With you for me and me for you 

We'll muddle through whatever we do, 

Together, together, wherever, wherever

Together, wherever we go!...

Meet Turkey Man Blue, one half of the Turkey Man Blue/Bella Wella Woo team. Turkey Man Blue responds best to just “Blue” (although at times it fits, he was just a little embarrassed by the nickname Turkey Man). 

HISTORY : Blue and Bella  were turned into a local shelter together because their owner could no longer afford their care. Since Blue and Bella have been in foster care, they’ve put on some much needed weight (Blue certainly loves his food and takes his treats gently).                              

PERSONALITY : Blue is a sensitive, calm, cool, collected, snuggle buddy, and, let’s face it, what dog doesn’t love a belly rub! Blue is all about the belly rubs. While he adores his companion Bella, Blue “worships” his people and will whine (but settle down quickly) when his people leave the room/house. Blue has quite the commanding bark! It’s hard to believe that such a bark comes from a dog his size. Neither Blue nor Bella are destructive when left alone.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Blue enjoys playing tug of war, keep away from, and bitey face with Bella. He would love a lap, any lap, “your” lap to curl up in.

MEDICAL ISSUES : None.

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : While Blue gets along well with dogs his size or smaller, large dogs make him nervous. He would very much love a home where he and Bella could be the only pups vying for their adopter’s attention. Blue did live with a cat in his previous home  and, therefore, would probably not mind sharing a home with a dog savvy kitty, however, Blue’s current foster does not currently own a cat and is unable to confirm as to whether or not this statement is true. Blue would also love a home where his person is home most of the day.  Blue could use some leash work on pulling. 

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:   Blue and Bella love and look forward to car rides. They settle right in and you don’t hear a peep from either one the entire ride.
