Hi! I am Bacchus!!


Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog!  As you might know, I tested positive for heartworms, so am on medical hold for a while.  About once a week, I will post about my adventures in my foster home!  Although there won't be a whole lot of adventures because I have to stay quiet during the treatment. :(

Here is the first picture my foster mom saw of me.  This was my shelter picture, before I had my painful left eye removed.  Check out my tie!  I also had a longer hair-do.  My foster mom got me a stylish short haircut soon after I arrived in her home.

Please check back in to see how I am doing.  Thank you!  And, if you have any questions for me, post them in the comments section!

I Do Like Other Dogs! :)

When I first arrived at my foster home, I wasn't sure what was going on.  I had been a stray, and then ended up in a shelter in South Carolina, and then traveled to Virginia to my foster home.   Lots of changes in a short period of time.  There were three other dogs in my foster home, and I was nervous!  When they would come close to my expen, I would growl.  Not every time, but sometimes.  Enough growling, though, that my foster mom thought when my time comes to be adopted, I should be the only dog in my forever home. Now, I wouldn't mind being the only dog in my forever home. I will tell you that. I wouldn't mind having all the attention and all the belly rubs.  I don't really need to be with other dogs. But my foster mom has been watching me with the other dogs in the house.  And I haven't growled at them for weeks!  They seem like pretty good dogs to me, and I like them.  So now my foster mom says it is OK if my forever home includes other do

Ups and Downs

Image
Since my first blog post, a lot has changed in the world!  You can tell by this picture, though, that I am taking COVID-19 in stride; I am relaxing in my foster dad's arms. I know I am in good hands here in my foster home.   I have had a few ups and downs over the past few weeks.  Sometimes I have some trouble with my rear right leg.  My vets have checked me out carefully, and I am on some new medications that are really helping!  Because no one knows what happened to me the first twelve years of my life (since I was a stray in South Carolina), it is hard to know if my leg trouble is due to an old injury or something else.  Anyway, the good news is I am doing better! This Friday I go back to the vet for my next heartworm tablet.  For those who don't know, when a dog is heartworm-positive like I am, I have to take my monthly HW tab at the vet to be observed. I did great with the first one, so am hoping I will do well this Friday.  Then, in another month, I will be r

Relaxing!

Hey there!  Here is a photo of me relaxing.  It is what I do best - passing the time as I move through my heartworm treatment. I am dreaming of my forever home.   Could it be yours?
