Sport and Button are both 5 year old Pekingese doll bugs!!!! Button is female and Sport is male, and they have been together forever. They are both indoor dogs but like to be taken out for walks regularly. They sleep together and frequently use each other as a pillow! (They like to curl up together in a very large plastic crate ... it's really quite adorable!)
Button takes longer than Sport to warm up to strangers but comes up to her foster mom excitedly now, and she loves to play with toys and take them to bed with her. She spends a little less time with her foster parents than Sport. Sport loves to be held and snuggles into you when you pick him up. He is not as inquisitive or eager as Button, but he makes up for it with love. His eyesight is a little bad and that can slow him down sometimes, but at other times you wouldn’t even notice it.
Both of them are missing a few teeth so they get softened food. (It doesn't slow them down much for crunchy things, though!) They are working on their leash manners and they ride well in the car. Sport is still trying to figure out what stairs are, so he would do best where he wouldn’t have a lot of stairs to maneuver.
They are getting more secure around people now, and both are good with kids. Sport especially loves kids as long as they know how to treat dogs kindly and respectfully.
Button and Sport currently live with other dogs and cats and enjoy the company of both. On several occasions their foster mom has come into a room to see a fur pile of dogs and cats curled up on the couch together!
These two sweethearts definitely need to stay together. If they are out of each other’s sight for very long they get upset (even just long enough to get bathed). They did not have much attention in their first home, so they learned to rely on each other. With a little time, love, and patience they will warm up wonderfully to their new "forever family," just as they did with their foster family.
Are you going to give them their “forever home?”
