  • Just had to let all of you know we are soooooooooo happy!!!!!!! We just found out that we were picked to be the BRAT dog Lee's forever home!!!! He will make #3 in our pack with Dane and Bella. We will be getting him in approximately two weeks. Hope all goes well and everyone gets along. He sounds like a GREAT dog!!!!

    P.S. We will be renaming him,,,,,,my bosses name is Lee– dont think I could do the boss and dog named the same thing -- so we are open for suggestions. We would like it to start with an A or C since we have a D and a B - Dane and Bella we ,,,,,,,or I should say I since my hubby says three is it,,,,,,would eventually like to call the pack A, B, C and D :D :D :D :D :D

  • Congrats! I'm sure you'll figure out a name…Looking forward to seeing your new addition!

  • Im soooooo glad to hear three has been a good number for you. We have been a little worried about bringing in a third (afraid they may be like kids – with three there are often problems :) ,,,,,,,,,,Thanks for the suggestions on names but we have decided on Wrigley,,,,,,his name has been Lee since the rescue people found him about a month ago so we thought we should incorporate that into the name,,,,,,and my hubby is a HUGE Chicago Cubs fan and that is the name of the place they play baseball. Anyway we are making the 10 hour trek to Missouri next weekend to pick up our newest furbaby so keep your fingers crossed for us that all will get along!!!

    What a cute name. Good luck with the trip. Let us know how everything goes.

  • Thanks,,,,,,,we really like the name and Yvonne (his foster mom) says that the name suits him.
    We have decided to kennel Dane and Bella while we go pick up Wrigley. Any suggestions for what we can do to make their stay easier? We have never had to kennel them before so we are nervous.

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black
