Biggie 12-043 [1]

Don't let Biggie's name fool you. He is not very big physically, but he does have a big ol' golden heart filled with affection and an even bigger one with patience. Biggie arrived at his new foster home in Cedar Rapids, IA very late on 2-11-12 after a long 800 mile journey from North Dakota. They don't get much longer than that! Biggie says "thanks" and gives the two-paws-up sign of approval to the awesome RAGOM transport teams that got him safely here. Sure beats walking!!
 
What a deal for Biggie to deal with once he got here so late at night. Biggie needed to quickly adjust from life in cars for the day to an animal carnival with 4 new dogs and 4 cats for the night.
After that long of trip, anything short of asking for a T-bone hot off the grill for supper was acceptable behavior. As most fosters are their first night, he was a little nervous, a little restless, not very sleepy, and a whole lot curious. (Another foster (Bowen) who made part of the trip with him was also spending the night with us.) Once all of that was enough and the pecking order was established, everyone finally settled in for a long 1-1/2 hour nap. Biggie has some sleep to catch up on tonight! (Please, Biggie, please!!)
 
Biggie is light-to-medium golden in color, slender build, energetic, and loves to have toys. He went through the entire basket of dog toys looking for just the right one. It keeps changing, but tennis balls and a kong seem to be his two top favorites. To early for much more Biggie details in this report, but will post more after he has his vet appointment tomorrow and give you all the vital stats. We will also see how he ride in the car WITHOUT a kennel. After an 800-mile ride in a kennel, maybe Biggie DID deserve that T-Bone hot off the grill when he got here after all!
