DIY Coconut Oil Treatments


Hi;
Found these Do It Yourself treatments with coconut oil. I have used the Lip Balm (minus the red palm oil) for Jaxx's nose as it stays cracked most of the winter. So far, no cracks this year!
There may be a few other uses you can try on your dogs (coconut oil body treatment), but I know everyone has coconut oil on hand and thought I'd share.

New Foster Hattie

I just wanted to update everyone on Hattie.

She is one of the three that were surrendered by the backyard breeder in Rochester after an attack on one of her other dogs; she's the one with 3 legs. Joan and Jess drove hours yesterday to get her out of the shelter before Xmas! (I had the shortest drive time at 3 hours to give perspective! Thank you ladies!)

Anyhow, Hattie is settling in nicely. She was just spayed on Monday, so I am keeping her very confined. It makes it a no brainer to keep her separated from the other dogs. When you come close to her, she wiggles her whole back end. It's so cute! She seems very gentle and loving. She likes squeaky balls and chewies.
I've picked her up to get her in and out of the car, but I've been trying to limit that now due to her incision. She is wonderous the way she gets around on just three legs. She has to hop rather than walk. She manages the stairs in and out of my home to use the restroom. She's truly amazing! Again, I've been limiting this activity to the minimum because she was just spayed.

I can't even guess how she lost her leg. It is healed so well, it must have been years ago- despite the fact that she's only 3 years 11 months. She came with AKC papers, so it seems that is all that the former owners cared about- breeding her, missing leg or not.

Last but not least, she came with nothing but a tiny collar. I would like to set up a wish list for her if anyone can point me in the right direction. She could really use a harness, dog bed, and squeaky toys. I'm glad her life of breeding is behind her. Send this little lady lots of love!

Best,
Sandee Herrington

Romeo Likes to Watch TV

A hearty welcome to the new NEBTR members. You have joined a dedicated and caring group of people.

I live in Delaware and am fostering Romeo, who is a young boy (about a year and 1/2), and who is very nervous around strangers. I learned something more about him tonight--he likes television shows about dogs! We were watching the movie about Hachi (the dog from Japan who met his master at the train station every day and continued coming to the station for 9 years after his master had died). Romeo kept jumping off the couch and to go to the TV for a closer look. I've tried to include the photo. I'll also attach a file (as I've not had good luck with including photos showing up). Hopefully you'll be able to see it!

More on Leroy - Week 5 in Foster Care

Good morning!

Today makes 5 weeks that Leroy has been in our care.  Thought I would give an update on this amazing little guy.

We have mastered sitting, using the crate, mobility continues to improve with little to no issue. Appetite is good. Continues to do well around children and other dogs ... and most importantly loves cuddles.

Attached is one of my "favorite" pix of this little guy. Who wouldn't want this guy? I know I do and I am trying really hard not to be a foster failure. :)

Duncan's Happiness



Duncan had a lot of issues when he came into my foster care back in March 2014, and I hate to say that most of his issues still exist, despite our many efforts. He has good days and he has bad days. However, no matter how bad the day is, we still end it the same way every night by crawling into bed together and falling asleep nestled against each other. Duncan is a very anxious dog and has become extremely attached to me. I like to call him my shadow – he doesn’t like to leave my side. Even in the home, I must let him know when I am leaving the room so he knows to follow me or else he will start crying until I come find him. 

But this isn't all about Duncan. My family also wouldn't be complete without Duncan in it. I can't imagine a day without him and I look forward to every day I have to look forward to spending with him in the future. It may have taken 14 years for Duncan to find where he always belonged, but I know we will make each other happy for the rest of his fragile life.


I really want to thank the volunteers at NEBTR for changing the lives of dogs like Duncan. I hate to even think of other dogs who are tossed to the side and never given a second chance. NEBTR has changed my outlook on Senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I am so grateful for each and every one of you, no matter what your role is for NEBTR, for giving these precious souls a second chance at life.

Love,
Alyssa and Duncan
Saint Marys, PA

What a wonderful story. 
Congratulations on the adoption! - Chris

I am so happy for Duncan I could cry!  He is a very lucky boy! - Loretta

This is the best news ever!!! So happy for you both! Duncan has indeed hit the lottery when he got to you. - Stacie

Pangya!

Photo and Video of Spikey





Spikey opened up his Secret Santa box today and was so, so, so excited! He immediately took out the red tennis ball and pranced all over the house with it. When he realized he had another tennis ball and a squeaker toy, he was elated! I was hardly able to get his new coat on him. Here are some pics of Spikey going through his box, posing for a toy, and playing with his squeaker toy. The soft, chewy treats are perfect for his sensitive teeth! Thank you so much, Karen L.! You've made Spikey a very happy boy!

Photos of Bubba's Christmas













Bubba just got a package in the mail! He is so excited. He may be blind and mostly deaf, but his sniffer certainly works. He couldn't wait to check out his goodies. Bubba got everything on his Christmas wish list!!! A harness, a handsome fido fleece sweater, bully sticks, a stocking full of treats. I can't believe how generous secret Santa Moreen was!!

Thank you so much!! And thank you to Kristy for organizing the Secret Santas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!
Sandee HerringtonHe hasn't stopped chewing one of his new Bully Sticks for almost an hour! For a more mature gentleman that had 7 teeth removed last month, I'm so glad he still enjoys a good chew!

Duncan is Home for the Holidays

Congratulations to Duncan, who is truly home for the holidays.  You see, his foster mom Alyssa Renwick has decided that she is too in love with him to ever part with him, so he will life for the rest of his life with her.  Isn't that a wonderful gift for Duncan - and for Alyssa!

A Special Christmas Gift



Thanks for all the good wishes for Goldie.  The biopsy showed a MAST cell tumor growing rapidly so it was a good thing we removed it.  Vet said clean  margins and we caught it  early so no need for anything further.  Her  mouth is definitely feeling better today  She gobbled up her   breakfast  and wanted to play.  Jerrilyn, I think you set me up on this one! LOL.  But I am glad you did.  I do not know who was more worried during her  surgery - me or my husband. I think he asked me every ten minutes if I had heard from the vet and then it was   how  soon can we go get her.  He even insisted on driving to the vet so I could hold her on the way home.

He was holding her later that night and looked at me and said - "you know we have to keep her".   but then he scolded me with " You can't bring home any more cute dogs!!!" She is home for the Holiday.   She is indeed my little Christmas gift.

I got this special Christmas gift yesterday when David said we would keep Goldie our tiny foster. He didn't want any more dogs but fell in love with her as I had already done. It would have broken my heart to give her up but I think he knew I needed her. I got my puppy in Chelsie and my tiny girl Goldie. Thanks your Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue for bringing Goldie into my life and thank you David for letting me keep her. Joan   Ontario NY

Oh that is WONDERFUL!!! I am so happy for you and Goldie and so happy she is home for the holidays! How truly lovely for all of you... Stacie
