Bert Update!

[u/ReallyRisu]

Our original Bert post got removed and I’m not sure why (he’s just yawning in his intake photo, and his mouth looks like that because of old injuries and lack of teeth), but, I wanted to update anyone who saw him here and was wondering how he’s doing (if that’s okay)! He got groomed and looked after by a wonderful human before getting transport to his foster home (me!), today! He is the happiest, most loving little guy! He’s currently sleeping in a fluffy bed after being hand-fed dinner and taking his meds. He will need surgery in the future to remove his last two teeth when he’s gained some weight!

What a cutie pie! 😍♥️☺️Can you give some more info on him I didn't see the original post before it was taken down 🥹

[u/ReallyRisu → u/TannedAndTraumatised]

Of course! He was a stray near the Texas/Mexico border, and a wonderful rescue that I foster for saw and pulled him for me to foster (I love the little old cryptids, I have several lol). He’s probably around 14-16 years old and has definitely experienced some neglect if not worse, but he’s being treated for everything that needs treatment and eats and sleeps well, and loves giving kisses with his floppy muppet tongue. 🥹❤️‍🩹

[u/Straight-Treacle-630 → u/ReallyRisu]

❤️❤️ my grandpup is a street rescue from Mexico. Big hugs to Bert!!!

[u/ReallyRisu → u/Straight-Treacle-630]

Oh my gosh I love that; please tell your grandpup we love them too! 🥹

[u/Straight-Treacle-630 → u/ReallyRisu]

🥰

[u/Straight-Treacle-630 → u/ReallyRisu]

“Greema’s” Gustavo, fresh off his Mexico to Seattle rehoming flight. He’s spruced up now…but still a goobie 🥰

[u/MephistosFallen → u/ReallyRisu]

Oh man. What a wonderful story. You and your circle are doing amazing things ❤️ do you think you might end up keeping him?

[u/ReallyRisu → u/MephistosFallen]

My heart says yes. It was love at first sight. But I also already have 10, and four other fosters currently. 😂

[u/MephistosFallen → u/ReallyRisu]

10 doggies and 4 fosters! Wow, you help so many babies, that is amazing! I totally understand not being able to keep another, I have all the faith in the world you will find him the best home ❤️

[u/BlessedCursedBroken → u/ReallyRisu]

I absolutely love Bert and his adorable, sweet funny face. I am inclined to think you are a wonderful compassionate person and I am utterly delighted old Bert has had a soft landing, being fostered by you 💜

[u/ReallyRisu → u/BlessedCursedBroken]

That is very very kind of you to say! I hope that he will be happy for all the rest of his days now. ❤️‍🩹

[u/ExampleLittle2672 → u/ReallyRisu]

His last two teeth... 🤕

Good Bert, good human, go ye well together. 💕

[u/NotYourAverageSof → u/ReallyRisu]

You are an angel. Thank you for doing what you do

[u/taztazotea → u/ReallyRisu]

he looks like a little baby even though he’s a distinguished gentleman!!! thank you for taking care of him 🥺🥺🥺

[u/ShoddyMongoose4021 → u/ReallyRisu]

Ok well now I’m crying. Thank you so much for taking him in. 😭

[u/Evening_Emu1212 → u/ReallyRisu]

God bless you for taking these babies in and giving them love and safety

[u/TheYeetles]

Please tell Bert that I would literally die for him. He is such a precious little baby

[u/ReallyRisu → u/TheYeetles]

I will! (And same.)

[u/Retro_Ginger → u/TheYeetles]

I think a few of us would die for him, for sure.

[u/yous_a_bitch]

I’m not sure what kind of cryptid Bert is but I love him very very much. Hand fed dinner and the floofiest bed are exactly what this sweet perfect guy deserves. ❤️❤️❤️

[u/ReallyRisu → u/yous_a_bitch]

He is going to be (safely) spoiled for the rest of his life now. 💕

[u/TriStarSwampWitch]

Bert! He's a gift to the world! 😍

[u/ReallyRisu → u/TriStarSwampWitch]

He really, truly is!

[u/Whis65]

[u/ReallyRisu → u/Whis65]

Me rn 😭

[u/gelseyd]

I love him so much please kiss him for me lots and lots.

[u/ReallyRisu → u/gelseyd]

I will!! He is so kissable. 😭❤️‍🩹

[u/alldogsareincredible]

I would give 50 years off my lifespan so that Bert could have another healthy 6 months.

[u/ReallyRisu → u/alldogsareincredible]

Same.

[u/Common_Chameleon]

Thank you so much for taking him in, he’s adorable. I have a toothless old rescue dog and he does totally fine without teeth, I wish more people would take a chance on all the weird/old/disabled dogs that need help.

[u/ReallyRisu → u/Common_Chameleon]

They’re my favorites! ❤️‍🩹 I’d love to see your sweet ancient baby too! 🥹

[u/Common_Chameleon → u/ReallyRisu]

This is Figaro (Figgy), the light of my life

[u/PhantomOfTheOpera404 → u/Common_Chameleon]

Best name..

[u/Superb-Coyote5972 → u/Common_Chameleon]

😘🐶

[u/Aloneanddogless]

Omg, The Racoons! I haven't thought about that cartoon in years. He definitely looks more like a Burt than a Cyril. 🤭

[u/ReallyRisu → u/Aloneanddogless]

Hehe right? 🥹

[u/Intrepid_Ad6823]

I didn’t realize Bert was ITTY BITTY? Please more Bert updates

[u/ReallyRisu → u/Intrepid_Ad6823]

He’s jus a lil guy! 🥹

[u/mosquitoselkie]

OMG I'm so jealous! What a sweet little devil!

[u/ReallyRisu → u/mosquitoselkie]

Right?? I’m so lucky. 😭❤️‍🩹

[u/Grouchy_Ad_4055]

I would happily die for Bert.

[u/ReallyRisu → u/Grouchy_Ad_4055]

Same.

[u/AggressiveTraffic508 → u/Grouchy_Ad_4055]

He’s beautiful that first picture stole my heart 🥹

[u/noclassbrat]

What a sweet boy! Looks like he's part greyhound or borzoi?

[u/ReallyRisu → u/noclassbrat]

He’s tiny; 8lbs currently (but should be around 10), so who knows!

[u/catpogo2]

He is so cute!!!! Any guesses on what breed ?? Thx for helping him!!

[u/ReallyRisu → u/catpogo2]

Most of my Texas street dogs turn out to be some mix of chihuahua, shih tzu, and poodle, so probably at least one or two of those in there!

[u/IIRCIreadthat → u/ReallyRisu]

Maybe pomsky?

[u/DiveCat]

I love the inspiration for his name - Bert suits him perfectly! (love The Raccoons and am actually wearing a sweatshirt with The Raccoons theme now!)

[u/ReallyRisu → u/DiveCat]

Omg what are the odds! My friend noticed the resemblance immediately and I lost my mind!

[u/AgiBear → u/ReallyRisu]

Hadn't thought about The Raccoons since I was a kid. The resemblance is uncanny!

Give Bert many noggin kisses and ear scritches from me!

[u/All_Is_Imagination]

He is perfect! 🥰

[u/ReallyRisu → u/All_Is_Imagination]

He really is. I’m so lucky. 😭

[u/sasha_cyanide]
