Bilbo Turns Ten and Becomes a Real Doggie


20120518Dogs (18 of 15) 
 Happy Belated Birthday to the Boney Man!! Although Mama thought he was ten last year, we made her look it up and he didn't turn 10 
until THIS year on May 17th!!! 



20120518Dogs (17 of 15) 
The funny thing is that during the last six months Bilbo has gone from cracker crazy dog, who didn't eat much and who Mama worried about ALL THE TIME into..... 



20120518 (1 of 3) 
NORMAL DOGGIE!!!!!  Here is that picture of him snuggling with me and Jakey....A year ago, it would have to be a pretty chilly day for him to even get on the couch with Mama!!



Here is Mama to tell you more.....you can go lay down, I think the rest is pretty boring (and NOT ABOUT ME!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems that ever since we started fostering that Bilbo has totally come out of his "Loner Shell". First and most importantly, he has gained 3 or 4 pounds and doesn't look emaciated any more! He is eating every night with Dory and Jakey (our fosters eat in a separate area) and is not shy about asking for his share of loving. 

Sounds like a normal puppy right?? We are so excited and happy about the change and whether it is the new dogs in the house or just that his elevator has fixed itself we hope that it sticks around for the duration!

Now Bilbo still hasn't stopped managing the household, and sometimes he still goes cracker dog when he doesn't get things he wants and he has a new trick of squishing himself through the rungs in the stairs to come upstairs when the dogs are "put to bed" (this is a BAD thing he learned from one of our fosters). Overall though, Bilbo has turned into a pretty stable pup!!


Here's to another 10 years Bilbo....Happy Birthday!!

Foster Friday!


HappyBluebonnetGirl
Me in the Boo-Bonnets last month

OK...so I told Mama now that school is out for awhile she best get on the ball and update everyfurries on how we are doin'! 

Of course she says okey dokey (like what choice did she have!!), but since it's Friday we have to tell the furries about our sister who is staying with us until she gets her furr-ever home.


20120518Dogs (16 of 4)
Poppy the 5 pound Chi-Pom mixer upper
 
This is Miss Poppy, the Princess in Training. 



20120518Dogs (18 of 4) 
Don't forget Poppy, squirrels are BAD!!!


Of course I have taken it upon myself to train her so she will be the best Princess ever when she finds her new humans.



Poppy Pop Pop - April-May 2012
Little Bitty Poppy Puppy


Miss Poppy is the first temporary sister we are fostering for Austin Animal Services. She was found with a boo boo on her leg and needed an O-P-E-R-A-T-I-O-N.  Since she was an itty bitty puppy (only 3 pounds) they needed to wait until she got a little bigger before fixing her up.




20120518Dogs (6 of 15)
Bigger Poppy (5lbs) after her leggie is fixed. 
Check out the cool scar! Her tattoo is on her tummy!

Sooooo that is where we came in! We took care of her for 10 days until she was ready to be fixed up and then last Friday Mama took her in and POOF, she came home with this cool scar AND Tattoo on Sunday!!



20120518Dogs (19 of 4)
Do NOT bitey face me Poppy....that is NOT proper Princess etiquette!

We could never tell that she had a boo-boo cause she has LOTS of puppergy and she can be heard for miles away when she gives us her "I want" bark!

Next Wednesday we take her back for her check up and when the doctor says she is all better ADA will have her available for adoption. Mama will let everybody know when she will be available on Petfinder!




20120518 (3 of 3)
Sleepy-Heads
As for us, we are all doing fantabulous! Mama has kept us busy babysitting lots of foster brothers and sisters while she was in school. Jakey and I are still BFF's (well, unless he goes after my bone!).



20120518 (1 of 3)

 Mama couldn't believe it when she saw Bilbo snuggling between me and Jakey!

Even Bilbo has been snuggling with all of us!

We will be making our way through Blogville in the next few days and are hoping that everyfurry is happy and healthy!!
