Hello Everyone!
We are so excited to have our first foster, Otto!! He is such a good boy and very handsome! He is coming out of his shell a little more each day. I think he is happy in his new surroundings. So far he loves his new beds and enjoys laying around in the sun & snoring. (Typical BT!!).
He came to us in pretty good condition. He is well fed and was just a little bit stinky. He is very flinchy and skittish when approached or if you move too quickly. He also panics when you go to pick him up. But these are becoming less as well. He is going to get some much needed medical attention, tons of love and learn lots of new things, like his name for starters!!
Thanks Deb for your vote of confidence! Erica, please tell your daughter he's doing great. Here is a picture of him fresh from a bath, new collar on & basking in the sunshine.
Will keep you updated on his progress!!

Today Otto and Lola went to the Groomer. Otto got a full body massage and coat conditioning. He also got his nails cut so he no longer resembles Edward Scissorhands!! He did great and all the ladies fell in love with him. He got tons of kisses, some pizza crust and a snazzy Autumn bandana!!
When we got home, we stood outside for a bit and I put his leash on him. I didn't pull him or say anything. I held it really loose and low and he started WALKING!!! We walked down the entire street and back home again. It took us a really long time, but he did it!! We practically gave him a parade when he came inside!!! This is such a huge accomplishment for him and we've only had him for one week.
I'm such a proud Foster Mama!! Now him & Lola are sleeping because its really hard work getting pampered.
