Hello............
 My name is Oracle and I am 9 months old, cute as a button, as sweet as pie, I wiggle when I see you, well I wiggle a lot.  I have had a rough start of life so far, so I need my Foster Mom, brother and sister to show me the way!!  Even so my start in life has not been perfect  I really am just a PUDDLE of love!
 I come all the way from Tennessee and was found as a stray! Yep little ol me a stray. I was scared and thin and full of MITES. But I have many people to thank for my happy adventure to Minnesota.  Humane Society, another rescue site in TN and of course RAGOM. THANK YOU ALL!
 I am so itchy due to the Mange, but we are working on that.  One week with bath's, good food, sleeping with FM in bed and medication I am happier than ever.
 Thank you Oracle - Can I tell them a few things now? RUF RUF
 I will take that as a yes; what a sweetie this girl is, I am telling you she is sweet and loving from the top of her nose to the tip of her tail.
 She is fully potty trained and has had NO accidents in the house.  One night she barked to let me know she had to go out!!  Such a good girl.
 Poor baby has Mange and when I saw her last Sunday night I felt so bad for her.  Her skin was bright red everywhere and HOT, she was itching herself bloody. She was sad and scared and yet wagging her tail. She is very subdued for a puppy, but it has only been a week. 
 Visited the vet and she is altogether a healthy girl and we are on the mend.
 She loves squirrels ALOT, and birds :-)She will need a few more weeks to heal and get spayed, but somebody out there is going to be one lucky family to get her!  She deserves to have a safe place to lay her head, and a family to call her own.Keep watching for my progress -  Enjoy my pictures

Updates

Sunday, November 30, 2014

It's been a few weeks since we posted an update on Oracle and we have a lot of news to share.  First, Oracle (formerly known as Ruby) is now known as Flicka.  More on that later.  She was with us for a few short weeks when she found a really nice forever family.  When she went to stay with them, the resident dog was not as welcoming as the family would have liked and they determined that Flicka really did need a fenced in yard, which they didn't have.  So, she is back with us and she settled right in very easily after a few short days away.

Why the name change?  Our resident dog's name is Rupert, and Ruby and Rupert were just too close and it was causing a lot of confusion here.  So, we changed her name to Flicka and she is already responding to it.  Flicka came back to our house in the middle of an afternoon of lefse baking and very quickly countersurfed a few pieces of lefse.  This cemented the name change to something Scandinavian -- if you haven't read the children's book series "Flicka, Ricka and Dicka", take a look.  They are great stories about mischievous Scandinavian girls. Since our last update, we've learned a few new things about Flicka.  First, she really, really, really loves squirrels and rabbits.  She emits a non-dog like sound when she spies a rabbit and can't reach it.  For this reason, it seems best if she does have a fenced in yard.  Second, despite her small size, she really must be part Golden Retriever as the counter surfing has moved into full swing.  So, we are going to work on that this week.  Flicka told me that the lefse haul from her recent counter surfing episode was really yummy, but I don't think it really qualified as healthy dog food.  Third, for a one-year old puppy, she is not super-high energy.  She definitely loves her walks and needs exercise.  She really loves running around and playing when she can get our resident dog to cooperate.  But, she doesn't need hours of exercise each day.  She's a pretty easy puppy to have around.  She definitely still likes to chew things, but with a proper amount of toys, she mainly stays away from most of our people stuff.  And, when she does get into people stuff, she carries it around but doesn't do much else with it -- for example, all the shoes in the house, remain intact.  Finally, she is really an affectionate dog.  She likes being around our older children and she won over our Thanksgiving guests, including a canine visitor that day.  She got a little barky when the visiting dog didn't want to play as much as she did, but she got over it it quickly. Flicka does enjoy having another dog around, especially one who likes to play.  But she did fine at home without another dog for a few days recently.  We think she could be fine alone or with another dog.Flicka is back in the market for her forever family.  Please talk to Placement if you are interested in meeting her.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY-K3c4rn00&feature=youtu.be

Oracle moved in with us just before Halloween.  I was a little nervous about all the strangely dressed little children showing up with a new dog around.  But, she took it all in stride and enjoyed Halloween, despite the fact that she didn't get any human treats.

Oracle goes mostly by Ruby at our house.  She is a very sweet little peanut of a dog.  She looks lab size in some of the pictures on the site, but she is definitely much smaller than that -- approximately 37 pounds.  She really is a great size dog to have around.  If you have a big dog already, and you really want two dogs, Ruby would be an easy addition and she wouldn't take up much space.  She loves to play, she is a good napper and pretty good on the leash.  One thing she really loves is hunting squirrels.  She flies off our back steps almost every time she goes out and she can sit at our screen door and just survey they back yard for long periods of time.  So, if you'd like to rid your yard of squirrels, Ruby would be a great help!

