Van Camp and Roady sleep after hours of play.

This is Van Camp (smaller) and Roady. Van Camp is our 5 month old Cocker Spaniel / Dachshund Mix. We call her our Cocktail Weenie. Roady is her foster brother. He is a hound mix and about 11 months old. We saw a story about Roadys' rescuer, her house burned down and she lost everything. We wanted to help and saw Roady the next day and fell in love.

He had already been thought more in his first year than I wish any dog would have to experience. He has had a great time with my little Vanny. They play very well together and he has fit in nicely. They both love the dog park and I try to get them out as often as possible.

He has changed from laying on the ground by himself into a cuddle pup in less than a week around us. Vanny doesn't cuddle with us as much now that she has her new foster big brother, they are together all the time now.
