He worried his foster mom all the time, as she tried to discover the culprit for his massive loss of hair. Eventually we figured out he was allergic to fleas - it took just one flea for him to start chewing through his coat and causing top level skin tissue damage. And you knew from looking at him, Zeus must be in pure misery and pain once it started! It would no sooner clear up -- then it would start all over again.
"I just wanted to share this picture of Alex with you. Alex likes to lie under the Christmas tree. I think he loves the tree's skirt and branches over head. When I came home the other day, he had the skirt in the middle of the room. The skirt was rolled in a ball and he was lying on top of it! He is such a "love bug". I think I may need to put him on a diet though; he just loves to eat! I will bring him by to see you over the holidays! His coat has gotten very long, but I still find him licking his front legs at times."
And Alex now looks divine as the angelic angel we knew was there all along! He just needed lots of TLC and a great furmom like Jill to adopt him!
Love the success stories! Actually, any of the thrown away dogs that make it out of the shelter and into new loving homes are huge successes! But, Alex has gone from a dog that felt miserable all the time to a dog that is pampered, loved like never before, and well cared for. Forever thank you Jill!!!
