More about Bubba

Bubba was born about October 16, 2020 and weighs about 30 lbs.  He is the most adorable grey and white boy that loves everyone and everything!  Yes, he's good with other dogs (as long as they don't mind all the sniffing), cats and kids of all ages.  He is said to be house trained and good on leash.  It seems he may need a leash or fenced yard since he may casually wander off (not very quickly) if you are not watching closely, he does love to lounge on the grass in the summer.  Bubba cannot go on long walks (especially on sidewalks) as, typical of his breed, his snout is so short it can cause problems and because he doesn't pick up his feet and sometimes his nails will bleed.  He is very good in the car and enjoys baths.  We love that he isn't a barker.   Bubba will suckle soft toys or a blanket, but he's never eaten something he should not have.  He was described to us as chill and he loves to nap.  Bubba is fine about his crate and if he has to potty when in the crate he will scratch the door to let you know.  However, he will not go outside when it's raining, maybe a raincoat would help?  He also loves carrots!  Bubba is fine about car rides, but it's really funny when he gets out as he seems to have forgotten how to walk, but he catches on quickly.  He is with us because the lady who loved him dearly could no longer manage his allergies and knew he needed more care.  We are hopeful we can manage the issue and make him more comfortable and then find him a new, forever, home to carry on where we leave off.  Oh, we are told that he makes odd little grunts and "purrs" and he farts a lot!    Two days after arrival we are securing an appointment with a dermatologist at Cornell.  Cornell called back and Bubba has an appointment on April 7th.  In the meantime our vet has him started on an antibiotic and antifungal and he is improving very quickly.  Now if Cornell can identify the source of the problem he should live a healthy, comfortable life here after.
