Remy was 12 weeks old when she came to us as a foster along with her sister, in the Spring of 2010. The morning after they arrived they both fell ill and were diagnosed with Parvovirus, Kennel Cough and Pneumonia. Remy was released after five days, her sister wouldn’t be released for another week. They both spent another two months recovering from the effects of their illnesses. It was during this time that Remy became close with one of our two resident dogs, Sage.
Sage is a high energy, Collie mix who was often too much for our older Bichon Frise, Dashiell. So Remy, a high energy Boxer/Siberian Husky Mix, was a perfect fit for Sage. The two quickly became inseparable, spending hours wrestling and chasing each other around the yard until they both were completely exhausted. We never had any intention of adopting another animal, but we also didn’t have the heart to separate these newfound friends. So in July of 2010, we adopted Remy (aka “Mush” due to her overzealous cuddling antics towards anyone that ventures to sit down in our house).
