Otis pictured above with a rescue pup named Bam Bam.
Otis did a great job at the event I was at over the weekend. He played with 9 4-7 year old kids for over an hour. He adores them. It's too cute. He cried for hours after they left. Broke my heart. He just wants to be surrounded with people and other animals all the time. Precious boy. He can be alone about 2 hours now before he starts digging himself, and he isn't chewing his feet anymore. We are getting there. I think being handled by different people is helping him. Otis is a very special boy. Seeing him become more confident he won't be abandoned and that people come back is so rewarding. He's got the best faces.... He's super expressive.
I can't believe Otis is 29lbs now :) He was 11 when we got him. Now he's a big muscle brick house. Ava should be a doggie personal trainer. She gives him quite the workout. Ava is our 1 1/2 yr old apricot brindle Boston terrier. She was supposed to be 11 lbs, but is 19 lbs of muscle. She is super high energy and is just pure love. She and Otis (& Fernando the dog-kitten hybrid lol) are non stop all day. Gives the rest of the guys a break.
Love you all!
