Special Foster - Fluffy Bella

Needless to say...Tater Tot didn't stay with us very long and was snatched up by a wonderful home in Austin where his new job is being a BFF to his new mistress!!

Although we miss Tater Tot we are so happy that he has found his furr-ever home!!!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The week before Christmas brought Fluffy Bella, who is a wonderful, loving 1-2 yr old female Westie mix. She will sit next to my husband and I for as long as she can, a definite snuggle-bug!

She came to us with what we thought was an urinary tract infection. It seemed that she had to urinate every 5 minutes when, in fact, most of these potty trips were in vain as she strained and whimpered with no success in getting the urine out.

We assumed that this was going to need further attention and  after a trip to the vet we found our that she actually had 2 bladder stones over an inch big each! This little girl is only 10 pounds, so you can imagine how these stones must have interfered with her potty breaks!!

Although it was a very expensive operation, Austin Dog Alliance is committed to doing whatever is necessary to keep their fosters healthy and last Thursday we took Fluffy Bella to have the procedure done (at Austin Dog Alliance's expense) and today she is a totally different little girl!

She is back to an ordinary potty routine after only 2 days!! Bella spent last night curled up in her crate with no accidents and a report of a long interrupted stream of urine outside this morning!! What a special and lucky little girl!! We are sure she will be placed in her furr-ever home in no time!!

Needless to say Bella owes her comfort, and maybe her life expectancy to Austin Dog Alliance and we want to do our best to "paw it forward".  A "Chip In" has been set up to help reimburse some of the cost Fluffy Bella's operation, along with the funds required to help vet a litter of pups that were taken in by ADA from a retiring breeder.
