Almost two weeks later...

It is almost two weeks now since I took over fostering the 'Hollywood Kids' (now numbering 6)... But of the first original five, they sat for me today and got updated photos taken.

Each has developed into unique and special personalities as their health conditions improved.... 

Bogart has become my husband's personal favorite and the pup waits to meet him at the door each evening as my husband comes home from work... Bogart is the worst of the five and his progress - although at the same rate - had an unique challenge to overcome... Bogart did not much more for the first week but lay under the covers and sleep... Walking was pretty darn painful on those huge swollen pads of feet he had... I remember thinking one day that when my feet hurt, I hardly want to move on them - what if my hands were hurting just as badly?   That must be how Bogart (now called "Bogey" around here) felt on a day to day basis... 

Bronson had the least amount of damage done by the demodex... From the beginning, he was the most active one of the five... It turns out he is a white and tan as his coat grows back in, and he's not going to be that big at all... Maybe 5 pounds at the max as an adult... 

I'm hard pressed to pick my fav... I absolutely adore DeNiro's little 'floppy ear, ga-lump, ga-lump' run/walk... And it never fails to make me laugh when I see him run after the big guys... He's the most shy one in the bunch, and it probably has to do with his small size - he's about 3 pounds and I don't expect him to get much bigger than 4 as an adult... 

But Bardot?... She's another one I love dearly... She's SOOOO kissy face and sweet... Pick her up and she'll smother you with kisses, and then clean your face all over again!... Her coat is not coming in as quickly and it is not much more than peach fuzz now... She's going to be a beauty when the treatments are done though... She has this way of sitting and looking at you --- almost like she is trying to read your mind or something along those lines... 

Finally there is Garbo... She's still the most mischievous of the crew...  If there is a barrier put up to keep the litter somewhere, she'll find a corner and worm her way out and then fence-race the others until she encourages at least Bardot to join her in the bid for freedom! (smile)... She's also sorta/kinda the mother figure in this crew - herding them around when need be and finding the food first, then woofing at the others about the news!

GREAT pups and easy enough to foster - all great personalities and now all potty trained too!  That's a blessing!
