| LELU |
(ADOPT ME & MY BROTHER MADISON & HIS $150 ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED!)
UPDATE 7/28/09 - My hope is that this information finds its way to Lelu and Madison's original family.
Lelu has passed away. She began having seizures in April, she was put on Phenobarb (anti-seizure
medication)which worked, but her health declined quickly. She had a brain tumor that began to effect
her activity. One morning in late May we woke to find she had gone. Madison is well, although
suffering from detachment disorder. He, as well as us all, miss her very much. Our family would like to
extend our sympathy, as we understand it must have been difficult to give these two up, and now to
learn this. Please know, they are/were very loved here in our home and well taken care of. Lelu is
buried under the tree in the back yard facing the field she loved to run in and the play set so her spirit
may watch over the girls as they play. She was very mothering. My husband found a beautiful boxer
resting place marker and her tags were fixed to it. We have many pictures and would be welcome to
share them with you. My appologies for not sending word sooner, this has been difficult for me to talk
about.
Thank you for sharing Lelu and Madison with our family.
UPDATE 8/28/07 - Lelu loves to cuddle and also loves to antagonize her big brother. She’ll bite
at his ears or his back side until he gets up and pummels her, he’ll grab her back thigh until she says
“uncle� then they’ll jump at each other like two lions fighting over prey. This only lasts 10
minutes or so, their age shows up quickly. Although you wouldn’t think Lelu is 7 by the way she
behaves or looks, she’s very much a puppy at heart. She is doing very well with training, she’s
the star pupil, stay and sit are her favorites. She was a leash puller and we had some trouble with that,
but it has since been squared away and we love walking on the beach and in our 50+ acre back yard.
My husband thinks of Lelu as the Kibble’s n’ Bit’s dog the way she runs around in circles.
She definitely has some leash anxiety or is so extremely excited that she can’t contain herself when
she knows we’re going outside! We worried about the children vying for attention but both Lelu
and Madison have plenty of love to spread around and do so quite willingly. Lelu seems to be the
brains of the brother/sister relationship while Madison the broun.
They both love yogurt with breakfast and pumpkin or rice and gravy with dinner.
Lelu went to the vet the first week they were home with us so the Doctor could look at a skin growth
on her tummy and was given a clean bill of health. We are enjoying their company and love them very
much!
UPDATE 7/28/07 - My husband and I picked up Lelu and her brother Madison last night. Though
there was plenty of room in the truck, Lelu still wanted to rest her head on Madisons back side. When
we arrived we showed them the fenced in yard for them to play and they did. They are both very
smart, I had a pocket full of treats and they showed very good manors to receive one. They haven't
devided, we thought maybe Madison being male would attach himself to my husband and Lelu being
female attach herself to me, but they alternate to give my husband and I the same amount of attention.
After playing in the yard for a half hour or so we went inside for them to explore their new home. They
were very tired and we all laid down on the floor, Lelu rested her head on my arm and fell right to
sleep, she snores. :) They woke a few times in the night just to say hi, I think they wanted to make sure
we were still here. Madison tried to come into bed with us a few times but "off" seems to work well.
They are so friendly and we are blessed to have found them. Our family moto is "things happen for a
reason" and Lelu and Madison were meant to be here as part of our family. Madison and I have an
agreement with his drooling....he does it and I clean it up. :) Lelu is quite the mother hen though, if she
sees he's looking pathetic she'll clean him for me. She is a pacer, she walks around in circles if we're
standing still or Madison is busy.
We start training on Wednesday although I know they don't need formal training, I'm excited to learn
the things they already know.
They are such loves and I thank SCBR for this placement.
We're going for a walk now. More to come as we get to know each other in the coming weeks.
7/27/07 - Lelu has been adopted!
7/11/07 - These two sweetie-pies have totally settled in at the Riverview! Everyone who helped with
their transport fell in love with them, and so did I! They are so well-behaved that they have already
earned full house priveledges. Last night they slept in my bedroom. And this morning I was sandwiched
in between two Boxers like an Orea cookie. MAdison is a real kisser--he will kiss you endlessly if you
let him. I tell him 'enough' after a while and he is starting to learn that. Lelu neither looks nor acts her
age--this girl can cruise around the back yard. Both take treats nice and gently, and are even fine withe
Beau around their food and water. Using the doggie door is now 'old hat' to them so they can go in and
out at their convenience. (Which is very convenient for me as well.) While they behave fine when I am
gone, boy do I get a happy welcoming when I return home. It is great to be loved! So far thye ahve
evidenced only moderate curiosity about my cat, so I am pretty sure that they'd be OK with Kitties as
well as another dog. But I'll give it another day or two before I post them as "Ok with cats" just to be
on the safe side.
7/7/07 - Lelu (pronounce it as Lee-lou) arrived in Maine with her 'brother' Madison after a long trip
from NY--thanks to some wonderful SCBR transport volunteers. She is tiny, but has a sweet
personality. She wagged her nub at my Beau through the kitchen baby gate, and ate a big dinner next
to her brother without a fuss. She even drank out of the same bowl at the same time as him! Lelu and
Madison had a two year old skin child at their home, so I am sure that they are good with children of all
ages. Ubnfortunately, they were surrendered to a great shelter in NY when their family had to move
and couldn't take them with them. Luckily for you and for SCBR, the shelter contacted us so that we
could hold them until they could be adopted out together. They have lived together her whole life. Their
transporter, Missy, said she even 'pig-piled' right on top of Madison on the ride up. (He is a big fellow
and took up most of the back seat.) Now its time for all of us to go to bed.
FROM ONE OF THEIR TRANSPORTERS:
7/7/07 - It was a pleasure to see Anne, Richard and Missy on this transport. These 2 boxers were 2 of
the sweetest, gentlest lovebugs we've ever transported. Hope they find the good homes they deserve.
Barb and Tom
7/7/07 - Mr. Madison and Ms. Lelu were very very sweet. They rode wonderfully for me in my car.
Madison wanted to give me gentle sloppy kisses in the worst way, but settled for kisses in the air when
I wouldn't let him slime my face any more. These guys are going to make someone very happy. They
have plenty of spunk left to play and are mature enough to stay out of trouble. If I had room I would
take them! Jaime
