I have here with me now...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Mattie is blind – both eyes were removed due to glaucoma. Despite this,
she is outgoing, happy, confident, and not at all hesitant getting around the
house. Jasper, her companion, is actually less certain of himself.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>They are very bonded, and spend a lot of
time in their (open) crate napping together. They are an adorable pair that
cause no problems or stress whatsoever. And they are healthy and easy keepers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State> earlier this
year (late spring/early summer, I think). They were here a couple of months,
and then adopted. Alas, their foster dad developed huge allergies to them, and
that was making it nearly impossible for him to work because the meds knocked
him out. So the family regretfully returned Mattie and Jasper to me after a
couple of months of trying different approaches to deal with the allergies was
unsuccessful.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I’m looking for a foster home and/or
an adoptive home for this sweet pair. If anyone is interested, or knows someone
who might be, please refer them to me....I’m at 6 dogs in the house,
which is a lot! And I’d love some help with food costs – they are
really putting me under!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
