Spanky

As most of you know, Dr. John and Betty delivered a dog, Spanky, to us the other day. He is an English Springer Spaniel around two years old. We are foster parents to him until John and Betty move into their own side of the duplex.

So far, he has been very good with the exception of separation anxiety which we are working on. But otherwise, he is so good which will make him a good pet for John and Betty because they will not have to do much, if any training. He sits, knows his name, does not bother us when we are eating, and when we are all in one room, he lays down on the floor.

At night time he comes in to our room and sleeps at the foot of the bed, eventually getting off to lay on the floor because we tend to toss and turn all night. This morning he heard the kids so hubby got up to let him out and he ran into my daughter's room and jumped on the bed and licked their faces. (My son was in there, too).

Today I made a cherry pie which I will take to my mother's house along with a store bought pumpkin pie. Tomorrow. hubby and daughter are braving the shoppers to see what deals they can find. Sometime this weekend we will go to see the in-laws and bring the dog to visit them.

Happy Thanksgving everyone!!!
