Montana

Things are going pretty well, although she has an inner ear yeast infection and the vet bills and medication so far are over $300!! But she is worth it. We are going to try and make it to the adoption event on Saturday, if work allows. I have been giving April updates on things. I'll try and get some pictures taken and e-mailed to you. Thanks Mike

Milo

I adopted Milo on September 26, 2007 and he has changed my life forever. My two doxies passed away 3 months ago and left a tremendous void which Milo has completely filled. He brings me such joy, he is my constant companion and sleeps with me every night with his head on the pillow. Actually, he is lucky to have two mothers because I live with my mother so he is never alone. He shares his new home with four retired rescue greyhounds, a rescue walker coonhound and a senior english setter. He came into his new home and settled right in as if he had always been here. I had doxies for twenty years until the last two crossed The Bridge but after adopting Milo I now know that a beagle will always have a special place in my heart. Milo reminds me of a country gentleman. He is perfect in every way. We are a match truly made in heaven. Thank you to everyone at TBBR for all the wonderful work that you do. Sincerely, Lesley Osborn

Michael

Hi Jack, I hope that all is well. From the looks of your website, you have had quite a few dogs in and quite a few dogs out. I saw that Madison was adopted. She was the sweetest looking bassett hound. Tom told me that I am not allowed to go to your site anymore...because my heart just cries out "I want MORE!!!!!". We definitely have our hands full with Michael. (Not in a bad way... we just want to give him 150% of our time and love!) He is doing so well. After a few days of shyness and nervousness, he really came out of his shell. He plays and runs around like a puppy. He is even going for walks around our development, although he stops and stares at every new sound. On the first day, we couldn't get him down our driveway. Today, we got him down the block (about 12 houses away). That was huge!!! Thank God for doggie treats! Tom calls him a "Momma's Boy" because he follows me around. I guess it is because I am home all day with him. Although, it is so sweet...when Tom pulls up at about 6:00 pm, Mikey runs to the garage door and sits...with his tail wagging. He is really starting to get the fact that we are a family and we are his forever. We love him like crazy and even after 10 days, we can't imagine life without him. Thank you so much for everything. Your organization is wonderful and you and all of your foster parents (especially Paula and her family) are angels! Here are some pictures of Mikey. The first one is him chilling out on our bed after a long, hard afternoon of play. The next one is him relaxing in his favorite chair on our back porch. He literally sits there for hours... keeping track of everything that goes on in the back yard. The third picture is some quality playtime with Tom. An last but not least is a family portrait. Not such a great picture because Michael was sort of freaked out that I picked him up and put him on my lap. He has that "give me a break" look on his face! Anyway, thanks again for bringing Michael into our lives!! He is the best!! --Elise & Tom just wanted to pass along this funny Mike story. We decided to give him a bath (shower) tonight. It is actually his second one. We use that Hi-Lyt shampoo, so he smells really nice. Anyway, we have a standing shower stall in our bathroom that we use. Tom got in (wearing his bathing suit) and got the water ready. I got Mike into the bathroom and he was like "NO WAY!". It was the biggest struggle to get him in the stall. After the shower, we let him out and he ran all around the bathroom. He shook off and was totally fine. We gave him some treats and he relaxed. Here is the funny part... Tom was still in the shower, just cleaning up and Michael walked right in and licked Tom's ankle. We were laughing like crazy!!! Why couldn't he just walk in before? Hope that you enjoyed the weekend! Best wishes always, Elise & Tom ** Another Update** Michael is great! He has made a smooth transition into our house and our lives. It is hard to remember what it was like without him. He is very happy and so are we. We love the TBBR and all of its wonderful volunteers and we thank you so much for saving his life.

Madison

Sorry I have not written sooner, but I have been doing 1001 things. Madison is doing well. She has fit right in the family. Her vet check up went well, they did put her on two different antibiotics. It has help a great deal with her yeast smell. I bathed her the first few days I had her and not since, and she does not smell yeastey yet! They have her on keflex 500 mg twice a day and ketoconazole 200mg, seems to be working. Bandit and her get along great, she gives him a run when they play, you would never know she was the older one. I'll keep you informed of any progress with Madison. We are all in love with her and glad we were able to adopt her. Lorraine McBride
