Meet Charlie


note ears

Here is our new foster Charlie. Charlie's name on Petfinder is Bristol if you would like to take a look. Link is on sidebar. They were calling him Charlie when I went to pick him up and he seems to know it so we are sticking with that. Charlie got along with my dogs right off the bat. He doesn't annoy Lyla like the puppies do. He has been to the dog park the last two days and loves  to run. He seems to know basic commands and is very polite with my dogs. So far the only thing we need to work on is pulling on the leash and recall at the dog park. He comes back..eventually.. I am so proud of Kasey and Lyla. Kasey returns on a dime. Lyla a quarter. Lyla also had a recall problem but we fixed that and I am sure Charlie will be no different. He loves to come snuggle with me on the couch.  Good with dogs..Good with kids. Did I mention he was adorable?
Thanks for looking. I will post more when I know more about this sweet little boy.

Hurray for Max

Max went to his forever home in Waukesha with his new Mom Helen last night. Everybody here misses him. Kasey is still looking for him everytime he comes in from outside. I feel bad for him. But very happy for Max. It is so cool that both Max and his Flufffy Friend Sparkey found their forever homes on the same day... A wonderful day to be a Fluffy Dog!!!

Just when you think you have it figured out.




   Now I have always thought that Max looked alot like my Flat Coat Retriever mix, Kasey did when he was a puppy. But there are soo many different breeds around and there really not many Flat Coat Retrievers around. So what are the chances of me getting a foster of that breed? But today I happened across this picture of Flat Coat Retriever puppies. They look alot like our Maxy... I wonder?

Can Anybody Help???

Am looking for a rescue to take a 12-1/2 year old lab that my vet has asked me to help. The family lost their home and the dog is there alone with food and a couch until Friday. She has only until Friday or they are forced to put her down. She is a well trained, spayed, up to date chocolate lab. Someone checks on her every day. I volunteer for BRATS (Badger Rescue Animal Transport Service) and could arrange transport if you know of any suggestions. Thank you again....Jodi

Max..Growing up

     Max has come along way this week.  He is growing up both in size and attitude.  I think he has doubled his size in the last 2 weeks. He is going to be a big boy.
    I have thought from the beginning that he had some kind of Spaniel in him.  Larry took the dogs to the dog park and there were alot of people there that agreed.
     He is starting to get really vocal. Talks alot while he plays. Doesn't bark alot except when he is barking at my dogs to get them to play.  he sure loves to play..All in all he is a more well behaved and gentle than he was when he came...Don't get me wrong he is still a puppy..Still chasing his tail. Just learning his manners and commands. Very food motivated which is making it a breeze to train him. He learned sit so quick I was confused as to why he wasn't gettin lay down.  I changed the hand signal I was using and he did it the first try.. Amazing..
   Max is available for adoption at Fluffy Dog Rescue..Please follow link to fill out an application. Sorry but Fluffy Dog cannot adopt out to families with children age 6 and under.
