So happy for my lil buddy!!!
I volunteer as a foster for Fluffy Dog Rescue and WI Westie Rescue. I live in a quirky old house, with my family, that we fondly call "The Plantation". It is here that we "fall in love" with every dog we foster! The purpose of this blog is to provide additional photos, descriptions and videos so you can learn more about our fluffy foster and follow his or her journey until a fur-ever home is found. You may even "fall in love" just like we have!!! Thanks for looking and for choosing RESCUE!

Photo shoot :)
Hot Sauce has totally settled down and is a sweet pup. He is turning into a little couch potato. Ha! He sleeps on our bed even (sometimes) and he’s a cuddler.
I have learned with Christmas and company that Hot Sauce is shy and rather fearful ‘at first’ of new people who come into the house. Especially men. Women he seems much better about. Tonight he barked at our guy friend, Mike. Once Mike was at our house a while Hot Sauce got over it and even snuggled by our friend while he sat on the couch. Haha! So it’s just initially that Saucy gets scared. Once things are safe he settles down very quickly. I just put Saucy on a leash when he got fearful and brought out a few treats. Worked like a charm! A few minutes later all was well. :)

Size comparison
I thought you could see in this compilation of photos on bottom right that Hot Sauce is not that large! I take him to the small dog area at the dog park. See the size diff with the big dogs! He’s a hoot at the park! So happy and springy and climbs like a cat onto the structures. He’s fun!!!

I can SIT
Tuesday, December 19, 2017
Warm-ish Day! ☀️
Wouldn’t you love to hug this cutie patootie?!? We were heading here again on a walk! I try to walk Saucy every morning. He is walking really well now. He did bark at a boy playing and he sounds like a Beagle. Last night he caught on to the concept of sit! What a smartie. I think in a few days he will totally have it down pat!
Saucy is settling in more and more. We have to watch him closely for grabbing ‘stuff’... like he thinks toilet paper is fun to unroll!! Lol! Just puppy behavior! He will put his paws up on things still but not as much ...unless it’s food! He would make a fun dog for a family or anyone who likes a dog with a ‘spring’ to his step!!!
Saucy is really a snuggle bug, too!!! He loves being rubbed behind his ears and enjoys a comfy couch!
Later...
At the bank drive through and Saucy is a bit worried what’s going on! He hugs against foster mom!!!
Second Dog Park Adventure...
New pup friends!
Playing! Haha!
Height advantage!!!
Zooooooom!!

Awesome Monday!!!
We both started the morning with breakfast. Then a walk (Saucy did great on his walk today) and finally some dog pillow time with toys! :) Isn’t he so CUTE!
I had to go to work so HS went into his crate and he got a Kong with peanut butter and treats inside. He seemed fine and was quiet and laying down EVEN when I got home.. so he did great!
In the afternoon we went to the dog park. Please enjoy these pics:
Everyone thought he was just adorable and a very sweet, friendly dog! Many said they ‘wished’ they had room for one more!!! ❤️

A few pics from Sunday!
Walking dogs! Saucy, Asti, Parson.
Flying ears as he jump-walks! Haha!
Saucy wants a treat after his walk!!! ❤️
Snuggled against a Packer jersey! Too bad they lost! 😬
Being so so CUTE on the doggy bed!
Saucy is starting to relax more and is working on ‘house manners’. He likes to put his paws up on counters etc and snoop his nose into baskets etc and grab slippers etc. ‘You know’... that puppy behavior just like a toddler! Lol!!! We worked on OFF today and he is already catching on. Good Boy Saucy!!! 😊
One more thing to note: Saucy has springs for legs! He’s a Tigger (like Winnie the Pooh). He hops so cute and is full of joy.
Saucy’s First Walk!

Hot Sauce
Hot Sauce arrived tonight via Bob’s adopters. Thanks!!! ❤️ Saucy is very friendly and is playful... not the shy type. He has beautiful big eyes! He’s just super super cute!!! Saucy is currently snoozing on the couch next to me! We both are ready to take it easy after a busy day.
Stay tuned for new updates about Saucy on Sunday!!!
Congrats Bob!
Congrats to our little Bob! He was adopted today and will enjoy a new dog friend to boot! Yay Bob!!!

Snowy Bob
Snow is tough when your legs are short and it’s deep! We shoveled a circle in our yard so Bob has a potty area! He has ventured out into the snow some but it takes energy and planning! Lol! Bob of course likes to sniff the snow and acquires a “snow snout”!!!

Celebrating
Today we had a bit of early Christmas celebrating in our home. Bob wore his cute red sweater. To say Bob was loved by everyone would be an understatement!
I think Bob would do great in any household. He loves people. Bob is playful but also a snuggler. I do not know if he will find his forever home before Christmas but if not we don’t mind keeping him here at all and he just might find a gift with his name on it under the tree! He’s been a very good pup! 🎄❤️
Lap snuggles!
Checking out the gift opening!
Zonked out after a busy day of fun!

Still waiting
Really??? This little guy still has no home? It’s ok, Bob. We adore having you here! ❤️ To apply for Bob go to Fluffydog.net and pull down the corner menu. Choose rescue and pull down the menu there to find the application. It’s a simple process!
Today we had a scare! I didn’t realize when I let the dogs outside in my yard after work that my repair man had not latched my gate. I went in the house for a moment and when I came back out there were no dogs in the yard! Yikes!!! I went running out of the gated yard and started calling and not a single dog in sight. OH NO!!! I did see a mail woman walking and asked her if she had seen three little dogs and she said no but she would keep an eye out. I ran in the house to call my husband to help me look, he was at work, and he said he would be right home. I then ran back outside and started running around and calling around the neighborhood and all of a sudden around a big pine tree came Asti followed by Parson and the caboose was little Bob. I was never so happy! 😀
I knew my dogs would find their way home I was just mostly afraid of a little Bob getting lost… But he stayed with the pack and he happily ran right to me! I guess they were just zooming around the neighborhood! They all got triple the treats when they came in the house… I was just so so happy they were back home!!!
This is also a good time for me to mention always ALWAYS keep tags on your dogs even if they are in a fenced yard because things like this happen. All my dogs wear tags so that was a comfort!!!
