Our New foster Missy aka Misty

Well our new girl has settled in beautifully. I hate the name Missy...bad vibes so she is now Misty. Last night she met Max and they were great together. She snarled and growled at Marcus.
We have a crate set up in our family room/kitchen and she is quite happy in it and Max and Marcus walk by often. She slept all night in the crate with no accidents but was quite happy at 6:30 to go out in the paddock and pee and poop. Didn't eat much breakfast this morning but we are not worried.
This morning Barry put Misty out in the 4 x 10 6ft pen that is inside our paddock and put Max and Marcus in the paddock...a few minutes later all 3 were at the paddock gate...little escape artist worked her body under the pen! All were fine.
We lifted her in the horse trough that we use as a dog tub...she had a long bath and conditioning and behaved perfectly. We then blew her dry and she loved it!
This is such a great Newf girl, 6 years old...healthly and active. Her legs look good, she is about 26" at the whithers...sweet as can be. She has been shaved but I think will be quite pretty when her coat and feathers grow back in.
She needs obedience work but she has already learned how to sit and stay.

:cry::cry::cry: She looks like my first girl, with that long face. Give her a love for me and I really hope someone can take her soon. Thank you, Linda and Barry, for fostering her.

What a nice ready-made companion Newf for some lucky person. Praying you magnetize just the right owner for spiffy Misty. Kudos to you for fostering her!

I love the pictures and the escape artist trick. It does sound like she needs a home that is more ready for an active newf.

Aaaaaaw, she looks so sweet. Bless you Linda and Barry for sharing your home with her. Glad to hear she, Max and Marcus are getting along so well.

This was the 6 year old girl on Craig's list in Delaware that a member of BMNC adopted directly from the owner. Missy pulled too much on the leash and Lynn who is not in good health could not control her. Lynn is devastated about it...she has had Newfs for over 20 years and lost her last one in April to cancer.
She should be ready to be adopted in 2-3 weeks.

What a face. Just so sweet!! I kind of like her attitude, growling at her foster brother who was there first. (kidding!)

It's probably his testicles that she objects to. She's likely letting him know right up front that he isn't her "type."

Aw, precious. She looks a lot like my Sophie in the face. Love the eager yet just slightly apprehensive expression in the first one.
Smooches pretty girl........
