Hi All,
Quickly before I head out of here, I thought I'd update folks on some new developments. I'll be moving tonight to Aunt Tina's for a little bit. She wants to see if my pooping is actually a training issue or maybe something wrong inside my tummy? *GULP* Either way doesn't sound too appealing but we'll see what we can find out up north.
She also wants to see if I'm a REAL turd-burger or just play one on TV. (hehe) I haven't been sharing well with my foster sister here even though we play well together otherwise. They think I need some "tough love"...whatever that means. We'll see how it goes and I'll keep everyone updated!
OH, they did say that there may be a family interested in me depending on how things turn out with Aunt Tina but if that doesn't work out, some firm rules we're going to stick to are:
~ NO children,
~ NO cats or small animals,
~ Bully experience to help me with my manners,
(pfffttt...they made me write that...I don't need no stinking manners!)
~ POSSIBLY no other fur-kids but we'll see.
So again, if things don't work out with the folks we're looking at, drop Aunt Tina a message and let her know that you're interested.
See Ya!

Dozer Update
Hi Everyone, sorry for the lack of posts for Mr. Dozer so here is one MEGA update:
He's quite the sweet and high energy boy looking for lots of attention. He's a lover and follows the people around and plays well with his foster fur sister now that they are used to each other. He did well at the dog park too.
He is house trained with peeing (no accidents or marking in the house) but he appears to be not poop trained. When he's gotta go, he GOES. He does hold it overnight and when left alone in his crate but free-run of the house and he will run off to do his business. He's polka-dotted from a skin infection he had when he was little but its not an issue any longer...his hair just grows in this funny pattern of dots.
What we've found in foster care that he needs is a home with:
~ No small children to knock over,
~ No small animals like rats, rabbits, (probably cats) etc.,
~ One other dog is ok as long as they are friendly and you're willing to introduce them properly and work through any issues, and
~ Owners who can help teach him pooping is for outside, and deal with the initial training period.
The owner who surrendered him said he had food allergies due to seeing his head shake after eating. He has only had one episode of this in over a week so we can't really say what it is. If we don't see this again in foster care, that may be something he'll need to have checked out by his new family at a later date.
If you are interested in Dozer, please be sure you have an application filed online and let me know that you're interested.
Thanks!
Tina :)

Welcome Dozer
Please welcome Dozer into CBRR! Dozer is an almost 2 year old boy who was surrendered by a nice family due to life changes which made them unable to care for him the way they wanted. Also still having his boy-jewels made him a bit hump-happy with their other family dog. Dozer made it through surgery to remove the little lima beans today and he's recovering nicely with his foster family.
Dozer also needs to be assessed due to the history of him having trouble eating along with recovering from his surgery. He is a polka-dotted bully which for him, is "normal". The good doc says he must have had an infection as a puppy and this is just the way his hair grows. Talk about being unique!!! Does anyone else have a polka-dotted bully? :)
Check back when we'll have better pictures of Mr. Dozer and for updates on his recovery and eating.
When he is ready he will not be shipped anywhere, please don't ask. Please have a current application on file before you contact us. Contact Tina for additional information.
