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?

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!

Enjoying the Good Weather!

It was a beautiful day yesterday at my Virginia foster home, and I enjoyed wandering around a little bit. I am doing well!  And tomorrow is my first heartworm shot. Here are the details from the American Heartworm Society's protocol: • Administer appropriate heartworm preventive • Administer first melarsomine injection, 2.5 mg/kg intramuscularly (IM) • Prescribe prednisone 0.5 mg/kg BID first week, 0.5 mg/kg SID second week, 0.5 mg/kg EOD for the third and fourth weeks • Decrease activity level even further: cage restriction; on leash when using yard. I am not looking forward to any of that, but I am looking forward to being heartworm-free!  Please keep me in your thoughts tomorrow.  Thank you!  And keep coming back to check on my blog.

Hanging Out

Hi!  I got a springtime haircut on Tuesday.  This picture is a "before" picture. I will post an "after" picture soon!  The groomer smoothed out my facial hair some; you can still see, in this picture, where I was shaved when my left eye was removed. The groomer said I was very sweet.  And I have had a good week, eating well, walking well, just feeling fine! A week from tomorrow is my first heartworm shot.  I know my foster mom is a little nervous about it;  she says it will be painful, but I am a tough guy!  I will be fine!  Still, please be thinking of me! Thanks for checking in. I hope you are staying well!
