    Lottie must not like baths.(our Mally doesn't like them either)That's so nice the foster mom getting her all "spiffy" and "ready to go" to her forever home with you and Meggie and Cooper.

    Great that you already have your 2 babies as Lottie is used to being with other shelties.

    How excited you must be!!

    I am very happy for you.

    Lottie's foster mom said she has been a very easy, loving girl to care for. She gets along with all the other doggies, so I'm anticipating a lot of fun with the three of them.

    I can't wait until Monday!!!!!!!!!!

    Lottie is officially on her way!!!

    Jeff sent me a text message that said, "We have your little package and she is awesome!"

    She got along with their two HUGE labs right away. He thinks she great! They should be here sometime before noon tomorrow. I can't wait!

    They KNOW!! I swear - they KNOW they are going to their loving forever homes! Laddie got right into the car, next to Katie, and was perfect on the drive home. He came into the house and made himself right at home (with lots of hugging and kisses from me). He KNEW he was in his safe, loving, PERMANENT home!
    She is most likely juist as excited as you are!! Can't wait to hear more.

    Lottie is here!!! She is doing so well. She ate, peed and pooped! Yay!!!

    She is such a sweet girl. She is settling in so well and is not acting timid or anxious at all.

    The cutest thing happened when my daughter and I were getting ready to leave for dinner. We were trying to get Lottie in the crate that I have for her, which is a wooden crate. The other two were anxious for their treats and my daughter suggested we put Cooper in his crate first to reduce some of the pandemonium. So I walk into the laundry room and both Cooper and Lottie go straight into the metal crate. It was so cute the two of them standing in there with barely any room to spare, waiting for their treats. I decided to let Lottie use the metal crate and put Cooper in the wooden one. Cooper is so "go with the flow," that I think he'll be fine with it. Just a change in his routine he'll have to get used to.

    The three of them get along perfectly. Lottie looks at them like their crazy when the bark. I'm hoping that never changes!!! A woman can hope, right!

    I'm thankful my daughter is here again. It worked out perfectly that I didn't have to leave Lottie home alone right after she arrived.

    Oh, and guess what?! Lottie's collar matches a leash I have. She was SOOO meant to be mine! Pictures tomorrow, I promise. Tonight I'm just lovin on her to make her feel comfortable!

    Take care everyone!

    Oh my gosh, she almost doesn't sound like a Sheltie settling in like that! It must have been hilarious to see her in the crate shoulder to shoulder with Cooper. What do your other two think of her so far?

    I am SO VERY GLAD for you, truly. You both will bring each other years of happiness, I can tell. Please give Lottie a hug from me.

    (Im)patiently awaiting pictures! :biggrin2:
