Spencer and Katie

Well, it took us a while, and we had lots of great names to choose from, but we finally decided what to call these two adorable little dogs: Spencer and Katie, for Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. 

They have settled into a routine here, and have figured out where everything is.  In fact, when we put them outside to go potty, they're back at the door almost before we are (no, really!).  We have to pick them up and put them even farther out, to make sure they do their business before they head back inside.  They are a very smart pair, and though the genetic damage cost them their vision and hearing, their brains are 110%.  And their intelligence is matched by their self-confidence.

So there you have it … Spencer and Katie.

This will be the last blog post for this week.  But please keep voting in the Shelter Challenge!

    I hope Helen continues to do well and have no issues with her kidneys. And what wonderful names for that cute twosome. They certainly seem to have adjusted quickly and seem to be well and happy. They are so cute together and I’m glad they have each other. I’m sure they’ll spend more time outside once the weether gets warmer. That’s a nice photo of them sleeping together.

    You gotta call him “Spence” though like she did! Maybe even “Katie” for her……

    Could they be happier anywhere else than on the ranch? Hard to imagine, but if anyone does want to adopt one, they’ve got to take both. Don’t let anyone separate those two!

    I’m not surprised that Spencer and Katie complete their potty duty tout suite – big difference between Louisiana and Montana in February/March.
