Cristene and Duane J. sent us these great photos of their newly adopted Rolling Dog Ranch dogs, Kasha and Shep. Cristene reports that Shep is doing incredibly well, and has already adapted like he's been there for a while!
Kasha and Shep were in the same play yard during the day here at the ranch, so they are used to roughhousing with each other. As you can see from these photos, they were at it again in their new home. Kasha decided to commandeer the toy after first making nice for the camera in that shot above. Here she is beginning to move in on it:
Kasha makes a bold grab for Mr. Penguin:
Shep, despite being blind and about 30% smaller than Kasha, won't let that stand:
Kasha wriggles loose:
But look who ends up with Mr. Penguin after all:
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear both Shep and Kasha are doing well.

congratulations to shep and his new family. when shep came to the kabul shelter in may, he was thin and scared and disoriented, but he quickly blossomed into a happy, curious and intrepid soul. it was a miracle that he was able to travel all the way to montana, and many supporters helped that happen. now it is especially thrilling to know he will live out his life in a wonderful home amid much human love and animal companionship. thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!

how wonderful for both these lucky kids! Thanks to Cristene and RDR for giving them a second chance.
(I hope Opus - Mr Penguin - makes it through their antics!)

No doubt that Shep was thrilled to have Kasha in his life again.
Thanks for this round of wonderful photos and for giving these two pals a new, loving home!

This is such a great story I can barely stand it or believe it.

I am so happy to see this update! I wondered if they had been buddies when they were at RDR together. I bet it was great for them to be reunited. It's always good to have a buddy around that you are familar with & spent time with before. I love the play-by-play as they expropriate Mr. Penguin from each other! They look so happy!
