Finally a photo

We got our foster dog over to the groomer today to get cleaned up. The little guy is practically naked now so Shelby and I went today to pick him out a sweater. After all, I’m cold, I’m sure he’s pretty chilly too. Shelby had a very hard time picking a sweater. The girl loves pink and all things that sparkle so shopping for a boy was a switch. A fur trimmed hood was the best compromise, and the studded collar she picked was too big, lol.

As you can see from the photo he seems to be in love with Shelby. The feeling is entirely mutual. He’s a good little dog. It took him awhile to not want to eat me alive when I got near him, but he’s all good now. He and I have made major progress, lol.

Anyway, I promised a photo and an update…
