Meet the Pack!! (finale....at least for a few years)

Now, I introduce you to "the Bob's", Yogi and Boo Boo (Boo Boo on left, Yogi on right).


Yogi and Boo Boo "were" fosters I rescued. They needed re-homing after 11 years of being with their family, due to severe allergies developed by their child. It was a heartbreaking situation, as the family loved them dearly, but they came to understand that keeping the pugs outside, like they had done for a year, was not appropriate, no matter how much they loved them. They loved them enough to let them go. Unfortunately, they were posted on craigslist, which is a mecca for people looking to use dogs as pit bull bait, research, etc. I told them I would foster them and properly screen potential adopters. Well, they aren't going anywhere...




This is Boo Boo...



...a cuddlier dog you will never find. He is a bit needy, a bit obsessed on the pack leader (i.e., me), but it is understandable after this huge life transition. He truly is one of the sweetest dogs ever.




This is Yogi...



...this guy has been through so much. The previous owners hadn't noticed that he was having problems urinating. Well, long story short, after tons of antibiotics, prescription food trials and x-rays, we found out he had stones in his urethra. He needed a urethrotomy, a surgical procedure to remove the stones. It was a long(10 day), extremely painful recovery. He has since healed (his surgery was about 3 weeks ago). The stones removed were analyzed and determined to be Calcium Oxalates. We have since put him on a specialized home-cooked diet to prevent more stones from occurring. I will be posting more about Yogi and the calcium oxalate diet that he is on.

Well, that's it! That's the pack (not including the cats, but this is the dogs' page!) Now, we will post randomly about the pack, including but not limited to, what was for brekkie, new pals met, health issues, family issues, etc., etc..
