How can she lie there looking so innocent

Kay is such a faker. She waddles when she walks. She makes like she is too big and old to jump much, but I found out tonight that Little Miss Fat Girl is a food theif.
We feed raw here. So, sometimes for the new dogs, the amount of food their getting may seem small. But we are careful about feeding and Kay is on a weight loss program. Or at least I try.
And Kay is what I lovingly refer to as very food motivated.

Tonight I made dinner so that means the loving and adoring husband cleans up afterwards. He went out right after dinner and I had to get on the computer to do some much needed stuff and Kay stayed downstairs waiting by the door (or so I thought).

When Jim came home, he asked if I had put the leftover meat away........................................... Nope, that wasn't my job, that was suppose to be his. I guess because Kay loves him so much, she thought she would help. Long story short, there is no more leftovers. Good news, she never broke a plate or made a mess or disturbed anything other than to clean that plate right up.

Bad Jim and bad Bev. Its our fault she got it. LOL but as I was looking at her with disapproval on my face and my hands on my hips, all she did was burp. When I told her how unlady like that was she burped again. My only payback will be that Jim will have to walk her in the morning and he gets to clean up her deposits.

Kay continues to show us a wonderful side. She came in with a hard look in her eyes that made me wonder. But as time goes by, that look softens, she becomes more relaxed and I think we are ready to start taking her in more public places. The sooner we know how she reacts in different settings, the sooner we can find what kind of home she needs

new dog and long day

Kay has landed on our doorstep. And what a nice girl. She's going to need some work, some weight loss and some leadership. She seems to think that her job is to bark and scare away people. But she is going to learn that "I" have that job and I won't give it up. I would prefer she took the role of lady of leisure cause it would suit her more. She's a nice middle aged girl that can live with other dogs if she has to but I'm sure would be happier on her own.

Today was the Richmond Animal Wellness Expo. Lots of people and lots of wonderful dogs. Most of them well behaved but whenever you get that many people and dogs together it can be a little tense.
One of my pet peeves has always been ex tenable leashes. Yes they are great for the dogs, way more freedom but a much bigger chance of someone getting hurt. And today was no different. Little dogs, big dogs, people shopping and not really seeing what was up at the end of the leash. Thank goodness no one got hurt, but I'm glad I didn't bring the new girl. Way too much going on and she wouldn't have taken to it all very well.
We will soon have Kay up on the website and will tell you more about her as time goes on. While she isn't ready for adoption just yet, feel free to let us know if what you are looking for is a calmer, more mature girl to curl up with at night.

It seems like some days it just rains rottweilers. We have agreed to take in a middle aged girl from the island and there will be lots more about her later. But once we agreed to help her, I got "the" call. there is an old boy in one of the local shelters. He came in as a stray and his hold period is almost up and they are looking for a placement for him. This poor old thing has many lumps and most likely cancer. So we are asking, if you have any room, please please let us know. No dog should spend his last days in a cold kennel. It breaks my heart and so I am sending out this plea. this boy will not be for adoption, but rather is looking for palliative care. We will know more in the next couple of days when he has some of the tumors looked at, but if it is cancer, and he is as old as he seems, no extreme measure will be taken. But a warm bed and loving heart would go a long way to helping make this boys last days comfortable.
stay tuned for pictures and further updates If you can help, please please email me at wcrr.info@gmail.com

Things have been pretty quite lately

And I miss having the big dogs around. since Louie's adoption, I have been in contact with some of the shelters we work with but as of tonight, there are no dogs that need WCRR's help. That changes so very quickly.
I have been baking the worlds smelliest dog treats. The house is hot from the weather but even hotter having the oven on, and now it just plain smells. YUCK
But it is one of the many ways we try to raise some much needed funds. And to be really honest, the dogs everywhere love them.
I am going to take this slow time to remind people why WCRR does not take in owner surrenders. Our funds are low. Our mandate is rottweilers in shelters. Every single day I get an email from someone that has to get rid of their dog for one reason or another. And I tell these people no. Not because I don't care about these dogs, because I do care deeply. But these dogs have someone. The dogs in shelters don't. Yes they have the staff and the volunteers if there are any, but they have no one to speak for them directly. And if owners work hard enough I really believe they can either find a way to keep their dog or at the very least, find a suitable home.
But the dogs in shelters suffer in ways that dogs with owners don't. They get stressed because of the noise. They can start to act out and when that happens, no one can see past their behaviour. And they get sick. Often shelters can't afford to treat the dogs the way that private rescues can. So, to all the angry people out there that complain that I won't help them, I'm sorry. But the spots we have available are for those that are in danger. And to the shelters, let us know how we can help. Because we are there for the rottweilers in need.
