Has he met the other kids yet? i hope they get along.

hahahahaha

I would love to hear that myself!

ARCHIE · 02-13-2009, 09:09 AM

That poor baby. It breaks your heart to think he has been in such discomfort
for such a long time. He's a cutie. He'll be Buddy's size when he gains those
lbs. the vet recommeds him to gain. Perfect size for loving IMO.
Thank you for your efforts in rescueing him. Your a very special person
like all those who rescue. Thank the good Lord for people like you.
Here's to a many years of health and happiness Truman

Hugs,

But I can tell he feels so much better!

I just got a call from the vet and looks like other than the infections all of his blood work came back excellent!

All he needs now is lots of good food and he will be going for a dental and neuter March 10th!

He's looking much better already. I'm glad that his bloodwork all came back good. You are such an incredible person helping Truman like this.

llcornell · 02-13-2009, 09:24 AM

He looks sooo handsome already. I bet he feels so much better and he probably wont even mind another bath.

Im so glad to hear his results came back good

Thank you megansmomma for doing all you have done for Truman. You are an amazing person and he is lucky to be with you and your caring family.

I'm pretty sure at this point he thinks that he should have a bath at least once a day.

They were all outside for a few minutes today together. Since my three are all young (2 and under) they pretty much swarmed him. Doodlebug was leaping around and barking like a nutjob! When Truman had enough he came over by me and looked up with those sad eyes and jumped up on the leg to pick him up!

I cried knowing he feels safe in my arms.

Thank you for the nice compliment. I'm sure you would have done the same if you were able. His personality is coming out a little at a time and he is a sweetheart!

Oh look at you after everything you did for Ella just a few short months ago! Ella was in much worse shape than Truman. I can hope that Truman finds a home half as wonderful as Ella's new forever home.

Hopefully very soon you will be comforting me when Truman find his new forever home like Ella has.

hartygirl · 02-13-2009, 10:44 AM

He deserves a great home with a lifetime of love!

And you deserve a HUGE pat on the back and more for what you did for him. I am so glad to know that 1 more little furry life was saved because you did not give up on him. Thank you so much!

jlepolifka · 02-13-2009, 10:50 AM

He's already looking so much better! With all the love and care he's getting from you he'll be a happy little pup in no time!

luvinmyyorkies · 02-13-2009, 05:32 PM

Oh, I knew there was a handsome guy under all that hair!!! Plus, I think you did a fine job on his cut. So, so, happy to hear that all his other tests came back ok - what a blessing.

yorkiesmiles · 02-13-2009, 07:37 PM

I think he looks fabulous. How much this little guy's life is from a few days ago. Hope he likes his new yorkie friends and can really be the dog he was meant to be.

dogears · 02-13-2009, 07:58 PM

Geez where have I been????

It is so unlike me to miss this whole thing, but now that I am here

megansmomma another one saved. Truman is a bundle of cuteness, he's gonna make someones yorkie girl

MeAndMyOlivia · 02-13-2009, 08:32 PM

Megansmomma - oh I wish I had been on here and seen this thread! I live in southern Indiana and we are actually going to Carmel (outside of Indy) over the weekend. I would have loved to help get Truman to you. Bless your heart for doing it in spite of the challenges. Keep me in mind if transport needs ever come up again.

At this point I believe my three know how sick he is and have decided to leave him alone to rest. I can even keep the bedroom door open now and they just kind look in and give him a little wag of the tail and then leave. Isn't it amazing how animals just know.

Don't think I will not forget your offer

This time it was so rushed that I didn't have a lot of time to plan. Plus, I would get to meet you and maybe Olivia in person

Here is a Truman update for today:

I went back to the vet yesterday to pick up ear wash. When I gave him his baths and finally a trimming his infected ears was oozing down the side of his head. It was horrible so I called to ask for an ear cleaner. He's such a little trooper and let me poor a bunch in and clean a little yesterday and today again. It already looks a little better this morning. The vet said up to three times a day and to pluck out any hairs to help the process. My husband has been wonderful and is so helpful. Anyone that says a man with a small dog is a wimp or not manly can come and see my wonderful husband and how caring he is with this little guy. He's has there huge gentle hands

Now the problem is he is refusing to take his medicine this morning. I'm going to run and get some yogurt and see if that will get him to open his mouth.

I bought him a doggie bed yesterday. He is now sleeping in there like a king. No more looking for a warm place to stay for Truman! He loves his new bed!

yorkiesmiles · 02-14-2009, 08:47 AM

Oh, he looks like he loves his new bed.

If you can't get him to take the pill, you might also coat it with some peanut butter - that trick works most of the time for me

That's the thing, he took it no problem the first time with peanut butter. Then he took it with a little pumpkin the second time. Last night it was a fight but I finally got it down. But this morning nothing could get him to open up!

I'm going to try the yogurt and see if that will make him take it. Keep your fingers crossed!

luvfla · 02-14-2009, 09:04 AM

Maybe you just need to look him in the eye & tell him just what this stuff is for!
Is he warm enough?
