penny, gadget and friends

New arrivals Gadget (blue collar) + Penny (rainbow collar) are being fostered close to each other so I invited myself to the impromptu gathering yesterday afternoon.

Penny had a dental a few weeks back which meant some extractions and now she has a bit of an Elvis snaggle-look. She's also had some other medical issues appear, so having some friends come over put a little pep in her step for a bit and she seemed to have a good time. Her foster family is all about the dogs -- they've had about 50ish fosters come through their home over the years and though Penny has a couple foster brothers currently, there's something special about sleddies when they get together - especially old kennel mates like her friend Gadget - that can help with the transition from their old life into their new.
Along with Gadget,  Apex, Mary Kate, Roo + Smokey also came. Amongst the photo ops, there was lots of sniffs of hello, then treats, then hanging out, then treats, then more sniffing and potty breaks... and cheering for poops.

Apex, as always, was suspicious of me and my camera, Mary Kate stuck close to Deb and Roo kept an eye on his sister Mary Kate. Smokey just woo-woo'd and followed the treats... and stopped in for neck scritches.

After a bit, Harry the gentlest bear (and one of Penny's foster brothers) managed to 'lick himself out of the house' and came for a visit (and looked quite pleased with himself!). Penny's other foster brother, little Lenny visited through-the-window, and dearest Diesel, the neighbour got some treats through the fence. 

With full bellies and business taken care of, I sat next to Penny - who just loves people - while the humans kept chatting. Eventually this little lover rested her head on my leg.
Quite possibly one of the cutest things ever. 

Thanks to Penny's fosters, C+D, for hosting this last-minute gathering. 

Gadget + Penny are currently in the care of the Victoria Humane Society.
