A Fluffy Dog

Even though Miss Roxie's personality is coming through, at this time this is still a favorite activity. Well if we can call it an activity. She recently started on antibiotics to beat her "cold" so shortly may gain some more spunk. I know careful what we wish for.  Snoozing on my donated bed, thanks generous person. If you do not stop taking my picture I am going to stick my tongue out at you.OK, I warned you.

Button nose,cute! Well hello, I love treats. They left her head mostly untrimmed. Miss Moptop Best shot of her splashes of white on chin and chest. Too bad it is blurry.     The many looks of ROXIE.She looks different depending on how she holds her ears. She perked up quite a bit after feeling so tired with a upper respiratory issue the first few days. Now she follows us around the house. She had her matted fur shaved off before coming to WI. With this cold weather she needed a coat! I am guessing she may not love our winters, but who knows. She has been a trooper and let me bath her, Dremel her nails, clean her ears daily. She knows to potty outside. Pees on grass but has the weird habit of pooping on our cement patio. That should be easy to change.

Roxie has arrived. Sweet face This little one has been through alot I guess. Ended up in a shelter after losing her home and the love of her owner as they recently died. She has a great personality and zeros right into the softest dog bed so was cared for at one time. Maybe her care went downhill as her person could no longer keep up with her because of their failing health? Grooming needs not kept up with and well,overfed some crummy food. Sad eyes, wonder what she is thinking?  Ears a mess. She is what we are lovingly referring to as a 'pudgesickle' currently. Cannot even walk or run as she should. One step is too much to hop up.  She will soon enough though as we went through this with an earlier foster Alberta. She is now our own dog and we call her Birdie.  My husband and Roxie hit it off right away. Our three dogs also each gave their tail wagging seal of approval. I know how to pick the sweetest ones. And Brian said no more foster dogs for awhile, ha she wo

What do smeared glasses and Lola have to do with each other? Well she has decided to become a kissy girl. She was giving the occasional light little nose lick but now she wants to plant juicy wet ones on us!  She is soon to share those kisses with her new people Sue and John. That is if they decide to take her home after meeting her. How could they resist, though the eyebrows of their friends and family may raise when they mention she has mange. It is getting better and in no time she should have no more trace of her crummy past. Enjoy a few (maybe last) pictures. Ignore those green eyes, just me not knowing how to fix that on the camera. Treat, did you say treat lady? Showing off my pretty hair color. Sitting pretty. I am good at that! This is me waiting for my meal, I inhale it like a vacuum cleaner, yummy stuff.   

Is she cute or what? Lola in profile. She has an application already, can't be, we hardly have had our time with her.  Where did that bird go, I was so close to catching it. I love my fleece chewies Miss mischief the moppet head 

Welcome Lola! Lola came to our home August 7th. Met our three dogs with no concern and proceeded to check out our fenced in yard. Yea, a little freedom for her to go exploring. Into the house we went and like a laser she zoomed in on to our dogs beds. Thought and still thinks these are toys to be shook up. No, no little one we sleep on these. She is much like a puppy yet and needs guidance as to what goes in her mouth to chew and what does not. She loves toys, balls, even sticks outside. Makes games up for herself by flipping them up into the air. She is a goofy, playful little clown. Has lots of energy and will not be content to sit home alone all day and go out for 10 minutes before coming back in and sleeping while you watch TV all night. Nope she wants to play! We do not know her breed. She is longer than tall like a doxie and weighs only 16 pounds currently. Her front legs are bowed out a bit like a shitzu. She has many different shades to her coat and has a tail with a plume

In between foster dogs  I am going to share some  pictures of the dogs we have fostered so far. Brian and I have enjoyed them all and their unique personalities. It is bittersweet to see them go to their forever families. We always enjoy getting an update from the new families about how they are doing. The pictures we get make us smile. So here they are: Daphne, Saunders, Ginger(beautiful girl we wanted to keep. sadly she became very ill and we decided to euthanize), Alberta(we kept her and now call her Birdie), Fritzi, Fluffy, Strawberry, and the first one we fostered Milo. What a bunch of sweet and gorgeous Fluffy Dogs!
