Caius Reciperating From Surgery

Ciaus had surgery yesterday to remove his cherry eye. Everything went well with the surgery. He has to go back on Tuesday for a recheck and he's getting an ointment in his eye two times a day. I was in the conference room talking to the vet about his surgery and when the vet tech brought him into the room he jumped on top of the coffee table and right into my lap! He knocked everything off the coffee table but we all just laughed at him ! He is going to be adopted next week by Mercedes Kemery, who is a wonderful match for him. Here is a picture of him recovering from surgery and his foster sister Ember taking care of him!

RIP Boxter Taggart

Dear Friends at NEBTR—
Thank you all for the sympathy card, it means a lot to us.
Our Baxter was 13 1/2, and was in relatively good shape until very recently. He went blind about 3 years ago, but had wonderful care from Dr. Alexandra van der Woerdt, a canine ophthalmologist at the Animal Medical Center, who enrolled Bax in a genetic study of corneal edema in Boston Terriers. We hope his participation in that research will help put an end to the condition in our beloved breed.
It was because of Baxter that I realized how important NEBTR is. I knew that if anything happened to me and my husband, we would want someone to take care of our old, blind boy—but surely it would not be easy to find someone to take on a dog who was no longer young and had a permanent health condition. Yet this is what the angels of rescue do every day, and for dogs in much worse shape than our Bax. When I realized that, I signed up to volunteer.
Our friend Kim has made a donation to NEBTR in honor of Baxter, which was very kind of her. We will do the same, and I've suggested on Facebook that Baxter's other friends contribute, if they're so inclined. Please know how very much your good work is appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
-Bronwyn Taggart

More on Omar and Zoey

We picked up Omar & Zoey from Carolyn McCarthy earlier today. So far, they are just the absolute sweetest babies. I put a basket full of toys in their room and Zoey took each one out and hid them in her bed. Omar has made himself quite comfortable on our rocking chair. They seem very interested in the other dogs in the house, sniffing them through the gate. More to come as we get to know them!! Omar is the first picture and Zoey is the second.

Amanda McLean

So glad they are safe. Thanks for taking them in Amanda!Thank goodness they have each other and you!

Buster is not old!

RIP - Sparky NYC

Lost but not forgotten. NEBTR members were drawn to Manhattan Center to try to save Sparky but it was too late. Rita stayed with him during his final hours. Sparky's legacy is that he drew us there where 3 were saved, Jelly Bean and our two featured Omar and Zoey. You were a good boy, if you want to wait at the bridge for me I would be honored, but I am certain you want to wait for Rita, and that's ok. Run free little man.
