Foster Dogs of NYC

This is Zeke.
A Bulldog/Australian Cattle Dog mix.
Extraordinary!

He was left in an alley somewhere in Tennessee with a sign on him that read 'freak'.
He was rescued, renamed Zeke and is now adopted.
Isn't he amazing? I think he and George and Ellie would get along famously.
Nice work Foster Dogs Of NYC!

Happy Pups

Back with Momma ready for our journey north!

Best Friends

This is the longest stretch I have ever had without with my fur babies, or as Mims calls them, 'the piggies'... 2 month, 6 days, and counting....

Here's a better way to think about it - only 24 days to go!

I miss them. (Moo moo doesn't.)

Canis Major

George loves going to the vet. Between normal yearly visits, cancer, rehab, specialists, and moves, he been to his fair share. And, they ALWAYS adore him. At 5th Avenue Vet where he sees his oncologist, he is treated like a celebrity. He walks in with his little 'cinnamon bun' tail wiggling away eager for the vet experience. He kisses all the technicians and doctors when they handle him, often taking them by surprise (which is hilarious). He smiles.
I think it says a lot for someone who went through some really rough times with vets and doctors. He still has this incredibly positive attitude and happy disposition.
It's a great lesson in many ways... having a healthy attitude in life, embracing each day fully (even if you have to the doctors office), expecting good things from people, not living in the past and that a little ignorance can be bliss (he IS a dog after all)!

Here he waits patiently for the doctor to arrive.

Happy Maker

This is George and he is VERY talented at a variety of things - not the least of which is posing for a photo with an eel on his head. I love this image because it captures his lovable, goofy, sweet disposition perfectly. He is a happy maker on every level. He adores a snuggle and lives for a good romp.
Poor guys always has something going on though. Lately it is these inter-digital cysts. OUCH.
I wish I could fix it for him but there doesn't seem to be any sort of cure or even good treatment for these buggers. I've tried everything from steroids (which worked while he as on them, but are not a long-term solution) to anti-biotic spray and epsom salts.
Amazingly, the little trooper doesn't let it get him down though - he keeps on smiling.
