Diesel my handsome boy 8 months later


Recommended Posts

I was talking to a former roomate who came to visit and he made a comment about how Diesel has recovered so well since we got him. Honestly I haven't though about it much lol but he is quite right.

When we first adopted him he had several issues and was dangerously under weight; hips prominently showing and you could count every rib from across the room :(. When I first got him, and after the car accident, I was so depressed we'd never get weight on him :( Now he's at perfect weight and a complete handful :) I'm so proud of his recovery he's such a handsome sweet boy when he wants to be :D

This is the first day we had him at this point he was suffering from a scrotal hematoma(I'm sure I spelled that wrong) as well as two different kinds of worms and had next to no appetite :(

This was taken about one month after we had gotten him after his hematoma cleared up :)

that last picture says it all!!!! what a smile! you're right, he has come a long way & until someone points it out, you don't realise the difference you are making with him, after all you see him every day .... he certainly is a handsome young chap!!

It's funny but you really don't see it when you live with them lol. All it takes is massive love and some good quality dog food. Couple that with some time and exercise and he's a whole new dog :)

Thanks everyone I'm still really glad my friend talked me into going to the shelter that day despite all the challenges of a rescue it's all worth it to see that silly smile :)
