Happy New Year!

I am anxiously awaiting the start of the New Year cause I know my forever family will find me in 2010!

While hanging around, I thought I would share some photos.

Here I am in my spiffy winter coat that was given to me by my southern sister, Genny. Genny's mom bought it for her and it was way too big. It's roomy on me but I think I still look pretty dapper in it. And it certainly has gotten a lot of use in this subzero temperature weather!

Here I am opening my foster dad's present. He let me help. He said it was better than having me chew on his shoes. :-)

Here's one of a close up of my nose.

Here's one of my ginormous ears.

One of me and my foster mom holding paws. She had the nerve to ignore me for 10 seconds so I had to offer my paw to her to remind her that I was still here.

And this one is my "look ma, no teeth" photo. Cracks my foster mom up every time she looks at it!

Happy New Year everyone!

Merry Christmas from Scot!

Scot wants to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

He also wants to thank everyone involved in his rescue and all the people that have sent him well wishes and good thoughts since arriving here in New England! He will truly have a Merry Christmas this year and many more years to come.

Scotlund Update - 9 weeks in rescue

Hi, Scot here. I'm just hanging around waiting for my forever home to find me. Since landing with NEBCR, I have been de-wormed, de-liced, shaven (twice), neutered, fed and loved. It's definitely the way to go!

The more days that go by, the stronger I get. I arrived weighing 55 lbs and now I'm a strapping 65 lbs! I'm playful and very, very affectionate. In fact, if I don't get what I think is the adequate amount of attention, I will sit in front of you and look longingly into your eyes with my big brown ones. If that doesn't work, I plop my big left paw on your lap. If you don't respond to the left paw, I try my right paw. Still not giving me affection? I flop over and offer my belly.

I LOVE toys - balls, stuffed ones, de-stuffed ones, shoes, slippers. My foster dad is a little upset at me because I grabbed one of his $70 boots and took it outside without him knowing and chewed the back of it. I don't know why he was so upset. He has another one.

If you've got room in your heart and home for me and my ginormous ears, email my foster mom. She can tell you more about me and see if maybe we are a match!

Scotlund - one of the Lucky 7

Scotlund - the day he came off the transport truck from the puppy mill seizure.

A few days later, after being shaven to rid him of the mats and lice that had been living on him for who knows how long.

Scot, today, 3 weeks after being in the care of NEBCR. His worms are gone, his lice nits are almost gone, his anemia is almost gone, his UTI is gone, his giardia (fingers crossed) is gone and he is beginning to act like the 8 year old puppy that he is. He is learning his name, probably the first name he has had in a long time. He greets us with wiggles and wags and a toy in his mouth. He is delightful.
