After flying to Wisconsin and back yesterday I was exhausted, but so excited that I could barely sleep! I picked up my newest little HRI foster yesterday. His name is Colby (for the cheese state that I got him from - LOL).
He is from a puppy mill, 4 months old, and just a bundle of energy and love. So unlike my Madeline last year, he seems to be more comfortable with people, and LOVES other dogs.
Poor baby has tapeworm and Giardia, which is not uncommon for Mill dogs! He is a joy to me and Gabe!
It is very difficult to see how truly beautiful he is (as Leslie knows) it is almost impossible to get a good shot of a black dog. He has the most beautiful eyes, and I think I will trim around them so we can really see how cute he is. I am in love!

Colby is doing great - despite being on Panacur and having diahrea about 10x a day! Poor little boy is getting a LOT of butt washes!!

He is still sweet and exposes his belly to me every time I walk by! Have him on Chicken and rice in hopes of alleviating some of his issues.

NOT a single accident yesterday or today yet! He is a smart boy!!

We took Colby for his first walk on a leash today - well it really was his first "I want to lay down" on a leash. He will need lots of work with that! He met two young kids and he was just wonderful with them! Even exposed his belly for them to rub! Here is a picture of him in his new bed, and relaxing after his "alleged walk" in front of the fan. (94 degrees here today!!!!)

O My, Laurie, he is just sooooo cute. He is just so lucky to have you as his foster mommy. You are wonderful and I know he will experience so much love and security in your wonderful home. Thank you so much for everything you do, you are my hero!!!!

Colby - that's a great name for doggie from Wisconsin! And he really does have a sweet face and expressive eyes. It's the same kind of look I see in Buttons face and a look in her eyes that is just an expression of pure love. He has that same look. Very sweet.

Great pictures, Laurie! The best ones are usually the ones taken outdoors, I have found. The trim you gave him really shows his eyes and face well. What a cutie! You are brave to want to bring Colby to the National, but if he does come, it means I get to see him, so hope that works out. :)

Sadly Marj, Colby will NOT be going to Nationals with me. It is just way too expensive to fly him - they want $250 round trip for me to fly with him :Cry:

So he will be staying home with the three L's and getting spoiled by my sitter!

Poor little guys till has the diahrea so my Vet is putting him on another medication. His belly seems to be so unsettled.

Otherwise he is doing wonderfully - still such a joy!!

He's adorable. Can't wait to meet him soon. Good Luck with your little Wisconsin Boy. My husband who is a major Wisconsin Badger fan wanted to name Babaloo,Badger. He was vetoed.

This "pups" is one lucky little guy to have landed in New Jersey into your loving household.

Well today is day 6 in our house, and our little houseguest is just doing wonderfully. His medications were switched and his belly is much much better - which is making potty training a snap! He loves to just roll over on his back for belly rubs - I think that is is favorite thing ever! Here is a picture of him doing so. I was able to get a few good shots of him outside today. He is starting to learn how to play with toys. he has not quite "gotten" it but will soon.
