at the mail man."

Transport Fun!

Alice Anne went on her trip to her new foster home.
Kris---one of the transport drivers wrote afterwards: "This girl is an absolute sweetheart! It was such a great pleasure transporting her!!"

Her journey...

Alice Anne found herself an "orphan" when her owner died. The owners family threatened to shoot this little girl.
Luckily compassionate rescue volunteers in Nebraska pulled her into safety and then asked IBR to take this little girl into their foster program.
