Mitt,
Thank you so much for sharing this success story. I am so happy for Ballo and you. So happy that he is home with you now. I can't wait to hear about all the great (and hectic) stories of your lives together to come. I am so fortunate to work with an organization that can help place some of these dogs into loving forever homes. And I am so glad you found BRAT to work with on this re homing.Thank you for rescuing this sweet boy and welcoming him into your family.
I ALSO can't wait to see more photos. :D

Pat thats his couch now. But he does share it with us.He also gets his share of the bed at night.He never had a chance to experiance what close human contact was, he has now, and when he needs moved he is like a sack of potatos,he is limp like a wet dish towle.I think he enjoys it! I would also like to mention here that I have read a few posts about BRAT and the way things get handled at BRAT. I can tell all of you that this organization is FIRMLY commited to doing what is right for the placement of thier rescues. I know about the Fanconi syndrome and will have Baloo tested when he sees the vet.I have lived a blessed life and I have had my share of problems.I know this much life does not come with guarentees and any pet is subject to that as well.We all need to do the best we can,and when someone sees us falling short of that goal we need to ask ourselves how we can contribute a plan to correct it instead of hurling complaints at one another.We as humans all need to be heard and aknowledged for what we have to say.And we on the recieving end of a ideal or statement need to aknowledged as well, but in the end we all need to respect our own and other's point of view.

Thank you for the BRAT related story. So many times we comment on the negatives in our lives and over look the positives. Thanks for reminding us how important those little positives can be.
Baloo is very lucky to have found you:) and he's even luckier you found him:D Baloo found the toilet paper already:eek:? Sounds as if he feels right at home!!
QUICK, HIDE THE KLEENEX!!

What a beautiful boy! What a lucky family! Glad you're all in one place at last, and Baloo is no longer looking for his true home. Rescue is a wonderful thing.
