Kensy, The Dog

I wrote a long post the other day to update everyone on Bear but it never posted so I’m trying again. Here’s a condensed version. Because Bear was fearful of us and terrified of leashes and wouldn’t take treats it was very difficult to make progress. He is definitely our toughest case.

All December I was in the hospital with my mom which really messed up Bear’s routine. Then we had some work done in the basement which meant everything downstairs was now upstairs throwing him off even more. You could tell Bear wants to do things but it was like he couldn’t get out of his own head. I found a mobile vet who came to our house (examined Bear in our bedroom, love the vet!) to see if he would be a candidate for low dose Prozac. I explained how many rescues we’ve had and this is the first time I considered it. When she met Bear she totally got it.

We gave him a few weeks for the pill to take effect and then worked on being in the family room with all the pups and bonding. Then we worked up to the long lead in the yard. And eventually a leash. This month we had our first pack walk! We have a ways to go, still very fearful, but Bear has made huge progress. Happy Memorial Day from our family to yours!

Bear and Fozzy hanging out, catching some rays. Aggie is just a little further over, taking a nap.

We’re pretty sure Fozzy is a Chow-chihuahua. 😳 Hes growing out but definitely not up, 🤣.

Daddy trusted me with groceries and dinner and I passed the test! I was a very good boy. I’ve become really close to Bear and we play all the time. We play chase and steal each other’s toys, so much fun. Aggie tolerates me and my puppy behavior. Woof!-Fozzy, The Dog

Guess who graduated puppy school yesterday? I did! Woof!- Fozzy, The Dog

Taking Fozzy out a lot to socialize with people. He’s still very insecure and fearful but getting better. Any experience he had with humans early on was not good so trying to show him they aren’t all like that. Here he is on one of his outings with Dad.

Grandma’s doing better. A ways to go but thankfully headed in the right direction. Thank you for all the prayers. My toes smell like Frito’s. Woof! Fozzy, The Dog

Surgery was postponed until tomorrow because one OR down. 🥲 It’s been really bad, any prayers for my mom are appreciated.

Grandma is in the hospital, feeling sad. Woof!-Fozzy, The Dog

Good morning, the gangs all here. Woof!- Fozzy, The Dog

Fozzy has the same Sammy Sheepdog gene that Kensy had, lol.

Today is 2nd puppy class. Hopefully they will work on training mom and dad. Serenity now. Woof!-Fozzy, The Dog

And what did I do to deserve this? Woof! -Fozzy, The Dog

That’s a medium and can’t even fit his arms through, lol. The small must be made for a gerbil. 😳

I’m getting bigger. No mommy doesn’t have man hands, that’s daddy. Woof! -Fozzy, The Dog

These two are so funny, thank goodness we don’t have predators out there, lol. Aggie and Bear are getting more used to Fozzy, it’s a slow process. Bear and Fozzy will run but then Fozzy gets a little rambunctious and Bear drops down, not quite sure what to do. The trainer said let them work it out as long as not aggressive, and it’s not, so trying to give them space. I want everyone to be buddies but I know I have to be patient.

My adorable kitchen helpers. And Bear hasn’t run upstairs, he keeps doing fly-bys. He wagged when I got home even though he then sunk to the ground. Every little step for Bear is huge, so proud of him.

Good 1st puppy class. We learned everything we’re doing wrong, lol. But that’s good, now we know the correct way and we have goals for next week’s class. And this morning Bear actually ran around the yard with Fozzy for the first time! 💃

Triple the happiness when I come home. ❤️

Tonight’s my first puppy class. I’ll let you know how it goes. Woof!-Fozzy, The Dog

All Maci wants for Christmas is a forever family to love. Let’s share this everywhere and see if we can make it happen.

A three-legged shelter dog named Maci doesn’t understand why people continue to pass her by. She is a sweet dog who loves to run, play, and cuddle.

Last August she arrived at the shelter emaciated with a badly broken leg. The vet decided to amputate the leg to give her the best chance at a normal life.

After months of recovery in a foster home, Maci is ready to find her person. Her foster family shared that not much slows her down. “Maci is so spunky and sweet! She plays hard but she also knows how to settle herself. She loves to cuddle and be the center of attention, every time we went into the clinic for her appointments she would go around the room and say ‘hello’ to EVERY SINGLE person. She does not know a stranger!”

Sadly, people walked right by her kennel at the shelter when they see she is missing a leg.
