Olivia Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hello! I wanted to give a quick update on little Belle and Turk. They are doing great. Fat, sassy and happy. They are growing like weeds and seem to be making up for lost time with the food. Turk remains a laid back, chill kind of guy. Belle is still a spitfire with attitude to spare. They are getting spayed and neutered on Wednesday and will be officially up for adoption! They went to an adoption event this past Saturday and did great. Very social and charming. They have another one this coming Saturday. Hopefully they will find their forever families soon! Here they are! Turk! And Belle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks for the update Olivia! I can't get over how well they are doing now. I also can't figure out how you are letting Belle go???? These two would not have made it w/o you and all you've done for them, kudos to you!

Olivia Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks y'all! I have to give Belle up for the simple reason that I already have 4 dogs of my own and if I kept her I could no longer foster. I want to be able to help more like her so I need that extra spot in the house. It's breaking my heart, especially when I pick her up and she puts her paws around my neck and snuggles her head under my chin, the same pose she has done since the first day I brought her home. It's her default position when she's tired, scared, hurt or feels sick; it's also her position when she just needs some love. I've never seen her do it with anyone else and it makes me tear up. But I've been keeping in mind that I am making them the best and healthiest puppies I can for the families that are looking for them. Their families are out there but they are gonna have to be something special to make it past my adoption interview! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet_ceana Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Wow, those two have come light years. Bravo! Any chance someone at work could adopt Belle and bring her in to see you... constantly?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yes, I understand, I don't know how you are going to let her go though. You could send the applicant to me after they have been through your interview I can guarantee you a 100% failure rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivia Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I just got a call from Belle's new owner. Belle just broke with parvo. She is at the vets on fluids and is being treated. Please keep your fingers crossed for her. This was my biggest fear for her. Sigh. Turk seems fine, no vomiting or diarrhea but you can bet I'll be keeping an eye on him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivia Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Belle got to go home today.

Hopefully this is it for the little girl and she can live a long and healthy life from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemist Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Photos notwithstanding - are you sure Belle isn't a cat? Perhaps it's best she isn't, as surely she'd have gone through half of her nine lives by now! Here's hoping she never looks back from this point forward!!!!
