5/23/07 - Candy, aka Candy-Fluff or just The Fluff is a benevolent Queen, never unkind to her loyal subjects and loving servants. She is rather vocal when those outside the kingdom venture in, but she can be tolerant of others. She has kept her figure, at a 13.5 lbs. She exercises regularly, alone or with her large, but loyal, subject Rocket. She has come to grace whomever's lap she fancies with her presence each night. The Fluff has enjoyed the beach on several occasions, but favors camping in her RV with her subjects and servants. She can be quite difficult with the local groomers, but endures the indignity of it all for appearances. Her majesty's one weakness is the smoke alarm. We fear she may have been in a fire before she came into power here. She will lower her tail and head for the basement or under the bed when her cook's oven begins to smoke or anything is broiled. We hope Her Majesty, Candy Fluff, will have a long and happy reign with us.

3/12/06 - My little Candy girl's circle has been completed. We thoroughly enjoyed this girl for 1 1/2 months, but it was time to say goodbye today. A previous BAR adopter, a very special one at that, Leslie came with her friend Jean to take Candy to her new home. There, Candy will be loved and cherished, along with her 2 BAR boxers, Rocket and Trixie.

3/8/06 - Candy continues to thrive in her foster home. She is such a perfect guest that she is allowed to leave fosterland and come upstairs with us. She is totally housetrained and gets along with everyone. That is the criteria for allowing her to leave fosterland. She has even slept in our bed with our 2 pugs. Candy now plays peek-a-boo on command. Lay her on her back while she is on your lap and say "peek-a-boo Candy" and she covers her face with her two front paws. She is way too cute. She loves her pig ears, cow hooves and any type of bone. However, if another dog steals it from her she lets them and just lays there and cries a little. She is never aggressive. She must love my cooking, because she is eating beautifully. She is no longer too thin. In fact, we have cut out the pasta. Candy has so much love to give. Unfortunately, with 11 dogs in the house, it's hard to give her as much love as she would like. She would love a home where she can cuddle in a lap, and give as many kisses as you are willing to receive. If you haven't sent in an app yet, don't wait. Great dogs like this are usually not in rescue very long. Hurry!!

2/18/06 - Little Candy girl came to stay with us on 1/28, and we have been enjoying her since :o)) Her owners brought Candy into a high kill shelter. She was originally adopted from the North Shore Animal League many years ago. She apparently lost her left eye while at this home when another dog attacked her. This is why she was still at the shelter when BAR was there to pick up a boxer. Why else would a dog this darn cute still be at the shelter, running out of time? Well, their oversight or hang-ups about a dog with 1 eye will be your gain. Candy is listed as 7 yrs old, but to watch this little spark plug, you would think she is half that age. She was a bit shy when she 1st got to her foster home, but that shyness lasted maybe 2 days, tops. She then made herself right at home, got along with all the resident dogs, young and old, big and small. She really is just a super girl. She just LOVES to be held, and we have found her favorite position is to be cradled like a baby. While you are rubbing her belly, she does this incredibly cute thing, where she lifts her front paws and covers her eyes and plays peak-a-boo with you. Just way too cute :o))) Candy has had a SUPER appetite from the time she came to her foster home. She was a bit underweight, now we are going to watch that she does not get overweight. There isn't anything she doesn’t seem to enjoy, food wise. She is also very playful with her stuffed animal, sinking her teeth into the nice plush teddy bears and squeaky toys. We had a pretty big snowstorm last week, and little Candy girl was the 1st one out and the last one back in the house. She loved romping thru the snow, and running in circles on the deck. Candy is totally house trained, and has not been crated since the 2nd day here, once we saw that she was totally trustworthy. Candy does show a slight protectiveness with her toys. She puts up this tough front of a low level growl when she has a toy and another dog shows an interest. We know it is a front, because we have a young pug who doesn’t know yet about "getting the message", and when he just looks at her while she is growling, and then gently picks up the toy, Candy does absolutely nothing about it. Ha...bluff called, huh Candy girl? We absolutely love this girl, and want her to find a home where she can be spoiled to death. If you think this is your home, then hurry and get your app in on this girl. Now that the Candy secret is out, she won't be around much longer.