Ruby has some great qualities. She is really friendly and happy.  She is constantly wagging her tail and wiggling and happy to get attention.  She is potty trained.  No accidents at our house so far.  She likes to go for walks (more chances to meet squirrels, you know) and likes to play.  She'll chase balls but doesn't really get the "bringing them back" part yet.  She's pretty good at "sit", especially when there are treats around.  We'll keep working on that.  And, she is crate trained.

Ruby will be at Chuck and Don's in Edina on Saturday, November 8th.  She'd love to meet you there or let Placement know if you are interested in meeting her.

Hi everyone!!  I will be a Goldzilla so please stop by to see me.I am ready for my forever!!  I got spay last week and did just great.So my mites are all gone, but I am still struggling with itchy skin.  The vet says it is not unusual to be like this after such a bad case of mites and then a skin infection.So who is ready for a fun loving puppy, that gets along with other dogs just fine.  She does have an obsession with the squirrels.....wants them reaaaaaly bad!!She should not go to a home with a cat if it is not dog savvy, she loves to chase things that run!  Some of that might change with age.She is a good girl, and wants to please you!  Her tail is ALWAYS wagging.She is great on walks, she is crate trained.She is not a big fan of gun shots or thunderstorms.  She will just come in the house and snuggle up.  She does not have bad anxiety over either of themWell who want this little peanut girl??

Why do they run away I just wanna play with them...tee hee.I have NEVER had one accident in the house I do all my business outside. I bark to go out to do my business.I am a puppy and FM says I get into a lot of things such as the toilet paper roll but it is a very fun toy.  I love to talk when I am excited!  Breakfast and dinner are times when I love to bark at you until you feed. me.I am a very mellow girl, I get to sleep on the bed at night or I go sleep in a very large dog bed...(thanks Moose) and wait patiently for you to get UP!Love my toys and chew bones and anything that squeaks.  I have a toy bin and I just go over and choose a toy to play with, or two or three, I usually have them all over the floor.I love to go for walks, last walk I carried my green stuffed toy for most of the walk until I saw a NEW TENNIS ball in the street.  Then I carried the ball all the way home..Mom is teaching me to sit and I can come when called unless I see the squirrels, then I cannot hear YOU.I would be happy to have another dog to play with, I had some puppies here for a few days and FM says I was a little to rough.  I just need to learn!  I am a very smart girl :-)  Who want to be my forever?  I promise I will love you forever.

Hello to all you Oracle fans!!  My girl is just transforming!  She has gained weight and now her ribs are not showing!  She is a puppy through and through, however for a puppy she is very timid.  She  play's with Moose get's the puppy roomies, she loves to carry around my clothes (she does not eat them). She loves to carry a ball or toy in her mouth as well.She is completely potty trained, she has not had one accident since I have gotten her YIPPIE!!!  She will bark to go out, she will bark when she is thirsty and Moose is in the way drinking water, Moose of course will back off so she can drink.  I am sure because he does not want to listen to her barking at him. She is just precious, loves to snuggle with you and will lay across your lap or get in your lap. She does not like fireworks!  Runs to the door to go in but no anxiety issues just wants to get away from them. First thunderstorm, she snuggled with me in bed until the thunder was really loud and went under the bed for a little bit, then she came back up on the bed to snuggle and with some snuggles she cuddled in to feel comforted.  I am sure while out on the run by herself she had the 4th of July noises and experienced storms.  Her fear does not cause her to pant or pace or be destructive.Her mange is clearing up so nicely, she is still very itchy but another week or two I bet she will have some relief. She is not loosing her hair anymore so we are definitely on the mend.She is a perfect rider in the car, she lays down and rests.  I think she may still be a bit fearful of where she is going.  After a long trip from TN and a couple of fosters she is still nervous about where she is going.  Oracle was at the RAGOM event on Saturday and did just wonderful with all the dogs.  She would snuggle up on others laps for some love.I must say this girl is such a little hunter, every time she goes out she literally flies off the deck over the bushes to check out the squirrels over at the golf course.  Her foot goes up and she stands in the attack mode......She runs like a bunny :-)Oracle (aka RUBY) is really just as sweet as they come, she is petite about 38 pounds and is smart as a whip, quick as a bunny and loves you like a river overflowing!!  She will make some family very happy!Oh she walks really well on a leash and loves her walks with Moose and Nellie, at first Oraclle hide under a bush or scrub if strangers are coming.  You can tell she was stray by those behaviors of hiding out until they walkers or bikers have passed.  Last time we walked she did very well to stay on the path with the other two.  Moose is such a strong leader for her to follow, and he is showing her how to be a very confident girl.WHO would love to give this girl her forever?
