I had the opportunity to have a sleepover with Sonny-Boy (left) and Cher-Bear (right) this weekend since both of these little butterballs were featured at the PetSmart Adoptathon in Ottawa!
Even at approximate ages of 9-10 years, these two sure can move as you can see in the above video link!

Cher is such a comical-looking girl ~ people cannot help but smile when they see this big-eyed beauty! She has a tendency to tilt her head to the side when you talk to her, kind of how she is doing in this photo, but only way more dramatic (its adorable!).
Both Cher and Sonny are similar in size and as you can see aren't much bigger than my husband's runners! LOL.
Here is a cute shot of Cher drying off after her bath! There was a lot of grunting and snorting with pleasure going on when she was free from the tub!
But the bath and a good brush sure paid off! She was so white and soft....and her fur had a little scent of baby powder! Cher was hoping that the crowd at PetSmart would love to pick her up and cuddle with her (and they did!!!!!)
There is Cher in the middle looking to greet some incoming visitors!
Sonny is not nearly as photogenic as his sister Cher, but he is every bit as cute and loveable!
During the short-time we had with this dynamic duo, I cannot count how many times on my hand that Sonny flipped over for a belly rub! He loooooved soaking up the love & attention and was sure to be in hands reach at all times :)
Sonny is such a good helper around the house and did a good job cleaning up under the table after dinner.
He may be a little "man's man", but rest assured he can be a big ball of mush when he wants to be! A moment before this photo was taken, he was kissing Peep the lamb!
He looooves to roll around in the yard when the sun is out!

Sonny also enjoys being on the lookout for people, dogs and cars that pass by. If he sees something that he thinks we should know about, he'll let us know with a grunt and a raspy little bark! Clearly, Cher just likes to hang out - if and when Sonny decides to give a warning bark, she'll be sure to jump up to check it out for herself too!
Sonny is such a good big brother to sister Cher! The two of them will often kiss and clean each other!
Gearing up to watch another episode of the Dog Whisperer!
How cute are these dogs ?!?!?!?!
Sonny was tired from sitting in all of the pictures I took! Who knew that being this cute could be this exhausting!
Here is a cute little video of Sonny and Cher before we left for PetSmart!
Overall we had a great day at PetSmart on April 30th and considered it a successful weekend of promoting rescue-awareness! Many people came to say hello to Sonny and Cher, and some of our other lovely adoptable pets (Joe-Joe, Kenzie & Booda!). While Sonny and Cher had a fun sleepover with me and my husband, they were also happy to get back to their routine with their foster mom Lois & fur-sisters Tynna & Anne in Kanata.
These are such wonderful pictures and videos Elaine! I miss them both so much and this brings back so many memories of the two of them together and their antics when they were here. The adventures of Sonny & Cher! lol Although I wasn't able to foster them long term, I know that both are destined to find their most perfect forever home(s), whether it's together or separate. I'd love to cross post these to my blog of the two of them (with permission of course)as I only have pictures of their time here with us. It's nice to have professional quality (current) pictures of them. I just know that their forever family is out there waiting to discover these two little gems. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of them during their stay with you and for pimping them out for their foster mom. They are such happy, spirited little souls. They are irresistible~!
ReplyDeleteHey Donna! They are SUCH wonderful dogs and will no doubt make the most amazing pets to some lucky family out there.....I was so happy that they were not afraid of the camera. In fact, they rather liked the attention I think :)Absolutely, go ahead and cross post, use whatever you'd like that's posted here!
ReplyDeleteOmg, these are the most hilarious, chubby, ridiculous Chis I've ever seen! I love them! How could anyone ever get rid of them!? Sigh. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great Elaine! Now I want to adopt them - who could resist. Honestly, there is no way you could ever be in a bad mood with those to jolly faces to greet you. Paws crossed that someone realizes that their family is waiting to join them.
ReplyDeleteI know Grace. I cried a lot when I had to move them due to space here and my foster doggie limit, just ask their new foster mom and my John, it wasn't a pretty sight and hard to tear myself away from the two of them, but know it was for the best for everyone. I'm so grateful to their new foster mom for generously offering to take them. I really do miss them a lot and wish I could visit if they weren't so far away. : ( These two certainly DO have a way of finding their way into your heart and staying there! I will never forget them, as I'm sure you can understand after having them. Thanks again. I will steal away now and pimp them out in the blog I have of them. : )
ReplyDeleteThey are such a comical pair! You cannot help but smile when you see their butterball bodies running towards you, or when you hear the pig-like noises they make when they are happy/curious! I was SO taken by them after only having them for 24 hours - I know it must have been hard to let them go Donna! Hopefully the new pics and mini videos will help people see the wonderful potential in these special dogs!
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh at your cute description of these two! So true!! as for the sight of the 'long good-bye' that took me I think 3 or 4 hours...haha! not kidding...I'm sure their new foster mom must have thought I was a blubbering nut!Now that she's had them for many months now, I'm sure she now understands just how hard it was for me to say good-bye to them, knowing it will probably be the last time. That's what makes these pictures and videos so special to see. I really enjoyed the videos and seeing them in action in real life again. You describe them really well for any potential adopter out there considering adopting these two little characters. : )
