Meatloaf after his 1st grooming!
This past Monday was Meatloaf's 5th Gotcha Day! I
cannot believe it was five years ago that this silly boy came here to be
Fostered… Little did we know when we
picked up that fur ball from the vet's office how much our lives were about to
change!
The
first photo is the one I took just about an hour after he arrived. Believe it or not, my goal was just to trim
his face a bit so he could see. Once I
trimmed around his face, I decided to try to get a bit off the rest of him with
the Mars since he didn't seem to mind and was so relaxed. I've never seen hair come out with a Mars the
way his did that first day, and he never asked me to stop… actually seemed to enjoy it! When we walked out of my sewing room, Dad
couldn't believe it was the same dog that went in there thirty minutes before!
Oh, the joys of a squeaky
Purple Thing!
We
are now anxiously waiting for the mail as I think I've finally located "the
purple" thing that Meatloaf is so crazy about!! Three are on the way to our house… Please keep your fingers crossed that these
are the RIGHT ones!
The
other day when Meatloaf was playing with it, we noticed what had started out as
a tiny puncture had gradually turned into a rather large rip. Thankfully, Dad recently bought some of the
most amazing user friendly super glue and I was able to not only glue the rip,
but to repair it to the point that the toy’s long silent squeaker once more
works!
You
just would not believe how thrilled Meatloaf was with the return of the squeak!
He was like a kid on Christmas morning. Played and played to the point of exhaustion,
and did not want to relinquish it. We
have to have scheduled "purple thing time" every day because Duffy
must be crated or on the deck as the boys would fight for it, and Tori would
tear it up.
Mom!
Shouldn’t you be getting ready for supper? It’s only 2 hours from now…
Thank you Col. Potter for taking him when the call for help came! Thank you Deb C. for B&Bing him, and Sheltie Rescue for saving him!
