Vic

Vic, now Mugsy, is a joy. He's been the best little puppy from Day 1. Slept through the night from the beginning, very good appetite, quick to train, calm, very sweet, loves everyone - socializes with other people and dogs most every day with great enthusiasm. First few weeks battled skin issues. While substantially better, he is still scratching some. He's due for his 4-mo shots next week when my vet will reassess the skin situation. He's had multiple baths for the mange, shots for infection and itch, etc. Changing food for the 2nd time hoping for lasting improvement. I'll have to send a photo from my Blackberry as I do not have a recent one on my laptop. He's probably about 30 pounds now. A beautiful boy - people stop all the time to ask his breed. Need to come up with something creative and AKC-like. While his Mom was black lab mix with maybe Shepherd (many thanks to Foster Mom Robin, he got together with his mom a couple of times after adoption and that was incredibly wonderful to watch), my vet thinks the father was likely SharPei and Rottweiller. Anyway, he has the most interesting face and beautiful markings. My family and the neighbors adore him. He's developed a particularly special attachment to a young boy across our street, which is wonderful for both of them. Best regards, Karen Steele
