Story
Opie is being fostered in FL. Little Opie continues to be the cutest old man in the world. He loves staying on schedule with his meals and outside time. When it's a nice sunny day, he can be found relaxing in the grass. When he's indoors, Opie is either sharing the big cozy dog bed with Gracie (6 lbs. poodle) or snuggling in under the blankets in the guest room closet. The funniest thing is when we set him on the couch or the bed, he rolls around on his back until he wears himself out! Opie gets along with the dogs who are close to his size, but he does not like our big dog, Baker. As soon as Baker gets remotely close to Opie, he screeches and it scares everyone. Opie does great at the groomer - he needs a good grooming every month - and he's so handsome after his haircut. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Picket is a sweet, lovable little guy. He weighs in at 34 lbs and is just the right size for walking. He is not high energy but enjoys long walks and then comes home for a nap or a cuddle on the couch. He loves squeaking stuffies and chewing on nylabones. He also loves to play with his foster fur siblings. He would do better with a companion dog. He is not housetrained yet but is starting to get the idea after only 2 days in his foster home. He is taken outside every 2 hours during the day and once during the night. As long as the routine is consistent, he has not had any accidents. He has been crated for up to 2 hours and has done fine. No accidents in his crate and no chewing of his bed. He is still young, so he needs to be supervised and has only chewed on his toys and treats. He is a little shy but is quick to warm up in a calm environment. He gives the best little kisses. He has not been around kids or cats.
