Boy - I remember well this story from the start. So glad it worked out. He is a great looking little guy. His eyes are full of life in the avatar. I volunteered to do home visits. I am not a good fit to foster because I could never let them go...LOL

I already have 4 dogs -- 3 of which are getting up in years.  Plus.. I have Jill's rat terrier here part-time.  I simply cannot take on anymore!  (but I would love to!)

Bossk doesn't look to have worms at this time.  I go outside with him 100% of the time and the poo looks nice and normal.  I have drontal just in case though.

He can be applied for before he hits the Ratbone site if anyone is really interested and feel free to email me with any questions. 

Today he stayed home with the 5 other ratties and he did great!  He learned to use the dog door like a pro and didn't cause any trouble.  Then Shemp (who is flying home tomorrow, tears are ready) and Bossk and I went for a walk to the park and made a few loops and then home.  Bossk is now tuckered out!  Before passing out next to me he ate some puppy food with yogurt and banana.  He said that was YUMMY!

We are going to the vet tomorrow to get an estimate on removing his puppy teeth and neuter.  Hopefully that will all be done this week.  Saturday is PetSmart day so he has to be all ready to show off his good looks!

Thanks for all the posts.  I love hearing how cute and funny he is through his pictures.

Once again, bless you Paula.  When Janie saw his pics she went into meltdown mode, then she saw he is a Tri Teddy, well...you can guess the rest.  Don't be surprised if she throws her hat (and she's got one) in the ring too. There's a reason for that big, fenced in back yard  we want.

And would you look at all his spots, like he cornered the market or somthing.  His tail is even a spot

Do tell how you came up with Bossk, if you don't mind me asking?

Phil,

Thanks for the kind words.  You all keep me so motivated and up beat to keep pressing on in this position.

When hubby agreed that we could foster he wanted to be the one who got to name them all.  So I try sometimes to veto, but it doesn't always work, LOL.  My husband, Buddy, is really into Star Wars (remember Padme?) so Bossk if you google him is a strong and ugly character.  He choose it because he liked it and the strength of the character (NOT THE LOOKS).

You will always know what hubby is into because of the names he comes up with.  We have only had one foster that we did not change his name.  That was Snickers.  Here is my running list, because I know you are dying to know!

1. Deano - Dean Martin

2. Sammy Davis - Sammy Davis Jr.

3. Archie - Archie Bunker (why I'll never know.)

4. Calvin - he just came up with it and he was a temp foster, but his foster mom liked the name so much she kept it.

5. Snickers - came with the name and fit his personality.

6. Padme - Star Wars Character

7. Shemp - One of the Stooges

8. Bossk - Star Wars Character

His is also into all kinds of sport including Nascar so I am shocked he hasn't named one after the drivers or something!  But this is his job in our deal so this is what we get!  LOL

Bossk is still doing awesome and got lots of socilaizing today, but was still growly and unsure.  He'll keep on learning as we go!

Paula, I sent you an email

Maggie,

Now I sent you a LONG email, tee hee!

He has really created a stir and I'm liking it.  He is my little snuggle bear, for now.

Bossk looks so happy.  You must have a really fun house...look at all of that smiling!  I can't come to Petsmart this weekend, but maybe the next time.  I'd love to see this boy in person!  Sooo Cute!!!!

And that appears to be a Harley collar.  Is Bossk a biker?

It is a Harley collar.  His former owner got that for him.  He's a tough cookie so it suits him! 

We do have a fun out!  The dogs RULE!  It's just hubby and I plus our 4 and then whoever is being fostered in a 2 story home.  They play and act wild all day long!

Carol - no Tinkerbell coming to visit us!!  What?!?!  I think we should have people get their pictures taken with such a popular rattie!  LOL  He told me to charge for them too because he doesn't pose for free!! LOL

He's a ham bone.  What can I say?!

I thought it was time for an update.  Bossk is doing great and experiencing new things daily.  He has some updated pictures at www.imageevent.com/rattiemom/bossk  

I hope you enjoy!

Maggie,

You do?  Really, LOL  (Inside joke for now.)

OMG he is just 2 stinkin' cute!

He's a real joy.  I really enjoy his company.  He is a one of a kind wild man and sweetie!

I love looking at his pictures...So, Maggie....when are you getting him???  He is so cute and CoCo is lonely....She told me so.

 I admit nothing.

Where the heck have I been?  This little guy looks like my Sandy!! 

Paula, YOU'RE AWESOME!!

Sue

yeah Nora, I saw that and went back and edited my post LOL... talking about feeling like an idiot!  LOL
