Kinsey Waiting For Santa

Kinsey met Santa and is now waiting on the big night. She has a few presents under the tree.

The best present she could receive would be her forever home. Look at those eyes! Can you say no?

Kinsey came for a short stay with us while her other foster parents are away for a few weeks.

She came in and made herself at home in a short time. She found a few toys and the resident hounds beds. The best description of her is a total sweetie.

If you're interested you better act fast. I have a feeling her first home visit she will be adopted.

Check back for more updates on this cutie.

Kinsey Meets Santa!

Kinsey went to the 100 Oaks Meet and Greet last Saturday and had a big time. She is doing wonderful in her foster home and really seems to be coming out of her shell. She enjoyed all of the attention on Saturday and gave out lots of kisses!

She even got to meet Santa Claus!

Kinsey at the Halloween Meet and Greet

Kinsey's new foster parents brought her out to Meet and Greet at 100 Oaks yesterday. She is a little shy, but she doesn't get too overwhelmed at the busy Meet and Greets she has been to. She just loves to be petted.

Enjoy the pictures and look for more from her new foster parents soon!

If you talk sweet to her she'll bury her face on you to give you some love.

Kinsy is doing very well. She is a little reserved but not shy. She is starting to learn to play with stuffies. She has had no accidents in the house or in the crate.
She is good in the crate but does sleep thru the night on a dogbed in my bedroom at night. She is very good in the house and usually gets a toy plays quietly by herself. She walks well on leash and will potty on leash (altho it sometimes takes a lttle time. Got to find that perfect spot). She rides very well in the car . This girl is a major roacher. She loves to sleep upside down. Although she does not have the decorating style that Bart has, she does like to help me with the house work. She will be going back to Dr Pierce in October also so there will be an update on her leg soon. She is using the leg but still hops on it more often then not. She has not been small animals tested yet but that will come soon. She is starting to come out of her shell a little more everyday but I dont think she will be overly busy.

Returning to Nashville Shortly!

I just wanted to let you know that Qinzykue is continuing to improve and show us a very sweet personality. For two weeks on Mon-Wed-Fri I took her back to Dr. Pearce so that he could change her bandage. Then this week, I took her Tuesday and he took an x-ray and removed her bandage. The sore that was present when she arrrived in Memphis is almost completely healed as is the broken bone. Dr. Pearce is very pleased. I will take her again tomorrow for another check and a soak (the "spa" treatment!) The final check should be next Wednesday and then to Nashville on the 18th.

It is almost as if she knows she must be careful so that her leg will heal properly. She loves attention, but is not at all "pushy" and she does that "clickin" thing some of you were writing about recently. She easily goes into the her crate. Really, the only somewhat negative things about her are (1) it takes her a very long time to decide where she wants to do her business. We must walk back and forth and forth and back numerous times in our backyard before she finds the perfect spot..... go figure (2) she operates on eastern time! I normally get up at 5:00, but she likes 4:15... you know how that last hour of sleep is so good?! Well, I've kinda been missing out on that lately! But believe me her "sweetness" more that makes up for any lost sleep. Bob and I agree that once she heals and gets to Meetin' and Greetin' in Nashville she wil have no problem finding her forever home. It has been a real joy having her in our guest crate.

Bandage Change

Qinzykue ("Kinsey") wanted me to take photos of her visit with Dr. Pearce today and her dressing change!

She is such a perfect houndie. At one point she had to lift her head to watch the process, kinda like she was checking to see that they were doing it right! She is going in for the dressing to be changed on Mon-Wed-Fri. Dr. Pearce is pleased with the incision site. He said it is healing very well and looks good.


When Qinzykue arrived, she had an ulcer-type sore under the bandage. It, too, is healing extremely well. All in all, she is doing great. At home with us, she is eating well, walks well on leash to do her business, but takes a really long time to find her favorite spot in our yard! She goes in our guest crate without a problem and settles right down. As you know, that is where she must stay while her leg is healing, but she doesn't seem to mind at all. (she really is a first class "roacher" in her crate.)

Qinzy Settles In

As planned, I picked up this sweet girl yesterday afternoon at Dr. Pearce's. She is so good and just takes things as they come.

When we arrived home, she met Evan, Debutante, Barney, AND a very small little doggie, Amos, that we were keeping for the day. Qinzykue ("Kinsey") just did a minimal meet and greet to everyone, very politely and showed no interest in giving chase to Amos. After a short tour of the backyard for the meet and greet and to take care of "business", we took her to the guest crate in our bedroom and let her settle in which she did.

We've never had a roacher, but she can roach with the best of them. She ate well, and slept through the night. She is just a really sweet girl, and enjoys being petted, but is not pushy or demanding. She will go back to Dr. Pearce Tuesday for a dressing change.

I'll send more updates while she is with us here in Memphis.....

Qinzy (Kinsey) is Healing!

I met Liz at the DQ at exit 108 Monday afternoon to pick up this sweet girl. We are not sure how to pronounce her name, so she is probably a little confused. "Can't you get my name right?" Seriously, she seems so laid back and easy going, I don't think it matters.

I forgot my camera that day, but I did stop by Dr. Pearce's to visit her Wed. afternoon. I took a few pictures so you could be introduced to the latest recipient of the Angel Fund. Dr. Pearce did her surgery Tuesday and I plan to pick her up this afternoon. She will stay with us a couple of weeks before she travels to Nashville.

Her leg was infected and Dr. Pearce wants to monitor that for the next two weeks. She seems to take everything as it comes. More on her later after I get her settled in at our house this afternoon.

Hope all the M & G go well this weekend. Qinzykue will be there as soon as she heals!!!
