Better Every Day

Niko is getting more energy with each passing day. I haven't noticed any weight gain yet, but I am keeping a close eye on this. He is acting more and more like a puppy every day. Last night, I caught him in the trash and then he stole a shoe! Normally, I wouldn't encourage this behavior, but it is so wonderful to see him acting like a normal puppy. As I write this though, he is snoring very loudly! It is bedtime. : )

Niko's sister, Daizi, is doing just as well. Here is a note from Daizi's foster mom:

Well, my little girl definitely feels much, much better! yesterday she had so much fun playing with the stuffed animals ... killed about 8 of them! picked up the tennis ball, tried to get 2 in her mouth. A lot of the tick scabs are gone and going ... her hair is also departing and I know she has begun to put on some weight ... she is going to get another bath, not a favorite! Did manage
to clip her nails without much fanfare ... Am still not encouraging her to run - no tossing of the
ball, etc. Also, yesterday was the first time I noticed that she noticed the birds .....

Both, Daizi and Niko still have a long road to go but they are making great strides towards recovery. They will be in foster care a long time before they will be ready for adoption. Once they have gained weight they will be ready for heartworm treatment. This can be very hard on them and also very expensive. Please consider donating towards their care.

If you are in the D/FW area, please stop by and see Niko and Daizi at our next meet and greet at Orvis in Dallas. We will be there until 2:00. The address is:
