Week 1: Praline comes to Chicago

Welcome to Chicago, Praline! Praline came to us from Southern IL where she was turned in to a shelter because she lost her interest in hunting. On March 6, several volunteers carpooled her from Vandalia to Effingham to Kankakee to the big city of Chicago! She handled the car rides beautifully, riding one leg with her head in the drivers lap, and another happily sitting between her new foster brother and sister (the human ones).

Praline does a lot of panting and moves 100 miles a minute except when she is getting love...then she will sit still for as long as you're giving attention. She just lays her head on your lap and takes in the love!

Praline met her foster doggie brother Tucker when she got home. Tucker is 75 lbs and only a year old, and he loves to play rough. We took them on a walk together and Praline happily pranced alongside, but as soon as we got to the backyard and he wanted to play Miss Praline decided she'd had enough. We decided to give her some time to relax from her trip and settle in before throwing full scale Tucker at her!



This week Praline also met her vet and got all her bloodwork taken care of, then met her new dogwalker who agrees with one of the volunteers who got her to us - she is a "love sponge"!
