He's napping now, and I caught a glimpse of the bottom of his front paws. Is this too swollen for a Bully, or does this look the way interdigital cysts normally look from this angle?

I met the foster parents at about 1:30, and Bosley & I stayed at the dog park for a bit to see how he is with other dogs. He did a wonderful job! The foster parents were very sad to let him go, and I don't blame them. I was upset just seeing them upset. Here is my first series of pics...

Those accidental shots are usually the best ones! I think it might be time to buy a camera that does the multiple-snap thing...

Yeah, like all of you, I can't understand how anyone could ignore their pets like that. The fact that they wanted to have him put to sleep shows the utter ignorance of some people. The good part is that there are people at the shelter who know what they're doing, and there are rescue...

Thanks so much to all of you for the wonderful words, advice and encouragement. I'm truly grateful! Believe me when I say that I'll be taking plenty of pics and posting updates about the life of Bosley. This will be the first dog that I've ever owned, and I'm well aware that things are going...

They said that he was about two when they got him, so he should be around two-and-a-half, now.

From the sites that I've encountered, the adoption fee is typically in the $400-600 range. They're normally cheaper if they have some sort of permanent ailment. (Spina Bifida, etc.)

Yeah, I think "Boz" will probably become his de facto nickname. ;)

If everything goes as planned, I should be bringing Bosley home on Sunday Afternoon! I'm too excited! Here's a pic I took during our meeting this past Sunday: As you'll see, he's been through a rocky history, and the above picture shows a much healthier Bully. Here's his page at my local...

lexterwayne Yeah, I think the weather in our respective areas was basically the same. When Lex was outside playing, was it for periods longer than fifteen minutes at a time? Was it a case of you making him go back inside, or did he do it on his own?

Thanks a bunch for the information, everyone! I've now been sent the link for Carolina's a few times, and I need to get to shopping! I'll also be looking into getting the ice collar, so thank you for that. We're outside again today, and the temperature has gotten into the low 70's. When the...

I'm still in the process of adopting, and I want to get as much feedback as I can about taking these dogs outside. I'm in Texas, and, while the weather is currently quite nice, it will inevitably get to its usual 90+ degree-period during the Summer. If you're in an area of the country that's...
