Benji's a Movie Star...

...well, at least in our eyes he is!

Benji Makes a Friend

We have been having so much fun this week with Benji! He loves to play and snuggle! We decided to take on a second foster, Bella! She came to us on Thursday and is a complete sweetheart!

I just love this face 

Someone is comfortable

Bella loves to follow around her brother, Benji. They are learning to share toys, and parents. We had a quiet Friday night. We spent it snuggling!

Saturday morning Benji and Bella snuggled and chewed some bully sticks.

Happy chewing

Bella was hot, so she cooled off on the hardwood floor

Benji's Weekend Adventures

Benji snuggled with us on Friday night. Snuggling is one of his favorite pastimes.

On Saturday we had two weddings, so we dropped off Benji with my in-laws and he had a doggy playdate! Since he just had his "procedure" on Tuesday he had to stay on a leash. He he had a blast!

He also hung out in the grass while my father-in-law washed the cars.

Benji was extremely tuckered out by the end of his playdate and rested his body at my in-laws.

Sunday morning Benji was full of snuggles. He joined us in our bed and snuggled with me for a few minutes. 

We then headed outside and Benji took care of his business. I was working in the other room while Benji pulled out his toys of the basket!

Benji also joined me while I worked on homework early Sunday morning. Did I mention that he *loves* to snuggle?!?

Benji has really come out of his shell throughout the week. He wants to play, snuggle, is now eating twice a day, doing stairs on his own, and becoming a pro walker!

A Peek at Beni's (Connor's) Week

Benji (Connor on the site) has had a very busy week. When he arrived he seemed fairly comfortable with us and our home, but we quickly found out there were a few things Benji was afraid of...

1. The kitchen. Maybe all of the noises?

Sticking to his home base in the kitchen

2. The stairs. Just not his thing.

Practicing on the stairs (pardon the mess, we are working on remodeling the back stairwell)

3. Walking up the driveway - he throws himself down to the center of gravity.

Update: after a few days Benji become more comfortable with both the stairs and the kitchen! He is even doing the stairs that lead to the second floor on his own! We are still working on walking up the driveway. 

Benji was also fixed on Tuesday. He came home and slept. And slept. And slept.

It was a long day

On Friday Benji decided he was ready to become completely comfortable with our home. He ran to the front door and barked at other dogs that passed, he snuggled on the couch, and snuggled in his bed.

Too much excitement for the day

Benji has not had a single accident in our home. He is starting to eating more consistently. He's a really fun and sweet dog... and check out his adorable ears...

I love how they just flop over!

Meet Connor!

Mae was adopted by Stephanie yesterday. Mae is adjusting well and enjoying being in her "furever" home.

Today we picked up Connor. We are decided to call him Benji! Benji came right out to us when we picked him up with his tail wagging. He enjoyed the ride home and met Lexi through the fence when we got home. He simply looked and Lexi and wagged his tail, no barking!

When he got inside he explored the space and quickly settled in on the couch :) He seemed nervous at first, but that quickly passed and the tail began wagging again!

He also supervised chores!

He even discovered his reflection!

Although he was a little reluctant to go back outside to go potty once he settled in, he has had no accidents!
