I didn't want to bum anyone out yesterday, but Oreo had no appetite and ended up vomiting yesterday. Aunt Taimi got fluids in him and he seems better today on that front. At least he seems able to bounce back faster than before.

He's been itching since I found him and we thought that might resolve once he was more nourished, but it seems to be getting worse. Aunt Taimi had to give him Benadryl so he could sleep last night.

He's still doing better overall, but not 100%. I'm sure it will take time and many more vet trips to get him sorted out.

For now, he's resting like a good boy. Just look at that snoozing pup! ❤️

Sweet Oreo played today!

Oreo is doing well!

Oreo is doing well. He's been barking and wagging and having a good time!

In other related news:

His Girlfriend and 5 puppies have been rescued from the streets, as well! My understanding is that they are going into a rescue in Georgia.

This is an old photo of Oreo and his girl. The up close is Girlfriend alone. She's so precious and has a face I just want to squish! ❤️

This makes a total of 7 dogs saved from one area of Noble Street in Anniston, AL.

My heart is happy. I just wish there was a way for me to let him know that they're ok, too.

So we found out today...

So we found out today that Oreo doesn't like hats - on people. 😂 I don't know what my brain was doing, but when Taimi told me that he didn't like hats I was like "Ok. Good to know. We won't put hats on him." 😂😂😂 Anyway, he growled at one of her guests with a hat, but was fine with her once she took it off, thank goodness.

Oreo is looking pretty great. He's filling in nicely. Aunt Taimi is taking him to the vet next week to see if he can be vaccinated yet. He might also restart doxycycline so we can get on top of his heartworm treatment. I'm pretty excited for him.

Look at this sweet boy. Look how well he's doing! ❤️❤️❤️

Aunt Taimi said that Oreo has been a great dog having a great day. 😊

I might hold off on the daily updates unless there is something to tell or a photo to share. With the holidays upon us and him on the mend it's a busy time and things are going well. Consider no news to be good news.

In the meantime I'll be counting down the days until I see him again. If everything goes as planned I'll have him home in about 2 weeks. I have missed him a ton, but I'm so grateful he's been with Aunt Taimi. I truly believe that she and her network saved his life and I will never be able to thank her enough.

Yesterday was cloudy and cold and rainy...

Yesterday was cloudy and cold and rainy and it was snowing on the mountain and I was NOT a fan. Today it's back to sunny. It's 50°F out right now, but even when the temperature is lower it's still usually nice to be out when the sun is.

On average we have about 310 sunny days every year. We do get rain and snow, but those clouds are usually just passing through rather than sticking around like they did yesterday.

I am so spoiled. I definitely should NOT complain about 55 little cloudy days. 😂😂😂 Let me go be quiet now. 😂

Our sweet Oreo cookie has had another great day.

From Aunt Taimi:  He's played a little, barked a lot, slept, ate, came around for more cuddles....he's been hanging with the girls all day long and doing amazing.

I hear he only had one coughing fit, so hopefully he'll be over the kennel cough soon.

I am so excited for this precious boy. I bet he feels better than he has in ages. ❤️❤️❤️
