JaneyA Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 After >6 years and hundreds of dogs, I've finally had a foster failure! I just have to keep little Comet for myself. He was left at the Wagga pound in Dec by a young couple who couldn't afford to provide vet care. He came to me immediately under DOC: very anaemic, heavy worm burden, fluid-filled belly, and front legs growing crooked. Thanks to the lovely vets at Lake Road Vet, he is now very healthy, with strong straight legs. I think he's a chihuahua x Jack, very surprising for a big-dog person like me to fall for! He's a lapdog on Red Bull, lol. Janey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottsmum Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Ah. Little ones have a way of worming their way into the hearts of "big dog people" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninahartland Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Haha....I have a mini schnauzer here too, the smallest dog Ive ever owned. He thinks he's the boss of them all. Its very easy to trip over the smaller dogs though , they tend to get under your feet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Congratulations, hard to give them up when you've had to give them lots of tlc! I just rehomed two of my long term foster dogs and broke my own heart so my other long term foster gets to stay! This is Dougal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He's a lapdog on Red Bull, lol. Ha ha ha - people can forget that it doesn't matter how small they are, they are still dogs. Lovely story. Go COMET !! Its very easy to trip over the smaller dogs though , they tend to get under your feet ! It is worse when they are small and old !! All your balancing techniques will be called into play. :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Good on you for becoming Comet's forever home! He's obviously had some struggles early in his life that hopefully he will never have to worry about again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Comet is adorable. Sounds like his name fits, too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He looks totally different! Do you think it would have been ricketts causing his wonky legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 This is why I could never foster - I don't think I could ever let them go. Comet truly has found his furever home. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
