Updates + Meet Chester!

It's been a while since I've written a real entry.

Quickly:

Spaz was adopted. Yay!

Boris was doing well in his new foster home with his new foster brother, but then his foster brother went to rescue and it was noticed that he had stopped eating. They discovered that he has an ulcer on his tongue, so he's being treated for that. Poor guy.

Now, Meet Chester!

Chester is a 4 year old field spaniel who is available for adoption through Friends FUR Life K9 Rescue. He came in as a stray with his sister who was adopted very quickly. They both tested positive for heartworms. He was about 32 lbs and very skinny, but it was hard to tell under all his fur. I was looking at him for my grandmother, but he was too big for her. I fell in love with him immediately and brought him home, hoping to fatten him up and treat his heartworms, then find him a fantastic home.

Chester has gained 8 lbs in two weeks and has been pulled by a rescue, so his heartworm treatment will be starting soon. He is a great dog; sweet, calm and friendly. He is house broken and is fine being left out unattended. He gets along well with our Honey (obviously) and does fine with Madeline, though he would probably be better if she were friendlier. He hasn't gotten on the furniture (too often) uninvited and is perfectly happy laying on the floor. He's not really a bed dog. There are really only two annoying things that are really annoying about him: his obsession with rabbits and his territorial barking. He cannot function as a normal living creature if there is a rabbit in sight or even a whiff of a rabbit. He is a dog possessed. And the barking isn't bad, either, and it's getting better, but he still does it whenever the neighbors are being loud. We're working on it.
