I couldn't imagine a better birthday gift for yourself! Everything is going to be ok.
What you have done is save a precious little boy, give him the chance to know a loving home, and make your heart grow a little bigger to hold all that love. I saw your post in the rescue forum and I was so happy I could've cried. He just looks like such a sweetheart - everything is going to be OK! I'll have to look at his pics again, but I didn't think the name Viper suited him at all. Bless you for already loving this little guy!
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK!
