Beanie Averts a Major Disaster
Sometimes there are reasons for a dog to be with you and no one else. Beanie is a prime example. A little history for our newer members. Beanie was given to rescue just before Christmas Eve 2011 due to dog aggression. Because this is near me and It was so near the Holiday, I agreed to take him for the weekend as I didn't think it would work to have a dog aggressive dog with five Bostons at home. To make a long story shorter, turns out he is not dog aggressive in the home with the pack, only very high anxiety and never socialized.
Beanie is still very dog aggressive outside the home - that is one reason he is still here. But he has turned out to be the best alarm system I could ask for. Early on, my husband had some health issues and Beanie would know this and bark and bark until I cam e and took care of things. Two weeks ago, he saved us from a major disaster. He woke me up much earlier than usual by jumping at the bed and woofing at me - not really a bark but more to get my attention. Thinking he had to potty, I got up and took all dogs out. As I did I heard water running - a lot of it. couldn't find it at first, but Beanie kept going to the basement door. So I went down there and the boiler to the furnace had ruptured and water was pouring out all over the place. We were able to turn it off and now have a new boiler but Beanie's early warning system save us a major flood. We still had a mess to clean up but it would have been so much worse.
Beanie is hypervigilant all the time but it pays off. He is such a big lug, and knows when I am sad or when my hubby is not feeling well and brings us his toys - all of them. He has been know to empty the toy box at my feet in order to make me feel better. Beanie will be with us always, but he obviously earns his keep! lol.

Indigo is Adopted
Kristin had previously written: " 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."
Kristin
Kristin, many thanks again for all you have done for this wonderful boy! You truly were his savior!

Brendle is Adopted
Kristy Ieraci
Brendle is on his was home to Connecticut with his new family! They just love him and can't wait to get him home and start his new life. I am so happy for him! I'm going to miss his little under bite :-)
I got this email from Brendle's new mom this morning. They
had a long drive from Pittsburgh to Connecticut yesterday. They sent
this pic from their drive too. I think Brendle found the perfect family
with the Smethhursts :-)
"Morning!
After a long ride with some stops along they way, we got
home just after midnight. Brendle was so good! He laid in his bed the
majority of the time. We figure out when he started moving around a
lot, he needed to stop to go the bathroom. So he didn't have any
accidents either. You were right about dinner- he wanted nothing to do
with it. Once we got him home and gave him the tour around he started
to get so happy and you could stop his tail from wagging! We played with
some toys and he was as happy as can be. Far from the shy boy we met
earlier!! He slept great in the crate and not even a peep from him all
night. Thank you for taking such good care of him. You were super
helpful with all of our questions and I'm sure we will have more along the
way!"Yay brendle! This makes me soooo happy. Thanks, Kristy, for all that you did for him! You truly worked wonders for this beautiful boy.

Spike Gets Gifts
I would just like to say that Spike received a nice
package in the mail the other day from Jim & Stacie Kyle from
Northfield, NJ. I set it aside with plans to take a few photos of Spike
with the gifts. Well I went out the other day only to come home and
find all the gifts eaten and ripped up. Anyway, thank you for your
thoughtfulness and I am sorry there are no pictures to show.

He must have smelled the bully sticks!!
