New Foster: Ben

[Freedom]

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?

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!

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.

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!!
