A whole week!

The Hollywood Five have been with me for a week now... And they have all turned into real love bugs!... My 'fav' is Bogart who finds me consistently, stands and looks at me with tail waggin' and I cannot help but to stop what I am doing and pick him up for cuddles... He's now walking about a bit more... His feet are still pretty swollen but at least they are no longer bright red and irritated...

They now have a few more buds to sleep with last night and it becomes a dog pile up... The other pups keep them warm, and because demos generate heat due to a lack of coat, the other pups get to receive back the favor!

I have never understood why demos become so absolutely sweet... Is it because they get so much extra handling with the baths, the meds, the sweaters, etc.?  Is it because they understand how bad things truly can be and so they appreciate a good foster home after the shelter?  Is it because slowly they start feeling better?... Dunno, but it happens to every demo dog I've ever fostered...

The Hollywood Five now run with the 'big boys' and are about 90% potty trained already... They sleep in a HUGE Xpen at night, but as soon as it is opened in the morning, they scamper outside to do their business!... And throughout the day, they go through the doggie door and continue to do their business in the backyard... Seldom do we have an accident inside the house and if needed, they use the pitty pads in their Xpens at night... But they're smart - they know the pitty pad is for nighttime use only and otherwise, they are to go outside... 

Bordot already has some peach fuzz growing back in all over... Scabbies are gone and the new coat is ready to rejuvenate itself... Bronson and Garbo are about 40% re-coated now... DeNiro and Bogart still have a ways to go... But we have made amazing progress in a very short time... 

I'm so proud of these five - and still can't believe someone opened a drop box in the middle of the night and abandoned them at a shelter... (sigh)... They don't have any idea how much they missed out in lovin' and sweet moments as these five are getting back on their feet!

I took video this week, so it should be posted very soon as well!
