Cappy and Boo - 1 Month Foster Report

Cappy & Boo have been with me for one month as of 3/24/16 and they have come a long way. Both have had their respective surgeries and are now recuperating very well. There is an issue with Boo’s Liver and the Vet suspects Cushing's Disease. I need to get a urine sample but that has not been easy. They will not be ready for adoption until that issue has been resolved. He goes back to the vet in 2 weeks.

Both boys are a part of my pack and get along with everyone. They love other dogs and people and are very loving & cuddly. They have found their space on my bed and Jaxx (GSD) has his space and no problems. I just discovered that Boo also likes to get down under the blanklets which is not a Dalmatian trait, but a BT trait. His momma was a pure bred BT. I did some investigative work to try to determine Cappy’s actual age. I called the Vet whose name was on his original Rabies tag from 2011 and he was still there. He told me the green tag from 2011 was a 1 year tag and Cappy was probably a puppy about 3-4 months old.  That means he was born around Sept. or Oct. of 2010 making him 5 ½ years old. I gave him a birthday of Oct. 1st, 2010 so now we do know his age.

Both boys are house broken for the most part (there have been a couple of accidents) and know where to go outside as shown in the attached pictures. My Jaxx is never very far behind them.

Cappy is such a handsome boy with his white face, black ears and black/brown brindle body and of course that tuxedo. Boo is just adorable and although he doesn’t look like a BT we did discover that he is 50% BT. His momma was a purebred BT and his papa a Dalmatian and he was born on 1/13/2004 along with his 2 siblings,  making him 12 years old. They are never far apart.

Cappy Goes to the Vet

Cappy went in to the Marcy Vet Clinic in Marcy, NY for his Neuter, full dental and to have a growth removed from his gums. He went thru it like a Champ. Here he is with Dr. Dave who, in my humble opinion, is the best Vet in the world. He has taken care of my dogs since 2005 and is now taking care of NEBTR Fosters in my care.

Some pictures of these 2 getting in with my “pack”. They are doing so well and I am in love with both of them although Boo has really stolen my heart. The 3rd is blurry because Cappy and Jaxx move very fast when they are playing tug of war. I’ve already gone through about 8 squeaky toys. So anyone out there can spare some old ones, I could use them.

Cappy and Boo Thank Pamela Miller

Cappy & Boo would like to thank Pamela Miller for their brand new feed stations (food and water bowls).  Not the best pictures, because they were anxious to eat. I’ll try to do better at breakfast when there is more light but as you can see, they loved their gifts. Thanks from me too, Pamela. I really appreciate this.

Cappy and Boo

Cappy is a 5-6 year old BT and Boo is an 11 years old BT/Dalmatian mix. Boo is more dependent on Cappy than Cappy is on Boo but they are just adorable together. Boo needs to be where he can see Cappy at all times. They are both scheduled for surgeries this month and, hopefully, will be ready for adoption around april 1st. The picture of them under my desk is where they like to be whenever I am in my computer. They play very well with my other dogs which consists of a GSD (9 mos.), a Siberian Husky (12 yrs. Old) and an Italian Greyhound (10years old). They are super sweet, cuddly little boys.

 The last one includes my GSD, Jaxx, getting in on the play action. They are all good buds.

Oh my gosh are those 3 not the cutest dogs ever???  Love it!!

Cappy and Boo are two brothers who found their way to NEBTR when their former owner lost his house. Sandy Z very generously opened her heart and home to them, and this is her report of her first week with these two adorable boys.

What a difference a week makes!!! Cappy, the Boston Terrier, & Boo, the Boston/Dalmation mix, came to me on Feb. 24th, 2016. Both were fearful, shaking and afraid little boys. Today they are confident, cheerful, happy, tail wagging, cuddly little creatures and I am in love.

Both boys had to be rushed to the Vet on Monday for eye issues and were very well behaved the entire time. They let Dr. Joe examine them up close and never resisted. The staff at Marcy Vet Clinic fell in love with both of them. The issues with the eyes were not serious but needed attention. Both have to get ointment 2 X’s a day. Boo has Red Eye which, I guess, happens frequently in Dalmatian mixes. It may never go away but at least we can make him more comfortable. Cappy had a swollen lower lid on left eye, but within the past 2 days, it has gotten much better.

Both are scheduled for surgery / procedures the middle of the month. They should be ready for adoption by the 1st of April if all goes well. They are integrating themselves into my pack of fur babies and are getting along just fine. Cappy just loves to play with Jaxx (GSD puppy) and about twice a day they get “the crazies” and just run through the house chasing each other. Cappy loves to suckle and has found several stuffed toys to do that with. He always has one in his mouth. I have not discovered what Boo likes to play with yet. Boo is more dependent on Cappy than Cappy is on Boo. I only started letting them co-mingle yesterday for a couple of hours but I plan on letting them stay out most of today. Right now both boys are curled up at my feet as I am typing this and Jaxx is behind me. I find this all very amazing and it inspires me to keep going.

When we got home from the Vet on Monday, Boo had wriggled himself out of his halter and managed to get by me when I opened the car door. I, of course started to panic. No problem, I got Cappy out on the leash and called Boo as I was going up the steps and he followed us right into the house.  I think he knows he is in a safe place.

This is such a happy story, at first it brought a tear to my eyes when I read that once they were fearful, shaking little boys.THEN you helped them become happy and confident. I love when they have the zoomies or when they do the Boston 500!

Thank you, Sandy for fostering and caring for these sweet boys!
