This site was created so that additional information, pictures and videos could be shared. This Fluffy Dog is being fostered in St. Charles, IL by Joan and Bob. They are lifelong animal lovers and have three dogs and several cats of their own. They began fostering for Fluffy Dog Rescue in December 2014. (They fostered two dogs, Patience and Phoebe, before the creation of this blog)

Welcome Lydia

Little Lydia arrived from Alabama yesterday and gosh she is one super cute girl.  She is about 11.5 inches to the shoulder and I'm guessing she's about 11 pounds.  The batteries are dead on my scale so I can't weigh her right now but my guesses are pretty good.

Lydia stayed with me for about 24 hours until my mom could pick her up.  My mom and Bob will be fostering her in their home (St Charles, IL).   They don't blog so I will continue to maintain this blog for them as I've done for all their foster dogs.

In the time I spent with Lydia she showed herself to be a bubbly, happy and outgoing girl.  Gosh, really a great personality.  She just puts a smile on your face.

She loved my daughters (11 and 13) and my husband and met our neighbor's dogs nicely.  She seems young to me.  I would guess no more than about 2 yrs old.  Her teeth are sparkling white.

In the time she was here she did her potties outside.  She slept in a crate in my daughter's room and whined for a bit but then settled down and slept all night.

I have limited time to add things to the blog right now so here are just a few pictures and some video. Double click on the pictures to see them larger.  The videos are generally best viewed on a laptop or PC versus a phone.

Thanks for reading and thanks for thinking rescue!

First things first.  Lydia got a bath upon arrival.  She tolerated it.  

Sparkling clean!  Look at that smile!  

She's a happy girl and her tail is always wagging


She enjoyed a bully stick on the dog bed in my office while I worked this morning
