LITTLE MO

Hi all, my turn to update you on how I’m doing! And you must remember me as
well. I’m 'Little Mo' and I’ve been in BTRF's care now for three years and because of
my complicated medical and anxiety issues, I will be staying as a foster dog for quite

some time yet. This means that BTRF can oversee my care very closely and manage
my treatment, which is quite expensive.

Quite a lot has happened for me over the last few months. Aunty Trish (who is the
BTRF Foster Carers' Liaison Officer as well as volunteering with Aunty Kaye on the
Training and Behaviour Team) oversees my care and checks in with the behaviourist
that BTRF has appointed to look after me and my foster parents 'on the ground' as
I live quite a long way from Aunty Trish.

My allergies have always been a worry to BTRF and my care team have been working
to get to the bottom of why I’m so itchy and why my ears cause me problems.

Well, I think we may be onto it now!! I have had a new diet that
a special veterinary nutritionist put together just for me. She has
put yummy diets together for a few of the BTRF foster dogs. I

absolutely LOVE my food and always lick my plate clean!! Early
days yet as I’ve only been on this new yummy diet for two weeks
but my itching seems to be improving so I’m keeping my paws
crossed that the new diet and the special work that my
behaviourist is doing with my lovely foster parents to help me

with my anxieties, is all starting to help me feel better!
I’ve always been a little unsure around other dogs but I am now learning that not all
dogs are scary and I have a very special new friend called Tallon who I meet up with

and he is helping to show me the ropes. Although I was a little unsure to start with
I’m getting more confident and I think I will soon be brave enough to have a proper
play with him.

So that's my story up to now. I’ll keep you posted on my
progress over the next few weeks. But like my BTRF foster
buddies I need ongoing medical and behavioural care
that is funded by BTRF. I know they are constantly

looking at ways to raise funds to ensure that me and my
nine other BTRF foster dogs can continue to receive this
much needed care. If you can spare some pennies or
have any fundraising ideas I know that BTRF would love
to hear from you.

That's all for now folks, take care everyone.

Little 'Mo' xx
