It’s been so long since I posted about Callie & Riley but we’ve never forgotten how well they were looked after by Audrey in DID. Making donations by text is just our small way of saying thank you to all the foster families for the wonderful work they do. C&R have a new best friend now in our little boy, Finley, and I’ve a feeling they’re all going to get up to some serious mischief as he gets older
They absolutely adore him and vice versa. They are such amazing dogs and they took to Finley instantly. When he was only a few days old they’d sleep by his Moses basket and come running to let you know he was crying- just in case we couldn’t hear him!!! Now it’s throw and fetch that’s the favourite thing to do. Hours of fun!027.JPG050.JPGIMG_5696.JPGThis little lady is constantly surprising us with her total lack of fear! She absolutely loves new things and just dives right in every time. She’s loving her trips to the beach and would happily swim all day. She certainly showed her bigger brother what he was missing and is delighted to have a swimming buddy now. Callie loves being groomed and came home from the groomer the other day prancing about showing off her beautiful coat. Little madam!
008.JPG030.JPG029.JPGAnother quick update on Riley. He finally plucked up the courage to get into the sea deeper than paw height and now absolutely loves his swimming. Getting him out is the problem now! He’s been loving the sunshine the last week as it’s meant lots of swims and playing chasing with his sister in the sand. He’s curled up fast asleep on the end of the couch dreaming about his fun day at the beach. It’s a dog’s life!!
008.JPGIt’s been a while since I posted so just a quick post to let you know how Callie & Riley are getting on and show you how big they are now. They keep getting bigger and bigger and their huge bed is nice and cosy now instead of us getting lost in it! They absolutely love their walks, exploring and getting as dirty as they can. I still can’t understand why they insist on going through mucky puddles instead of around them but they think it’s great fun. We just can’t remember what the house was like without C&R in it and want to thank everyone at DID for the amazing work they did looking after them when they were so little, particularly Audrey their foster Mum. They’re sending you lots of kisses and tail wags

006.JPG007.JPG010.JPGRiley’s doing so well and getting bigger every day but still lets his little sis Callie explore anything new first! He’s so clever, picks things up really quickly and loves his training. His favourite new place is the forest and trying to see him get up and down hills with his little legs is hilarious! His other favourite place is still his bed and he loves snuggling up there with Callie after a fun day.
036.JPG009.JPG016.JPGCallie is such a fab little girl. She’s so affectionate and loves her kisses and cuddles. She’s still much braver than her big brother and is the first to try everything with Riley always a step or two behind her! They’re both very clever little things and figured out their new games in record time but still love playing with them. They respond really well to training- their party trick is when both roll over together to get their treats!
010.JPG015.JPG004.JPGWe should have called Callie ‘Braveheart’ as nothing seems to bother this little girl! From big dogs to horses, she takes it all in her stride and shows her big brother how it’s done. She’s getting more and more playful and loves getting one over on Riley! She loves the sun and likes relaxing on her cushion by the window in the sitting room, which is where she is right now relaxing after a fun filled morning.
C&R (11).JPGC&R (16).JPGC&R (5).JPGRiley might be getting bigger every day but he’s still a cuddle monster! He loves company and is happiest when he can chill out on his cushion in the sitting room with us. Walks with these two take forever because they want to say hello to absolutely everybody they meet! He’s a little shyer than Callie when he meets new dogs so he tends to follow her lead but he always ends up having a little play with them. He loves the beach and digging for shells but isn’t too fond of the car journey to get there…it’s one of the few times he’s completely silent! He’s having his Sunday nap now in the sitting room after their adventures on the beach this morning!
C&R (10).JPGC&R (6).JPGC&R (12).JPGWhat a cutie this little girl is. Callie is such a gentle soul but well able to stand up to her brother when he tries to use that big chest of his to nudge her out of the way! Callie hates getting her paws wet and sometimes sits stubbornly on the back step when you’re trying to get her into the garden! She has grown so much and looks so healthy. She also loves her sleep and will sneak away from Riley to get a little snooze in! Callie and Riley are full of fun and mischief……so much fun with these two!!
