The more newly arrived Midland boys...they actually could be called by 3 different places but I'll leave it as their last loving home's location instead. They just joined the 30 Month and Over Club. :-D
They arrived with issues, but are the sweetest, most lovely deserving old men. They adore each other completely, and there's no favourites amongst each other
Sirus, had a badly broken hind leg that healed badly, got infected and had a terrible case of bumblefoot on his inside ankle. The leg has healed and I have gotten the bumblefoot as good as it will ever get. He's the alpha, he's a strong personality, more independent, loves to visit for lovins but prefers to do his own thing. This guy can boggle like you wouldn't believe :love4:
Buddy, who arrived kind of dozy, and acting frailer than his more robust and alert brothers. I watched him for awhile until the inevitable signs showed up of pituitary tumour. He responded beautifully to the initial dex injections and now is maintaining on bromocriptine. I am thrilled he has a new lease on life. He's now running but its a funny run as his back legs suspension has dropped so he wobbles sideways as he runs LOL
He loooves his comfort too
and my fav....shhhhh!!...Nacho. Nacho has a huge tumour on his side, which makes life a little more difficult for him...I help him scratch, rub ears, check for plugs etc. He loooves it. Nacho wants to be near or on me if possible. If I am watching TV he is pushed up by me, with his head resting on my side, staring at me like the most devoted dog stares at his owner. He gets such a happy face when I touch him. I wish wish wish I could remove that tumour but his age, and condition make it too chancy, and he's happy right now, so why chance what little time he has left?
Pics of all the boys :heart:
