Truly Disgraceful

Looks like you're in the "Soft Heart Club", too!

Gayle...he is such a sweet looking dog. I bet he feels soooo much better. You all are wonderful for all the things you've done for him so far. I will keep the little guy in prayer that he does not have heartworm. He probably thinks he's in doggy heaven things are sooo good...lol. You're a dear Angel Gayle!! Now I want face pics...lol...I know...I'm a pain!

Gayle, I bet the little guy felt so much better after you got all of the mats, ticks, and burrs off of him! It certainly sounds like he must be a special little guy! I hope that he works out well for your daughter and her family.

You and your husband are a true heros. I am so glad that he found you.

I promise, I'll try to get face pictures today!!!

Good News! He does not have heart worms! The vet said he is not a day over a year old, if that, and as such, is too young to have heart worms. He did test him though, just to be sure and the test was negative.

The vet says he is very healthy, no problems at all. He said he needs to gain a couple of pounds, but thinks he will with some good food. Oh, and he is a schnauzer - maybe mixed with something else because his long matted hair did not look like schnauzer hair - but shaved, he looks just like a schnauzer and the vet confirmed.

He is so trusting and well behaved. When my daughter took him into the vet office, there were lots of other dogs/cats. She said he barked and strained against the leash when they walked in. But she just picked him up and he completely relaxed in her arms. She sat down on a bench and he sat beside her and never said another word or acted out in any way. The vet said his temperament is great.

We are very lucky to have found him (and visa versa)!

Gail, you guys are his angels! God bless you!

gja1000 · 09-29-2008, 05:31 PM

OK Janet, here are your head shots of Harley! Please excuse the grooming - I'm NOT a professional like you, Janet. He goes to the real groomer on Thursday - not a day too soon!

Oh! Note the Harley Davidson collar and the University of Texas Longhorn tag!

Well, we're starting out with a butt shot!

Thanks Judy - we think we are pretty lucky to have found him! He is a really good boy and as sweet as pie!

I posted a Harley update in the General Discussion thread

I think you did the right thing by not telling the owners - he was obviously in need of rescue. I can't wait to see some face pics, I think he might have some border terrier in him - his fur looks a lot like my little guy, but I'd have to see a better face pic.

gja1000 · 09-30-2008, 03:57 AM

He gets groomed on Thursday so hopefully, he will look lots better then and you'll be able to see his eyes more.

Oh, what a nice thing for you and your hubby to do for that poor little dog! I don't understand how anyone could ever mistreat or neglect a dog. He looks like such a cutie! Now he will have a good life and know what love is. How wonderful!
