Another Cassie! How wonderful that Cassie and Buddy were able to be rescued after their owner died. I hope they will go to a good home where they will be fed proper diets and receive affection and love. Freedom, you are an angel for doing this!

luvpets2002, I just can't as they don't like cats. We have to keep them on leash even in the house and often we have to keep them in a room alone so we can get things done. It is not fair to the dogs.

They are going to their new foster home later today so I've been taking pics like mad!

Yesterday was a hard day, as it was pouring rain here until about 6 PM. So we couldn't even put the 4 dogs outside for a bit and give the cats a break. Once the rain stopped, we took them for a walk. I took Cassie on the same route I use for Sugar and Lacey. She is a bit slower than them, but she loved walking and sniffing all the wonderful smells. Dad took Buddy for a shorter walk, about 1/3 the route. He did great! He had to stop and "christen" every post, utility pole, and tree. Typical male dog, he he. Dad said there was one utility pole near the end of the route almost 1.5 feet inside from the curb. Poor Buddy was too tired to get up the curb but stared at the pole wistfully for a bit! Once they were both back home, they slept for half an hour! We had some peace, he he. Overnight was MUCH better. The first night, I got about 3 hours sleep. Cassie keep whining and barking. And one of them pee'd. This second night, they understood they sleep in that room alone (not a great love of bichons; they'd rather be with you) and Cassie called me at 5:30 to let them out. Then they went back in their room for the rest of the sleeping time.

Cassie is a spit fire and once back in shape she is going to be a wonderful pet!




Then I wanted some of all four pups. Hahahaha. What an experience! First I got Buddy, Cassie and Sugar in the same general area


Then I had to convince Lacey this was a good idea.




Got a good one!


This morning I only did 2 walks. One the full route, with Sugar, Lacey and Cassie. Then a second shortened route for Buddy. What fun!

Cassie and Buddy will be going to a foster home in Connecticut this evening. There are no cats there, so they will be fine. I really wish it had worked out as they are wonderful dogs!

Thanks for fostering these two cuties! I hope they can find a great forever home.

I loved the pictures, especially the group ones!!

I took 2 more vids of Buddy on his walk with Dad. The first one is leaving, then on his return. You can see he slowed down a bit.





I never got them to the vet; their new foster will handle all that. I am still unsure if this is "just" his weight causing him to walk this way. I suspect there is more going on though.

Hope you enjoyed!
