Chip

Friday afternoon Chip was adopted by a wonderful family with 3 boys to play with. Chip is one of the most amazing pups that I have ever come across and I will miss him dearly. Once again, I gave a piece of my heart away and the only way to return that favor is to keep in contact with foster mom. We love you Chip and wish you the best in your new life.

Well, Brutus (Chip) still has not found his voice – I honestly don’t think he has one. We have tried everything to get something out of him; you will hear a little raspy voice but nothing you can really hear. Interesting, to say the least.

Brutus lets himself out to the deck and then to the hay if the door is open - he will paw at it if it is closed, but won’t make a noise. I think bell training to go outside will be a must. All in all he is such a nice boy. He is big – but very gentle and docile. He woke up at 3 AM last night and really wanted to play, but we said no and he settled back down after pottying and a quick drink.

Brutus’ favorite place to sleep is under our bed or in our bathroom. He also likes Mistee’s big wire crate, as you can see from the picture below where Brutus and his Sister Shelby (06-420) were bringing my daughter's book bag into the crate to chew on and get Mistee into trouble :)

I am trying to get Brutus’ real foster mom to allow me to bring him to the picnic on Saturday to keep Shelby company, since she has to stay in a play pen and away from other dogs (for her well-being, as puppies are not yet fully vax'd at this age). Brutus is the outgoing one, so that would help Shelby a lot!

So, are you ready to meet Brutus?? Please email placement@ragom.org so we can set up a meeting.

Temporary foster mom

Chip has arrived at his regular foster home and what a sweetheart he is! He is being fostered with Lula 06-371 and she adores him. I think the little guy has charmed the 4 adult dogs, my son, and the rest of the household.

He is so cute when he initiates play, the way he bounces around and chases after the dogs. He isn't afraid of anything.

Come meet us at the RAGOM picnic on Saturday...you will fall head over heels in love with him :)

It is true - Chip is the sweetest guy on earth! He is so sweet - he slept all night - yes, on the bed. We got up at 5 and he kept sleeping, finally at 6:15 we went back into the bedroom and got his fur butt out of bed. He went outside and pottied and then wanted to eat, and boy do I mean EAT.

Then this morning we decided to stress him out and give him a bath; now let me tell you, he needed one! I got quite the bathtub ring from giving him a bath. He is even whiter now that we got the first layer of grime off. When we were done bathing both him and his sister (Shelby 06-420) they took a nice long nap under dry blankets (see picture below).

Now for the vet stuff – we got Chip micro chipped and he weighed in at a whopping 14.2 pounds. The vet said he was in great health and could not believe all the muscle going on in this little boy, so we have the okay to start walking him on a regular basis. We also received our first set of puppy shots and got a worm test done. He is being treated for roundworm.

The best part of our little temporary foster Chip – he has been going to the door to go potty on the hay. Now, I am not saying he is potty trained, I just believe he is going to be really easy. Chip is ready to meet you, if you are willing to meet him. Please contact placement@ragom.org if you are interesting in meeting this fabulous boy.
