Furby came into rescue with his son and mate, BG (Baby Girl aka Bad Girl...). BG had health issues and went to live as a forever foster in one of our great foster homes.
We were told that Rocky was the son of both Furby and BG, but I'm not sure how that could be true. He has a totally different look. He's ADORABLE!!
Furby was in more serious condition, but was glad to reunited with his son after time with me, healing.
Furby was about 12 when he came into rescue, and he's now 14+.
Rocky is 11 now, I think.
They were both adopted and then returned-- the new owner said they marked all over, but we haven't seen that since they were returned. Sometimes, it's just not the right fit.
Furby was diagnosed with cancer on his leg, so we know his time is limited. But, if he's like my Max, "limited" means nothing.
He does really well.
He had some issues this past week, but with some extra meds, he is doing well again. He gets around, but does sometimes favor that leg.
Furby is "medical hold" but his foster parents decided that Rocky would need to remain with them, even after Furby passes on. Rocky loves it there, and he loves all his doggy friends. Rocky is one of the sweetest dogs I've met.
We don't know how long Furby has. The vets said once the cancer begins to spread, it will be fast. But, like with my Max, it's "NOT TODAY." He's a sweet dog and we are glad they all ended up in rescue where they could be cared for. Thank you to all of you who help us to make this care possible!!
You just keep on keeping on Furby !!!
ReplyDeleteNot today has become my daily refrain in regards to the elderly or ill rescues.
ReplyDeleteThere's a beautiful song by the Imagine Dragons "Not Today" that I love and one of the lines is "it's got to get easier and easier but not today" that kind of fits the rescuer's daily life.
