A few you have asked me for an update on Finn, and I'm thrilled to oblige. Because if there's anything I like talking about more than food, it's French Bullies!
The little man is doing admirably, considering his shady beginnings. The infections in his ears have cleared up nicely, but he now has a skin infection. He's on antibiotics for that, which unfortunately encourages the yeast growth in his ears, so he's always itchy. We're hoping to find him a home that will home-cook his meals, or feed him a raw diet as ANY grains or other high-glycemic index foods encourage further yeast growth.
He's been neutered, and I'm glad to say that it hasn't really affected his personality too much. He's learning that screaming like a banshee at neighbor dogs is rather impolite, though from time to time, the temptation is too great, and he just has to "go for it" -- usually, when I'm walking him (suggesting that he's a bit protective of me). At the end of the day, we really want him to go to an only-dog home, or maybe one with a small, submissive female.
Finn has been a precious, welcome visitor in our home. Soon, the time will come for him to go to his "forever home".
In the meantime, he (and many of the other dogs in foster care) have racked up some pretty hefty veterinary bills. If you feel that you would like to sponsor this cutie (or, really, any other dog in foster care who may steal your heart), please go to the FBRN Foster Roster. You can Paypal a tax-deductible donation, and sponsorships of $10 or greater earn you a magnet ($10+), mug ($50+) or t-shirt ($100+).
