He is a PRINCE!! He is the nicest dog I have ever been around. I'm crying all the time, can't let myself think about this sweet angel being neglected. He already has a huge part of my heart.
L and S have a picture up on my wall -- I have a shrine to them! They are SAINTS! I can only imagine the work they have done with this little fella! We went for a walk around the block and when we went up and down curbs, he would stumble, and fell down once. He must have been a total wreck when they got him out. It's only their loving care that has made him able even to get around the back yard, I'm sure. But he has such a great spirit, and is always cheerful and game for any project; I'm sure he will bulk up soon.
He has some patches where the skin is really dry and the hair is brittle and broken -- I'm wondering if R even fed him decent food. But S and L have given him a good start, and he's going to get nothing but the best. I have to cook for Allie's kidney diet anyway, so I might as well cook for Rowan as well and give him a high-protein diet with extra canola oil for the skin. He's getting Omega-3, CoQ10, B-50, Vit E, calcium, and I'm throwing in Allie's glucosamine/MSM joint formula just for thrills. He's also getting digestive enzymes and an herbal mix sprinkled on his food to make it all bioavailable. Between them, these dogs are going to bankrupt me ;-)! But it's going to be so rewarding to see him blossom.
Rowan already had a cat encounter and completely ignored him, much to my relief!
I don't actually have any exciting stories to tell yet, but will be sure to write once he has settled in and I have something to report.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing this little guy into our lives!! He is so good-hearted, and promises to be such a wonderful member of the family. It feels like he's always been here. Please give L and S my thanks too!
