Pick Up

Today was the last day that Zeus spent with me.  We went hiking in the morning and he got really pooped and tuckered out.  Fostering Zeus has been a really good learning experience for me--from treating ear infections to determining the cause of his food allergies to figuring out why he kept getting worms (the DE really helped).  Zeus is an incredibly sweet boy, he has been the total opposite of Bea.  Whereas Bea likes to bolt and be petted, Zeus loves to play fetch, tug-o-war, let you rub his ears, he is just really aiming to please.  He loves human affection and attention...everytime we walk down the street, he always goes up to people and rub his body against them.  Sometimes it can be really embarrassing but my neighbors are big dog lovers so they don't mind.  I hope that he will he find a forever home and people who will love and dote on him for the rest of his life!

Ok, be forewarned, here comes a rant!  I really feel that Zeus is a really a good boy and he, like many others, get abandoned when they get old.  Sure, there are certain circumstances that warrant giving up one's dog, however, most of the time, it can be prevented.  Zeus is lucky in that he came to our rescue, but there are so many others that are less fortunate than he is and so they get put to sleep.  It is so sad.
