Indigo is Being Adopted
My sweet little boy Indigo is being adopted on Sunday. I am already
so sad and don't know how I'm going to be when they pull away with him.
He is going to a wonderful couple that can't wait until he is with
them! His new mom is an R.N. And his new fur sister has a seizure
condition so they have lots of experience in that field. I will take
lots of pictures and post them next week. It has been a long five months
but I'm proud of what Tanya and I (and our supporters) did for him and I
know he is going to have a wonderful life with this family. I will
update soon.

Thank you so much for all that you have done for Indigo on his journey with use. You truly were there for him at his darkest time, and I believe that he is with us is due, in large part, to your love and care.
Hi, Sophia! I'm a New Foster Sister!
-- Sophia
She is just beautiful and she seems really down to earth : )
Great job and welcome Sophia and Erika!!
Sophia was a really really naughty girl when I got her, so if you are charged with one yourself, good luck and hold out! It's worth it, and all the more rewarding. By the time she was a year I was her third home, not including two shelters. Destructive, food and dog aggressive, fear biter, would dart out the door if could (and run for blocks, holy crap!), had accidents inside, afraid to be held/handled, kids, men, leash puller, you name it. Now she's one of my best friends – not that she's ditched all her antics or strong will, but it's hard to get mad watching her stalk and plot theft of a pizza crust or give a flippant look when a smell is too good to leave when being called. Hopefully she can communicate to fosters these are the perks of being good and finding their forever homes. :)

"Because I'm Happy"!
Wade is such a happy guy. He's happy when it's time to eat, he's happy
when it's time to go outside, he's happy to go on car rides, he's happy
ALL the time!
Here he is with his happy face sleeping. What's not to love about this
little freckled guy? :)

Cayo is Sitting Pretty
The boys got their stitches out last night and they were perfect patients. Such awesome boys.
I had to laugh, the little pink chair is my daughters and we were going to get rid of it but all the animals love it including Cayo. Guess we will put new material on it to match the decor and keep it as a pet bed. :)
Have a great night

Silas is Adopted!
By me!!!
I went back and forth a million times trying to decide what to do. I wasn't sure because of his dog aggression issues. I wanted the best for him. He is a grumpy old man who I have come to love dearly inspite of his peeing on things he shouldn't. He sometimes poops the bed ( with me in it ) sometimes he poops when he barks. Lol! His bath regiment of 2 per week. His coconut oil massage and special diet. He is bald, has a peg leg and a dry eye. What can I say, he's a keeper. He is trying to be a good boy and at any sign of aggression he goes in the big gate I have. I just love the guy. I want to thank Vicki and Tammy for putting up w me. I'm greatful to be a part of such a great group.

More on Wade
Wade has arrived at his new foster home in the center of apple country
in PA. He is eating well, napping, taking walks and is being an all around
great guy. He's fitting in very well. He hasn't made mention of that
Louie guy once.Wade does something that, I must admit was shocking the first time, but I've come to enjoy it now that I know what's coming. He will jump into my lap, put his front paws over each of my shoulders and put his face
directly in mine. It's a HUG! It's an in your face, look at how much I love you, hug! :)
His tail....what a riot that is. It looks like a water valve. It's shaped like an "L" and the bottom part of the "L" wags like crazy when he's happy. I guess it puts me in mind of a windshield wiper on hyper
drive! :)
He might be 10 years old, but I don't think he knows it. He's as active as my 2 and 5 year old dogs.
More Wade updates to follow.
Chris & Wade
And we're told that if you stand and call him, he will leap right into your arms!
Milo Update
I got a very cute picture of Milo and his brother Toby. Milo is in the
front! It is just about three months since he has been adopted!

Louie is Better and Feels Like a Million Bucks
Louie slept great and woke up feeling like a million bucks
today! He is finally getting back to his old self. To prove it (maybe to
himself), he destroyed 2 stuffed toys before breakfast! Some of it may
be just for show...I did see him looking longingly at Wade's food dish
while he munched his raw rabbit kibble.
But time heals all things, and I have no doubt that Louie will be ready to get back in the game very soon!

Welcome new foster Angie!
Hello all! Angie was brought over to my house last night. She's a 10 year old lady who seems more like 6...she's active, in shape, and only a little grey. She reminds me of my first foster Sherry (except a thinner version of my little pork chop Sherry!). She is very friendly with adults and I was told she's great with other dogs. She wasn't at all affected by my two resident dogs on the other side of the gate... Though they were very interested in her!
She is microchipped and it helped get her home a few weeks ago when she ran off. She is very smart and knows a bunch of cute tricks! She is getting a little more comfortable but has spent the majority of her time sitting in front of the door waiting for her owner to come back. She was with her past family for 8 years who adopted her from a shelter so it's a very hard separation for Angie and her previous owner.
Angie also came to my house right after leaving the vet yesterday because their other dog bit her and her right ear has about an inch split through it. She is currently on an antibiotic and a pain medication due to the injury. I'll keep you all updated on her progress as I get to know this little cutie better!! Here's a few photos :)

As the World of NEBTR Turns...
For those of you following the story of our foster Louie, his eye issues and his foster mom's patient love and caring of this boy - we have a Pupdate!!
Well folks, Louie got the all clear (finally!) From the eye specialist! No more meds, no more cone!
Of course now we have an ear infection we have to treat, but after that we are READY TO GO!
YEAH!

