Bossoc Foster Dog #14

Bossco is a now 10 week old Akita/Sheapard puppy. He is a sweet boy with is full of love! We are working on house training and recall, as well as basic commands. He weighs 15LBS and is super smart. My mom has fallen in love with and wants to adopt him. We are doing slow introductions with her personal dogs and working on some issues her personal dog has. Hopefully once all is done he will be a great fir for her home. He wakes up twice in the night to go out and go to the bathroom. He is crate trained at night and when I am not home. He hates being in the dark so a light has to be left on. He has some crate anxiety and freaks out when put in it and I am not in the room. He is being crated with his sister at this point!

Bossco has the bear look of the Akita. He is mostly black with Brown front feet! He is my cuddle bear. He plays well with the big dogs and loves rawhide. He has his first set of shots and will be going for his booster next week. Bossco is starting to find his wonderful voice and he ears are slowly starting to become straight up!

Baby Hats for Sarnia Hospital

I just finished 100 crocheted baby hats for the Sarnia Maternity ward. I decided to do this when I had my son because his head was very large they had a heck of a time trying to find a hat that would fit his head. So I decided that I needed to do something about that. Within the 100 hats I have crocheted there are Preemie, normal sized and then large ones lol that would have fit my sons head. Our hospital is always in need of things for new moms so I figured this would help. When I was in the hospital I had bought new born diapers (how silly was that lol) they were way too small for him so I donated them along with the formula I had brought with me. The nurse when came and picked them up from my room was so grateful she had tears in her eyes. She said she would make sure the items got to someone who needed them. I truly hope that those items helped someone else.

I got to about 90 hats and I ran out of scrap yarn so I posted on a facebook site called mommy market and asked if anyone has scrap yarn or odd balls that I could buy for these baby hats. Two women stepped forward and "donated" two large bags of odd yarn. I am so grateful to these women for helping me reach my goal. I plan to do 100 baby hats for the London hospital as well. Each year I will give each hospital 100 hats to keep their supply up!
