A Second Chance for Harley!



Just wanted to update you on Barney. He is now "Harley" and is a very sweet little man. He is settling in very nicely. Hasn't bothered a thing and gets along with my cat but is a bit intimidated by her. I gave him a nice bath Sunday afternoon and he let me brush him several times. However, Sunday night was a long night (first night). He kept scratching constantly. I took Monday off (I had a killer headache) and took him to the vet to see if he had a problem with all the itching. I had found a couple fleas on him and some bite marks. Dr. said he just had a flea edema and gave him a shot and some pills. Also, trimmed his toenails and cleaned his ears. Last night we both slept well. I just can't get over what a nice little fella he is. Very laid back and starting to wag his tail and eating his dog food. Wednesday he'll get neutered and also a haircut and another bath. I wanted to update you on his progress and again thank you for your time and effort. Sylvia, thank you again for giving this little man a second chance. He is definitely a lap dog and enjoys following me around the garden. He will add so much to our family.

**Just a note to some of you that might remember Harley. He was the one in isolation that was very scared, and bared his teeth at anyone that approached him wrong. If you took the time to let him come to you, he would allow you to pick him up. He loved to be held. This is why fostering is so important! Harley might not have gotten a chance if Sylvia wouldn't have taken him in and worked with him. Thank you Sylvia!
