Hi Folks! Just a quick zap to let you know how precious little Biscuit is doing. You had told me he might have teeth issues and I could kind of tell that from his breath (!!!!) anyway, so last Tuesday he had his trip to the Vet, who said his mouth was "rotten" with bleeding and bad teeth ,etc., so seven hours later, he came home a staggering drunken dog (still on the anesthesia) with scraped clean gums and minus FIVE bad teeth! He was out of it for a day or two but received lots and lots of hugs and kissies, and now, you would hardly know him! Biscuit is incredibly perky,and every morning when we get up he does this funny little dance on his hind legs, and does the same when it's time to go out. When he go on hikes he kind of bounces along in joy. His breath problem is gone and he just seems so much happier and healthier. People that meet him can'believe he's eight years old. He has his own little quirky ways...when I go down cellar, if I turn right (to the computer area) he does not follow me (he watches me from the top of the stairs) but if I turn left and open the door into the laundry room, he comes bombing down the stairs to come investigate, for some reason the laundry room fascinates him. (Now if I could just train him to separate the whites from the colored). He has found lots of cozy corners around the house that he has made his own. But despite all his feeling better, he still is the fussiest eater I have ever met and I must cook him all his meals (chicken and rice or beef and rice) and if any is left over and reheated for the next day, he turns his nose up at it! I guess you can tell from all this that he has us eating out of the palm of his hand....sleeping on the beds and eating like a king. But we have already grown quite attached to him, and find him to be very precious and a joy to our lives....thank you for rescuing him and bringing him to us. We wove him! Woof woof!
