Betty Jean 06-490

Profile

11/20/06: Betty Jean or Bettee was the fifth of the Boo Bears to be born. Bettee?s parents were from a puppy mill and so she is a purebred Golden Retriever. Bettee came into this world at 11:59 pm on October 24th, 2006 and will be ready for adoption on December 18th, 2006. Bettee will be four weeks on 11/22/06.

Bettee came into this world weighing 1.2 ounces, biggest of the girls. At two weeks of age she weighed 2.44 pounds and I believe she will weigh close to 3.75 pounds when we go to the vet later this week. Bettee has had her deworming and will do another dose this week. In two weeks she will get her first set of puppy shots!

Betty Jean was named after a wonderful RAGOM volunteer?s mother who passed away this fall. This volunteer comes to snuggle with Bettee on a regular basis just to make sure she is getting all the love she deserves and a little extra because she is so special! Bettee will go out of her way to find something to chew on. It can be a toy or a foot--she does not care, just as long as she can have something to keep her busy while she is awake. Bette is such a joy. If you are interested in adopting this lovely lady, please send PlacementatRAGOM [dot] org a note.

Lovee wanted to say hi again and tell everyone her newest trick. Lovee goes to the sliding glass door and whines when she wants to go out. Now I don’t really think she knows this is a good thing, but she does love to go out on the deck and then proceed to beat up all her brothers and sisters. She is always the first to make the big leap out and usually the last to come in. However, she will do the whole in and out thing too.

Lovee’s parents continue to come and see her every couple of days to watch her grow, and growing she is! I cannot believe how big she has gotten. Lovee has a new picture that I thought everyone should see.

Lovee had a very stressful day yesterday, so today when we had company she was usually brought to another room with Sophee to just get some snuggle time. She was just too tired to entertain guests all day long. Yesterday she was shaking so hard with all the people we thought it was a bit much.

Lovee is getting used to going outside but she still thinks it might be a tad cold for her. I keep trying to tell her that she has the thickest fur, so it is just that she is a little scared of all the new sounds.

Lovee says hi to mom and dad who are watching over her on the web cam!

Betty Jean/Lovee has been marked as "Adoption Pending", but I just wanted to give a little update on her so when her parents don’t visit they know she is doing okay. Betty Jean has a nice case of roundworms that are being treated. When she went to the vet yesterday she weighed in at 4.38 pounds! She was on the smaller end of the pups but you would never know it.

Betty Jean just loves to be held and loves to pick on Jakee whenever possible. She is such a doll. Betty Jean had her very first photo shoot the other night – wow, you should have seen the photos going of her and really all the babies. I can see it now - Betty Jean or better known as Lovee Howell – will be on the cover of magazines and web sites in no time!

Ms. Betty Jean AKA Bettee is now officially known as Ms. Lovee Howell from Gilligan’s Island. Ms. Lovee will be going home with the R Family in the middle of December. She will be home just in time for Christmas and I know her new parents will take great care of her. In fact, Lovee will be allowed to go to the office each day with her parents as long as she behaves and passes her puppy classes. But Lovee is a smart cookie - she will get that down in no time at all.

Come and visit soon Mom and Dad, Lovee misses you already!