Stay tuned for our next episode when Louie is no longer wearing his cone!!
Our Foster Boy Max - Behaving Well!
When I went to the Quakertown event evidently I didn't latch his cage correctly. I always fill his Nylabone with peanut butter and treats. I put toys in there that he likes the best to keep him occupied. I was gone from 7:45 am until nearly 2:25 pm. I have never even left him alone that long. Well to my surprise Max greeted me at the door and I was shocked to say the least but my heart sank!!! I thought OH MY.......I was expecting to see the trash dumped out all over the house, the couch chewed up, and pooo and pee everywhere. NOTHING Absolutely nothing was touched and no messes at all.
Now that I know he's a good boy I will start leaving him out for a hr or two at a time and see how he does and hopefully he doesn't need to be crated. That will make such a HUGE difference to the adopters who want Max. I left him out of his crate when I went to run errands today and shop for groceries and nothing was touched. I was gone for about and hr and a half or so.

Way to go Max! What a good boy - you are learning fast!
Wade and Louie Part Ways
Wade is all fresh and clean and ready to meet his new foster mama, the fabulous Chris Cassner later today!
Wade and Louie have developed some irreconcilable differences, and have decided it is best they go their separate ways.
It was fun while it lasted, and they shared some tender happy moments: sunbathing, lick fests, tickle fights, but Louie's injury was too much of a strain on them both.
It started with small tiffs brought on by Louie's lack of interest in Wade's toys and chewies, and was fueled by Louie's declining self image following the appearance of his Cone of Shame. His once proud face now hidden behind a plastic veil of sadness and pain. Eventually the fighting got worse and worse, they both said a lot of things they can't take back, and their relationship has gotten to the point where too much resentment has surfaced, and so much trust has been lost that it just can't be fixed. They both knew it couldn't last, they come from two different worlds. Wade is a distinguished retired writer from an old money family, Louie is a retired boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. A tough guy with a heart of gold just waiting for the right one to complete him. They could never make it work.
Louie is going to take some time to heal, work on some relaxation techniques, and hopefully build back up his self esteem once the cone is removed. He plans to start working out and getting back to his healthy routine as soon as he can.
Who knows what the future will hold for them both? I wish Wade all the best in his new accommodations, and in his search for true love.

NEBTR at the Quakertown Vet Clinic
I met Cynthia and her husband Craig. I also met Dawn who has Benny and I met Coco's mom.
When my customers found out they started donating for the event. My goodness my landlord even made a donation!!!!! . Anyhoooo it was great I met so many wonderful people and their animals. The kissing booth was barely up before the people were wanting kisses SCOOBY WAS A KISSING FOOL!!!!!:) He wasn't bashful at all and he cared less whether man woman or child he was going to kiss them all. I was so proud of my little guy he never failed to give a kiss to those who wanted it. Even the babies had to giggle once he gave them a kiss.
Craig's Boston and Scooby were side by side giving out kisses they got along great together. I was able to raise $220.00 from my customers, and Cynthia sold her famous jelly, so added to that what we made at the event brought it to a total of $445.00 so hopefully that will help take care of a couple babies coming into our care in need of medical assistance.
I handed out the cards that I purchased from Chris and put my name and number on the back to anyone I thought truly was thinking about adopting or fostering they could call me. Had to finally leave about 1:30 or so when Scooby started laying on the table I think his kisser was about kissed out. But Scooby and I had a really GREAT GREAT TIME!!!!
Bonnie Towner
Wow!!! That sounds incredible!! Go Team NEBTR! Bonnie - that was a lot of money you raised from your customers and then the kissing booth and Cynthia's jelly! - how wonderful!! Special thanks to Cynthia and Craig for organizing this - they always knock it out of the park!
NEBTR Thanks Nylabone
NEBTR thanks Nylabone for their wonderful gifts for our fosters. They have contributed all the chews and treat items shown above so that our babies can come into their foster homes with a Nylabone addition to their foster packages.
Special thanks to Denice Schnaak for coordinating this gift, and to Stacie Kyle for sending out the foster packages!
Remembering Benji and Gunther
The (7) of us gathered, we prayed, said

volumes. Their paws prints are left on our hearts forever!
