Why I Love My Dog

Update on Charlie

 

Our life with Charlie is great. We love him immensely. 

He is an adorable and special dog.  He's good with everyone. On the smaller side for a Boston, people often think he's a puppy.  He'll always be our baby.

Thank you so much Gary for the donation you made to NEBTR.
Charlie looks right at home.
Thank you for giving him a loving home and all the love
that he deserves.

Update on Hank

 

Hi everyone!

Brad and I fostered Hank last year, and ended up adopting him after we realized just how wonderful he is.  This summer, we went to the Canadian Rockies for about a month, and we brought both Hank and his stepbrother Charlie with us.  We thought you'd get a kick out of some of these photos from our trip.  Hank is just about the most chill dog you'll ever meet, but he sure does love food, his ball, and car rides.  :)

Looks like Hank has it made in the shade.  Thanks for the update.  It's always nice to hear the Happily After part of the adoption story.

Update on Elena

 

Krista Dooley:

 

It's my 2nd Anniversary with Elena and THIS is the face I wake up to and come home to every day. Thank you NEBTR for bringing her into my life. I am eternally grateful!

Yesterday was my 2nd anniversary with Elena!  We've had two years of wonderful times together.  She is now 10 years old, but you would never know it!  She has more energy then she knows what to do with.  Fortunately, she has a huge basket of toys, but she favors her old, shredded fire hoses which she loves to play fetch with.  Her only downfall is she cannot tell time....especially on the weekend!!  She's up same time as every day, 5:30 am, toy in mouth, ready to start the day!  No matter what, she brings a smile to my face a thousand times a day and she feels like home to me.  Thank you NEBTR, for bringing Elena into my life!

Sincerely,

Krista & Elena

Spike is Cute

This coming Monday Spike gets his neuter stitches taken out.  He surprises me all the time with his cute antics. For instance,
today, every time I left a room I'd hear this swish, swish sound coming behind me. It was Spike dragging his bed to put beside me so he could lay down in comfort. So funny! That bed has been in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and right now it's in the spare bedroom where our computer is! I'll attach a photo of him in it. It didn't seem to matter if the bed was upside down, inside out or what....he just wanted that bed in the same room with me.

Tonight, for the fist time, Spike fell asleep for 2 hours in my lap. Most times he goes to sleep in his bed, or starts out in my lap and after 15 minutes of that, he's off to sleep in his bed. But tonight while we watched a movie, he didn't want to leave my lap at all. I was able to take some photos of it. :)

Spike = cute :)
Next update soon!

Otis Says Thanks for His Gifts

 

 

Thank you so much for the fun chewie items you sent to Otis - what are they (the stick type) - they're a HUGE hit!

I took a few pictures - it's hard to capture him - he's a bit of a ball of energy but you'll get the idea!

Thank you so much, that was so incredibly nice of you.

Warmly,

Sarah and Otis

Pets As Children?

New Study Finds Dogs Similar to Children

By vetstreet.com | Pet

By Amy Sinatra Ayres

It's no surprise that many dog owners think of their pup as their child. But what may be more surprising is a new study that finds that dogs feel the same way - they react to their owners in a way is strikingly similar to the way children react to their parents. 

The behavior is rooted in the bonding that happens when pooches think of their protectors as a "secure base" that gives them confidence and safety, according to a new study by researchersUniversity of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, that was published in the journal PLOS ONE. 

In an experiment, researchers found that dogs were more interested in working for treats when their caregivers were in the room. "One of the things that really surprised us is that adult dogs behave towards their caregivers like human children do," said the study's author, Lisa Horn. - Read it atToday

Plus: On the heels of that study, the results of a new poll from Public Policy Polling on how Americans view pets may not be so surprising. The poll finds that 52 percent of those asked prefer dogs, 1 in 5 prefer spending time with their pets to spending time with other people and a third said they let their pets sleep in the bed with them. - Read it at National Geographic
