I can say we just had a blizzard and have been getting one to two storms a week. Oakley has a Hurrta coat, a snood which he sometimes uses as a neck warmer and boots used for wet snow or extremely cold weather. Despite that his paw pads started bleeding yesterday mid walk…he really can't handle the constant snow,ice,cold and ice melt..
I think you should be able to bring your pup out; just keep an eye on any signs of hard shivering or motionless (not wanting to move), lifting up of one foot at a time and staring at you. All those can be signs of cold uncomfortability. Congrats on your new pup and I do agree to use caution around dogs you aren't familiar with, but also keep in mind socialization is super important as well. Try for positive experiences with dogs at a safe distance and try to get in up close experiences with dogs whose medical history and owner reliability are there
1 + 2 = 3 !!!!!!

Congratulations! Can't wait to hear how they all do once they get used to eachother. I can't look at the BRAT website very often, otherwise I would have a pack of dogs.:p

Yes I have that problem but these two just really tugged at my heart. They are a little older 6 & 8 so not as many people would be willing to adopt them especially together. We are fine with it. They love kids and we have two so we're hoping they fit in perfect. We're just having a hard time being patient.

Do the two females get along?
-
Congrats!!!
And you are especially brave adding 2 girls :eek: . -
Congratulations!!!! We just added our third a few weeks ago and it is a little crazier in our house than we had expected! BUT,,,,,,,it is well worth it when all three are snuggled up to us in bed!!

They've been together forever and could only be adopted as a pair so I would say yes…..I guess I'll find out if they have any issues with each other once there here. They've been crated together while waiting to be adopted so I got them one big crate to share hopefully that works and keeps their stress down.

Alrighy huge congrats!!!
-
I would love to see a photo of all 3 of your b's…once they all get settled.
Thanks for taking these 2 into your home.
Rescue needs folks like you.

Well the girls are here. There is some snarking. The couch seems to be the biggest issue this evening. We did all manage to find a comfy spot and snuggle for a while. I think they'll all be ok with a little time and lots of love. They all want love and pets at the same time. I'll post pictures soon !!!:)
-
Woo Hoo good to hear they made it! Please keep us updated that the adjustment goes smoothly.
And don't forget the pictures

Congratulations!!! That is so great that you adopted two–and older!!!! It is definitely harder to place two together. My Tyler and Zoey were at the SoCal basenji rescue for almost two years before I came along. You may find that issues come up between the two now that they are in a new home. I had issues after a couple of months, but everything settled out, and they are doing just great.
-
EXCELLENT news!!!! Congratulations! Keep us updated!
-
Yay! kepp us posted on how they progress…and post pictures when you can!
-
Well,,,,,???????? How are things going? We just added a third BRAT dog so I feel like I can relate to your situation and I am curious as to how your new babies are doing.

They actually played today !!!! Our biggest problems are between Deke and Gracie. Today they got a toy that they fought over before(we took it away just gave it back today) And tossed it back and forth. Then jumped and lunged and NO growling. It was sooooo cute. Now, later they were back to the snarking thing but little steps!!!
Gracie and Britty sleep in bed with us completely under the covers.
Deke loves his crate so I haven't changed that he sleeps there.It's also made Deke a lot more vocal baroooing and moaning and everything in between.
Honestly I don't think I'd every get anything but a Rescue again(no offense to the breeders) I just love the whole thing..and it makes you feel good to give these guys a home. Gracie is always making sure we are still here and asking for love. Deke ask for love a lot also. Britty loves to snuggle but not as often.
How are yours doing? You a few weeks ahead of us.
