So there's not many, but I had to share these pics at least of Joey and Merlin. Both are adapting slowly but well; Merlin is still very nervous but he is content to come sit on the couch with us. I just don't think he's used to humans at all. =/ But, he is cute, that's for sure...

The Belly-Banded Boys

I just love his face... <3

And lastly, I think Merlin is making fun of Joey..

I hope you find them a great home.

I think they look like their adapting
and fitting in well. Two precious boys.

So sweet to see them lounging on the couch. It's awesome how quickly they can adjust to living the good life!

Thanks guys!!

Belly bands are just a strip of fabric, usually with velcro at the top to 'secure' it, that you wrap around a dogs belly (and his wee-wee) to keep them from lifting their leg and marking indoors. Basically a potty training aid; like a diaper but for boys. We start out lining ours with a panty-liner or pad too for absorbency; but usually once the dogs 'catch on' what they're for and realize a wet band is not comfy, they keep them dry anyway. Then slowly; as the dog gets used to just peeing outside; you allow more and more free time without wearing one until you've eliminated them completely. They are a must have at my house for fosters who are rarely potty trained lol.
