Papa
We are sad to share that another of our special dogs has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Papa was in foster care living in Arizona for the cold months, and spending the summer in Maine. AND he even got to join us at this year's Nekkid Party, where he got to meet lots of our members.

Papa came to us as a senior dog, blind and with some special health challenges. He had a great life with his foster mom and dad, Sue and Bob, and we send our love and condolences to them both. We know you'll miss your special time with Papa. Thank you for giving him a forever home to live out his final time surrounded by love. Rest in Peace, Papa.

Peyton
We're sad to share that a BisB dog, Peyton, passed away last week very suddenly. Here he is with his mom at the Nekkid Party this past fall. This joyful, loving acrobat never met a stranger, and brought his family so much joy. We know he will be missed. Hugs to you all.

Fanny (Diana)
It is with a heavy heart that I write this update. I had hoped I wouldn’t have to be sending this news for a while but Fanny (Diana) has passed away. Monday evening she had an awful seizure that she never recovered from. Tuesday morning she peacefully passed away surrounded by family. She is missed by everyone, especially by me. She was one amazing dog. We had a wonderful time together.

In the past twelve months were truly memorable. Fanny bonded with my (new) husband over football games. They loved their lazy Sundays together. She also helped to "hatch" our son. She spent hours nested atop the belly. The picture attached of Fanny on the belly was taken a day before my water broke. We joked that we wanted her as my dula for delivery.

Since the birth of our son, Fanny was a total sweetheart. I was worried she would be jealous but she wasn’t. She was so nurturing and sweet. She would cuddle next to Simon and gently lick him. Just a month ago we bought a house after moving around for a little bit. Fanny was the queen of the house. She had a big yard where she enjoyed summer days. She was so happy at the new house.

She had been so happy and it hard to think she is gone. I just want to thank you all for what you do for these dogs. She was the best dog I have ever had. I am so sad that this had to be my update.

Rest in peace, 9 9 13

Arabella ❉
Arabella was a sweet hairless mix who came to us in rough shape. After treating her skin issues for some time, we learned she had mast cell cancer that was spreading, and inoperable.

A special thanks to many donors who stepped in to help cover the cost of her care during the time she was with us. She enjoyed the beautiful summer weather, and lots of TLC from her foster parents, before she left us. Bella will always have a special place in our hearts.

Skeeter
8/8/13 Please send out your warm thoughts to the family of Skeeter, a BisB dog that passed away last week from congestive heart failure. His family shared these words, "Skeeter warmed my family's heart as he did to everyone he touched. This little old man had a wonderful life thanks to Bald is Beautiful and as his foster family, we thank you for that."
