cricket! As the tournament begins in the Oval cricket ground, something buzzes outside. The biggest difference between Happy and Cricket is that Happy always had a “resting smile face” and Cricket has more of a, well, “resting grump face?”īut she’s so sweet and we love her.Ah, summer: the sound of leather on willow, and the spectacle of cricket. That almost exactly 251 days of sunset leafiness. It was the last of all our trees to lose its leaves last year. This year Happy’s sunset maple got its new leaves. Here’s a photo of Happy just because she always makes me happy: Happy used to do the same thing! We miss Happy so much but so thankful she opened our hearts to senior dog adoption. When she wants to come back in she barks at the door. She barks at anyone that drives by but never goes after them. And sometimes she just purrs:Ī post shared by Ashley Hackshaw on at 4:53pm PDTĪs I write this today Cricket is outside in the sunshine. Cricket talks to us constantly to let us know what she needs. She’s not very trusting of other dogs right off the bat which is understandable…but she wants to be friends! My favorite thing is how vocal she is.

She lost her eye a few years back when she was put in a yard with other dogs that turned on her. She has a microchip but her previous owner passed away and then she ended up homeless. We were able to find out some of her backstory too. It reminded me of when Sienna was in Kindergarten and I asked her why she was so good for her teachers but not so much for me and her answer was, “Because I hold all my bad behavior in all day and when I get home I just can’t hold it in anymore.” But she hasn’t done it again since…maybe she just sensed that something was different: The same day Cricket decided to eat a doormat. I signed the paperwork and Sienna signed it too. Here’s a recent pic of Max just so he gets some air time: She’s way too snuggly…it’s hard to get anything done when this face is looking at you: We think she looks a little bit like Cookie Monster when she’s smiling: I put on her collar and leash each morning and she drags me around the neighborhood like she’s on a mission! And that’s when you see her smile: When I woke up one morning and saw this I knew we were most likely a foster fail (or success! whichever way you look at it):Ĭricket loves to walk…but she only has pep in her step when the leash is on. Cricket even chose to sleep in Sienna’s bed day and night: Sienna took right to her and Cricket to her. But she settled right in like she’d always been a part of our little menagerie. Ok, technically we were still just fostering, to make sure she was a good fit for our family. The doors opened up, they both flicked their butts next to the dog yard, and then the woman screeched, “Is THAT dog available? I want that one!” At that moment I pulled Cricket close and said, “Oh, I’m sorry…she’s already taken.” And that’s how we ended up with Cricket!

I could see the couple sitting inside the car with the windows rolled up, both smoking and cigarette smoke swirling around them. I wasn’t sure we were ready yet for a new dog and I was talking to the shelter about fostering her for a while when a car drove up. This is our first meeting at the shelter: She was so matted that they didn’t even know that she was missing an eye until they were able to cut her fur back. She was skittish and someone was finally able to catch her.

Thankfully she responds to any of them.Ĭricket is 12-years-old and was found wandering the streets in a nearby town. Okay, really her name is just Cricket but I tend to add things to the end of her name every single time I say it: Crickey-Doodle, Crickey Doodle Doo, Cricket Noodle Soup.
