Doberman's Again

So Titan went to live with his new family a little over two weeks ago.  He went to live in Arizona as an only dog to a really nice man and his wife.  We had Titan for about a month.  I miss him but he got a great family.  Last week Doberman Rescue called me to see if I would take another foster dog.  Of course David and I said yes.

So yesterday we took delivery of Bentley from Alamagordo, NM.  Bentley got to his first foster family by way of Mesilla Valley Shelter in Las Cruces.  Bentley had to find a new foster home because he was not getting along with the first foster homes other male dog.  At the first foster home Bentley got beat up rather bad by the other dog over food.  When I first discussed Bentley with his first foster mother she said he had been bit and that it was healing.  When we got Bentley yesterday his face was really messed up.  He will take some time to heal but I hope that he will heal nicely.

Bentley is about 9-10 months old and a black like Shelby.  At first he was not sure he even wanted to come in the house.  He is really timid and shy.  Once he came in the house we let our girls in too.  He loves the other dogs.  He is attached to Shelby at the hip.  They go everywhere together.  He has figured out that Psycho is the dominant dog at our house (by stepping on her tail and getting snapped at).  He is going to fit in just fine and heal and learn at our house.  It is really exciting to have a puppy. 

This is a photograph of Shelby in all her glory. Bentley is the same color with the same ears.  The only ways to tell them apart is Bentley is way smaller and has a docked tail.

This is Shelby snuggling with David.  This happens to be her favorite place but also the place where I normally sit on the couch.

This is Psycho taking a nap.  Isn't she really too cute and fluffy to be named Psycho.  Trust me she earned her name.

This is DB and Gracie napping together.  They take a lot of comfort in one another.  DB makes a great pillow.

When I get a good picture of Bentley I will post it.

Update:  This is Bentley.  You can't tell from this photo how bad his face is torn up.  He went with David and I to Farmington to visit my dad for Father's Day.  He learned to be a dog with all of the attention from my family.  We brought him back a much happier healthier dog.  He really was not liking women until he met my mom and sister.  He would avoid me if at all possible.  Now he is forgetting that he doesn't like women.  He came running up to me yesterday (I was feeling awful because we had to euthanize Precious).  He leaned on me and gave me kisses before he remembered he wasn't supposed to like me.  He is learning and healing quickly.
