Ready for His Close Up

It's Nice Here

Theo (we call him Teo, just to be fancy) came to stay last night and he's wonderful. Definitely a lover, not a fighter. Bella (juiced by so many treats her little head spun) was a near-perfect darling.

Teo inspected the place and proclaimed it worthy. He mostly wants to hang out on the couch or with his sweet little head on my lap. He adores Bella and follows her lead, which she's cool with. He wasn't so jazzed about his sponge bath, but he waited patiently til I was done. He looooves walks--I need to get him a harness. We hit the sidewalk and he's like a man released from death row (which he pretty much is)--pep in his step, tail wagging, love emanating (probably from those ears--you could hide a missile in there).

We're excited to get him housebroken and into his forever home. Someone is going to be a very lucky dog momma or dad!

Theo Is Now Teo And In His New Foster Home

Teo, the most adorable 30 lb beagle mix (look at these HUGE ears - maybe there's some bassett in there?) met his new foster Rachel today and his new canine pal Bella. Bella doesn't always like to share her home, things or human and how can blame her? But she really tried hard to have a good attitude and welcome this little guy into her home. There might have been one or two bribes/treats to helped soften her up....

Teo made short order of checking the place out and decided that it was pretty darn nice - way nicer than the shelter and that Rachel was pretty friendly and loose with the yummies. Even that Bella was not so bad.

Teo is looking forward to more walks with Rachel and Bella and checking out more great smells. He just knows that a cute, friendly dog like him will find a great home in no time. He can't wait for the next adoption event!
