Dante Here! I want to tell you what rescue has been doing for me. I was lonely and they gave me company, both human and doggie friends. I was hungry and they let me pick out the best things to eat. I was thirsty and they gave me clean water to drink. I was sick, out of breath, so out of breath it was hard for me to breathe unless I was standing all the time and they took me to a vet and the people there made me feel better. I am dry, warm, well fed and welcome in all parts of my new foster family's house. I can take my pick of places to sleep. I lack for nothing, I even have 2 baskets full of toys to play with. I like balls...Ballz Oh Yeah!
I listened at the vet place and everyone was very sad. They said I have heartworms and a bad heart too. They said my heart is too big and it doesn't work right. They took x-rays. Note: to all dogs out there, when they take you for x-rays its your job to pitch a fit, humans like to feel they are working hard to get you to lie still, don't disappoint them. I have to take medicine in the morning and again at night to keep my heart working right and keep my lungs from filling up with fluid, so I can breathe easy. I don't mind the pills, they are wrapped in food, so I eat them. I know its medicine, but don't want to cause a fuss. That is just the kind of dog I am. The people here think I am 5 years old and I think it rude that they had so many people look in m
y mouth to find out. Why don't they just ask me? My medicines make me have to pee alot, but I am learning to tell when I need to go and I only pee-d in the house once and I tried to get it into the toilet so no one got mad. I mark outside, but I know its a no-no inside the house.I like strangers, kids, even the UPS guy! I like other dogs. It doesn't matter what size they are. Big or Small they are all my friends! I like cats too, but some cats are just mean so I give them the stink eye. I am watching you, mean cats! I will stay in a crate just fine, but I don't like to. I would rather walk around and investigate. I am very nosey and like to look at everything. I know where my people keep all the good stuff...even the hamster! Have you ever watched a hamster? Man, that's the best! Its better than TV! I pawed the hamster wheel once and it flew off. Ashe the hamster was inside and now I think she is mad at me. Believe me, its not the worst I can do, I will eat her if my foster family would let me. I can open drawers and closet doors. I look in, but I don't take anything out. Okay, okay I get in the trash, but hey if you don't want me to do it just say so and I will stop. I walk great on a leash and like riding in the car. When I go out in public the girls go crazy! Single guys who want to meet girls, this is your chance. I am a chick magnet! I have learned a bunch of commands already so you can teach me tricks to impress the ladies. I am a genius!
This is a picture of me with my new buddy Andrew. He didn't like me at first, but he thinks I am pretty great now. I have that effect on grumpy dogs...they come around eventually. I do have a bad habit of chasing the family's French Guineas. Really in my defense the are begging for it. Andrew said Momma doesn't allow it. Well, we will see what Momma don't allow!
