Foster Dog Journey

[coskigirl]

Good you!

Just to be clear, I'm not the foster family that adopted him but since I'd posted about his horrible injuries I wanted to update everyone.

Well, it looks like Belle is coming to join Ginzi and me for a few weeks on Friday. I'm excited but nervous as well since I've not had 2 dogs in my small condo except for a few minutes.

Look at that kissable face

Slumber Party!

Slumber Party!

I'm hoping for more slumber than party, at least while I'm trying to sleep. I'm hoping that she likes toys and will teach Ginzi that playing with them is fun.

 

[Bad Bob]

Our little Maltese cross doesn't play with toys either. He is 14 now and adopted us nearly 6 years ago. She spent 5 years in our home with Daisy a very active toy player to her last days but Max never took to them.
The boy had some tough sledding before he joined the household. At least 5 homes and 3 times in pounds that we could track down.
The point of this ramble is we don't know a lot an adopted dog's past and what long term behavior it caused. All you can do is love and accept them.

Ginzi is going to be so happy to have a sister. I wonder if Belle and Bandi will hit it off too. That would be sweet!

Belle has been here since Friday night. Unfortunately, she gets growly and we've had a couple of fights but I think it's mostly insecurity and stress because most of the time now they are buds and want to wrestle. It's also not helpful that we've had 2 off-leash dogs rush her which really triggers her. Her skin is very itchy, likely just dryness and poor nutrition so we're working on that with topical and internal coconut oil, internal salmon oil, sensitive skin food, and pajamas and a donut collar much of the time to stop her from scratching and licking. She clearly had babies fairly recently as well. She gets spayed on Wednesday then we'll get her up for adoption.

She's so beautiful. Hopefully she settles down.

Because Belle tends to growl when she first meets a dog and Bandi will react to that we haven't introduced them. While I think they could be great buddies, I'm just not sure how long it would take to settle Belle enough to start trying to introduce them.

Hope she finds a great forever home and can settle in, putting the rough days behind.

I managed to get a fun shot of Belle while she was playing today.

That needs to be one of her adoption ad photos.

Absolutely although I have someone interested already so she may not get an ad. Here’s a funny one of her and Ginzi.

Ginzi looks like she's yelling.

Belle is up for adoption and we have a meet and greet on Saturday. As fun as she is, I think Ginzi and I are ready to have our home back.

Her brown eyes are beautiful. I'm not used to seeing brown eyes like that.

Unfortunately, Belle isn’t feeling well and had a trip to the vet this morning. We have stopped the vomiting but she’s not eating much. She’s on a bunch of meds to help. Sadly, we had to postpone this morning’s meet and greet but they’ve texted to check in on her so that makes me want to meet them more.

She’s feeling lovey toward both Ginzi and me tonight.

How is Belle doing?

 

[coskigirl]

Oh! Sorry I haven’t updated. BelleBelle actually had a foreign object (pictured below) in her that she ended up pooping out on Monday. She’s been doing much better since. Now we just need to find her a furever family.
