UPDATe 8/1/06 - Cleo is doing very well in her new home. I'm not sure if she loves us as much as
we love her but there is a lot of love being exchanged between everybody. Cosmo was not sure if
Cleo was his mail order bride or sister, but I think the relationship is setttling in to sisterly.
We moved to Florida and on the drive down, Cleo met her grandparents, who live in WV. She rode
well in the car and slept beautifully in the holtels.
She is allegic to grass however. Before we left CT she would just hop thru the tall grass when we
walked and she ended up breaking out in hives. She took antibiotics and antiinflammatories for
two weeks but as soon as we hit FL, she broke out again. (So has our boy Rocky.) She gets
bathed pretty regularly and I give her benedril to try to control the bumps. I'm guessing she did
not get to spend much tome out doors before we got her and she needs to get used to all the
allergans? I'm going to buy her a lounge chair so when she goes outside to sunbath and enjoy
the breeze, she will be up off the hot cement and she won't lay in the grass.
So, thank you again for our little girl. We love her so very much. I will take her to school shortly
and report back after she graduates!
UPDATE 7/1/06 - Just so everyone knows, Cleo made it to CT and is making herself at home. She
ate like a champ, (twice) and she seems to like her two new brothers prety well. Cosmo pretty
much follows her around to make sure she knows what's what. So far she has gone in and out of
the doggie door a couple of times and pranced around the back yard looking like she was thinking
to herself, "wow, this is cool"! She pretty much has picked the doggie bed she wants, and I'm glad
to see it's not the new one I bought for her, which has already been taken over by one of the
boyz. I just love her. I had been reading and watching her progress for a while, and she is even
better than I had hoped. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
7/1/06 - Cleo has been adopted!
5/11/06 - Cleo is settleing in nicely. She does not like being crated but is adjusting. She is very
thin and needs to put on some weight but I am sure that will happen soon. I think Cleo will do
best in a home with another dog because she seems much more confident with another dog to
cuddle up to. Cleo is such a sweet lovable girl that I don't think she will be around long so get
your application in soon.
5/6/06 - Cleo was surrendered back to rescue today to find a more suitable home. Her family
was moving and she has separation issues.
Here is some of the info from her last owner: 4/27/06 - "My name is Cleo. I despise the crate and
drool endlessly every time I'm put in it. No matter how often or how long I just feel anxious and pant
and pant until I'm let out.
I am very friendly and love people and children. I don't lick. Instead I carry a toy around in my mouth.
I am pretty passive for a boxer and do listen pretty well. If given the opportunity to run away I might
run around the block but come right back home and will do almost anything to get back into the house.
I love to play fetch and go for walks in the park. I get this sort of attention daily. I sit and will come if
talked to gently.
For some reason I just love to dig. It's my favorite pass time regardless of how hard I am exercised.
I think I would thrive with an owner who lived at the beach so I could dig all day long. Perhaps in the
company of another pooch."
9/26/05 - Cleo is slowly adjusting to her new home. Her biggest challenging is getting used to
being the only dog. At first I thought it was our home, but now it is quite obvious she is just plain
lonely without the other dogs.
Our new dog Cleo is quite a character. She never sits still and is always on the go. Boy can she
bark! She will bark and chase anything that passes or flies through our yard...people, birds and
cats. She is fast as lightening and is incapable of being caught. I have found excessive babytalk
helps to reel her in/come command.
I was puzzled at first why Cleo seemed so mellow at her foster home and so out of control here.
Our house is quite crazy I just hope she will settle down a bit. I play with her on average 2 hours
a day plus a daily walk with heel and other commands. Why is it that she could rest at her foster
home and not bark or jump and now do a 180? Is it fair to say this will be the real Cleo or will she
tame it down a bit?
Lastly, Cleo had a visitor the other day. A 6 month old boy boxer and boy did they play hard. She
really marked her territory. Fair to say this is no push over type of girl she really put that boy in his
place. I will say they played wildly for hours and did not stop from 9-11 am. They would take
some time here and there to clean each other's faces and drink water together. very cute. This
was the highlight of Cleo's week. My mother in-law's dog is in for a rude awakening. That will be
another great obstacle to face when the time comes. I'm sure I'll be writing to scbr.
9/15/05 - Cleo was adopted!
8/23/05 - Cleo was surrendered to a local shelter. The shelter called us for help and with the
help of www.bonesbeagles.org we were able to get her right into rescue. Cleo is a doll, cute as a
button and sweet as can be. She has met the kids and a couple of the dogs, all of which she
loved. Cleo is completely cratetrained and has had no accidents in the house. Cleo listens well and
is a wonderful dog that listens well for only being a puppy. Her old owners said that she would run
away if given the chance, she has not gotten loose here but needs a home that can keep her
safe. This cute little girl will not be around long. She is one sweet girl. We will update you soon.
