My First Day In Rescue
My new name is Jackson, so it will take me a while to get use to it.  Don't let my skinny good looks fool you, they promised me I won't be that way for long.  They are going to do everything they can to get my red blood cell count up, see I am anemic because of all the parasites and starvation I have endured.  I seen the vet today, he thinks I will be a very pretty boy again to.  He would not give my shots today, I have to wait for 2 weeks and do another blood cell count, so that thing they call a neuter will also have to wait until I am in better shape, possibly in mid December.   One really good thing happened at the vets, I AM HEARTWORM NEGATIVE, and have been placed on preventative.  You should have seen my foster moms with their fingures crossed, hoping I would at least be negative.  SO YEAH FOR ME.  I am a very sweet lovable 2 year old guy, maybe not very stunning right now but my foster moms promised I would be again.  Just give me a couple of weeks with them they said.  I have already been given vitamins, some really tasty stuff on my food which I ate with gusto, and found out I have my own soft, comfortable bed to lay on.  I think I am going to like it here.  They say I appear to be housetrained, but they do know I love to give kisses and be loved on.   I am just a sweet and lovable dud. I do have one problem they noticed:  I don't like any other dog trying to get my food or chewies. After what I have been through that is very understandable.   Please check back often to see new pictures of me as I improve and get robust again.

Look at me now - 2 weeks later
These were taken today at the Vets, 7 Nov 03, I got my shots today and should be able to get my neuter in 2 more weeks.  I have put on 10.5 lbs and really starting to look good.  What do you think.  Wait until Thanksgiving, I am going to be one very fine looking boy.
