Our new puppy Brian!

We are now the proud parents of puppy Brian! Yes, we have changed the spelling of his name but we cannot deny that he is definitely a Brian!

Jackson and I, as well as our cats, Bijoux and Kumi, are so happy to have Brian at home with us and part of our family. It is so fantastic to see him happy and I feel like he knows that he has found his forever home with us.

The first couple of days at home went really well, with the exception of some itching by Brian. He will be going to the vet today at 10:45 for a complete check-up. He has done really well in the crate...just some crying here and there. But, who can blame him? We think he misses his sister and brother.

We will post some pics up here soon. Thank you Homeward Trails for rescuing our Brian and for bringing him to us! And thank you Lois and Brian's fosters, Pri, Jaan and Rohini!

All Good News!

Whew! just talked to Bryan's primary vet. Turns out that the uncertain report I got from the orthopedist was for another dog - this vet inadvertantly was confusing Bryan with another dog he saw the same day.

Bryan's primary vet told me that both she and the orthopedist looked at Bryan's x-rays the day they were taken and both agreed that there was no problems beyond being a 10 week old puppy. He is expected to develop just fine! Yay!!!!!

Bryan's Medical Saga Continues

Good news and bad news. Another vet exam reveals that Bryan's eyes are just fine - yes, he's bug eyed but he can completely close his eyes and sees just fine. He might even grow into his big eyes.

More good news - he has no bone deformities in his bowed rear legs. Yay! however, the doggie orthopedist recommends that Bryan sees a neurologist. So now we are hoping that you nice people will consider donating $5, $10, $20 or more to cover this cost.

More good news - Bryan is now out of boarding and is in a wonderful foster home with Jaan, Pri and Ro. These great folks even offered to foster Bryan's big sister Bree until Bree's adopter can take her home! YAY!!!!!
