Brody

Brody

We are heartbroken as we share the unfortunate news that our sweet angel Brody (Mr. Brody) crossed the Rainbow Bridge last Thursday.  A day prior, he was diagnosed with a mass on his heart that was causing him to experience episodes of arrhythmia.

Unfortunately, his condition significantly deteriorated the following day, at which point we made this difficult decision. We adopted Brody from Lone Star in December of 2020.  From day one, he fit right in with our K9 crew which includes a mixed breed shaggy girl, and Lone Star alumnus Charlotte (Bunny Flower).  Brody was extremely well mannered and charming with both his human and K9 companions. We loved everything about this sweet boy from the tip of his extra-long tongue and soulful eyes to his adorable wiggling cinnamon bun tail.

While dealing with his loss is difficult right now, we would do it all over again given the joy and fun he brought to our home over the past 2+ years.   His mere presence had the amazing impact of bringing timid Charlotte out of her shell. It was like magic.  We all miss the extra sparkle he brought to our lives!  I’ve included a few pictures from his time with us.

Sometimes, it’s just worth the wait. It’s rough but totally worth it. Brody was in his foster home for a few days shy of eight months. Today, Brody moved south into a forever home with a mom, dad and two fur sisters. He’ll experience loads of love and a have a grand yard in which to play.
Foster mom and dad have already heard he was a champ on the long drive home and is settling in well. We shed some tears of sadness seeing him leave, but also we also had some happy tears knowing Brody has a forever home with a great new family.

I’m 8 years old and I could really use some help with my eyesight ~ it’s just not what it used to be. In fact, right now, I can’t see a thing. I bump into a lot of stuff, but I say excuse me and just keep on going. Once I learn the lay of the house, I am good to go!

Speaking of going, my mom and dad decided to do some social distancing, but for good. So, with that being said, I chose to go, too … to rescue. That way, I can get some help with my eyes and some help with my skin. And I can have a little surgery to help with my loving feelings toward the ladies. Stay tuned to watch my journey through rescue! I’m looking forward to ‘seeing’ you. (See what I did there? Oh, I’m full of ’em!)

6/8/20 Update:  Brody’s first week in his foster B&B has been a calm and pleasant one. Brody weighed in at 49 lbs and has a very sweet demeanor. Brody has a long tongue this gives him a bit of challenge at meal time, but he is not starving and manages well with a little mess on his silver tray. He has gotten along well with the senior queen Bulldog of the house. They kiss in passing. Brody does have arthritis, so he sometimes limps, but that doesn’t hold him back from enjoying a walk. He takes his eye medications like a champ.

6/17/20 Update:  This special cuddle bug shows his affection with a little head nudge. Brody enjoys taking his bath, a blow dry and brushing. Brody would love to join a family that is laid back and can take him on leisurely walks. He’s also game for some playtime in the grass, with a little water action from the hose!

7/14/20 Update: I’ve been enjoying the dog days of summer. Foster Momma has been laughing at me when I have a conversation with the ice maker. She also is loving when I sing to the sound of thunder.

This week, I was able to stay home with free reign, along with my foster sister. Foster Momma said I got an A+ on the test.
I’m just hangin’ patiently, waiting on those applications. Maybe you’d be a good fit for me? And if you’re not matched to me, I know we have so many other doggies looking for their forever homes.

8/2/20 Update:  Every day is a joy with this love bug. And every day, this beautiful boy shows us something new and gives us an extra smile.

After eight weeks in his foster home, Brody now sneaks a close cuddle with the queen of the house.
Brody is loving his morning walks- just show him the harness and he is over the moon with excitement. Brody is an exceptional patient when it come to his eye drops. And if you show him the brush or call him to the shower, he’ll jump right in with no hesitation. We hope he can find his furever family. He certainly deserves one!

8/10/20 Update:  Here’s looking at you, kid… 😁 Foster Momma says I am good boy, and I’m still working on those little potty accidents. I would say that 98% of the time I go to the door or doggie door. I don’t like to potty when I go for a walk. I like to go when I want to go.

My eyes require drops and I’m 100% OK with that because it makes me feel so much better.
Do you like my “angry” face? I have tons of expressions and I love to share them.
11/22/20 Update:  Brody is getting ready for the rain. He is sporting his new coat from Brigid of Brigid Brammer Bags. Brody loves it ~ he doesn’t want to take it off.
