And, action!

The question of Mercy's mobility comes up quite a little bit.  Can she walk?  Look how bow-legged she is?!  Poor thing.  Is that how she walks naturally? 

Not only does little Ms. Mercy-bear walk, she does many things.  She runs, she dances, she leaps, climbs and shakes it.  Here are just one minute and fourteen seconds of our girl in action:

See for yourself!

Today is the day

On September 20th of 2010, Mercy landed at her permanent foster home.

A wee boxer estimated to be in the neighbourhood of one year old.

Long since exceeding all expectations as far as health and happiness

    are concerned, a promotion is in order.  Yes, yes?

Please see below, Mercy-bear, the two year old.

Happy Birthday, Mercy!

May there be many more ahead for celebration.

XXOO!!

Sisters and Brothers

Bein' everybody's sister

Ain't we happy, everybody

Lookin' out for Mister Mister

Ain't we lucky, ain't we

Ain't we happy, ain't we

Ain't we lucky, ain't we

Ain't we happy, ain't we

Sisters and brothers, brothers and sisters

Ain't we, everyone

The breeze, the trees, the honeybees

All volunteers!  

Let not Mercy's charitable work go unnoticed.  She's part of it.

Most recently, she has donated her time as canine representation at

Pawsitively Pets Kids Camp.

Showing the campers some of the things that go on at

Canine Wellness Centre.



First things first, the meet & greet and the Mercy dance.

A little ball work with Tania and a camper assistant.







Showing off her mad swimming skills along with her pal, Reggie.

Many laps for the many kids.  She can do it.

Kindness is the greatest wisdom.

Mercy is one smart cookie, okay. 

Game on

Mercy Vs. The Kenmore

Is it a draw?!

You make the call.

Swim Class

Safety first!  That is a fact.

Mercy keeps on with her swimming lessons at Canine Wellness Centre. 

Recreational Swim sessions at least once each week.

Still, she doesn't love it.  She puts up with it.

It's so very beneficial to the little alligator's well-being.

Stay tuned for more pool updates a la Mercy...

Rocket or Rock It

No matter how you say it, Mercy is loving the Summer and the sunshine.

When an invitation for an impromptu racing contest was put forward by her pal 

Brook-Brook, the Brookie Monster...  Mercy did not need to be asked twice. 

Both girls unapologetically break all speed limits.

And there's nothing quite like lounging upon a warmed wooden deck.

Soaking it all in.

Keep on, sunny days!
