New Foster: Ben

[pomtzu]

Welcome Ben!
Aww Sandie - I just love him. I guess he found a furever home. Foster???? - yeah - sure!


BTW - how's Dad doing?

[Freedom]

Dad is recovering slowly, making progress. Thanks for asking!

I can't believe how many people do NOT believe me that he is a foster, lol. You all know me TOO well!

[Alysser]

LOL, So basically you're saying you ADOPTED a new pupper Just kidding(I think?) Welcome to Pettalk, Ben! You're adorable, you'll love your foster mommy. Who would abandon that sweet face!

LOL, you know no one on Pettalk is truely a foster parent, right?

[cassiesmom]

A foster... Uh huh... Mm hmm... I'm thinking Ozzy Dozzy had a paw in this arrangement.

Ben, you are just adorable - welcome to your new-for-now home! I hope your spine problem does NOT turn out to be something worrisome.

And the last time I could tell the Freedom fluffs apart easily was when they were each wearing different Halloween costumes!

[Freedom]

Thanks Alicia and Elyse. Why oh why does nobody believe he is a foster??

Ozzy had a paw in this? Oooh what a lovely thought!

[chocolatepuppy]

Welcome Ben! I was shocked to see he was another Bichon. He's adorable!

[Freedom]

Welcome Ben! I was shocked to see he was another Bichon. He's adorable!

He hee, as I volunteer with a bichon rescue . . . . it sort of follows!

[dukedogsmom]

What a cute face he has. He looks like a happy dog. I hope his spine isn't really bad. Good for you for helping him.

[K9karen]

As far as I can tell, there's always room for one more permanent Bichon! If I was a betting woman.............

[RipplingWaves55]

Oh,
he's so pretty.
What a fluffy
little face.

Well, apparently the bichon experts at SPR HAVE heard of "spondylosis," and they are quite unhappy. They tell me this is a degenerative disc disorder which worsens with age. Also guessing he "may" have a herniated disc. So we see xrays in this dog's future. This is NOT a good sign at all. No

After spending his nights in a mud room for the past 4 or 5 months, since his "Dad" died, Ben was THRILLED when I lifted him up onto my bed for the night. He romped and rubbed against me, did the digging in the blankets that they all do when I initially put them up there, and snuggled next to me a lot. Unfortunately for Sugar, Lacey and I, he is a "bed hog!"

Oh, Ben is a sweetheart! If he feels so at home at your home, I think it means he is supposed to be there --furever! However, I also know how expensive it gets with dogs with medical problems so..... Like the others, I have a little trouble telling yours apart. They are all so fluffy and white and soft looking. Isn't it amazing how a little dog can take up a whole bed so everyone else has hardly any room?

[Logan]

He is adorable! I hope his back problem is something that can be cured. I will say a prayer for him. He has a GReat name, by the way! I have a wonderful Ben who also came through rescue. He's just a lot bigger!

[Ginger's Mom]

What a great face! He sure is a cutie. Please give Sugar, Lacey and Marlin extra scritches from me for being so accepting of this new "foster." Wow, he got to sleep in an bed last night? What a lucky boy he is. He isn't going to want to leave. Fingers crossed that the spine problem isn't as bad as it may initially appear.

[pomtzu]

I sure hope Ben is going to be okay. I have the same spine disorder, and it is manageable in people, so I'm saying a prayer for Ben. He looks like such a sweetie.
I just love the Bichon breed. My ex and his lady friend have one and he is such a sweetheart - the dog that is - not the ex!!
