Gator 2009
Gator came to us with a lot of challenges. He suffers seizures and requires daily medication. He had also been kept as an outdoor dog and was pretty high strung. Then he suffered complications when he was fixed.
He took a lot of work to rehabilitate. It took a while to learn to walk on a leash. How to swim. And generally how to become a nice indoor dog. It was guaranteed he would show up with a tennis ball at family dinner time. More than once a spit tennis ball landed on a diner plate. His all time classic was when he shot a tennis ball from about 3 feet away and it swished right into Betsy's full wine glass.
He was a real character.

Maggie #27
Crazy, lovable Maggie arrived January 2009. She was pretty sick and made of mess of the house, but eventually got better (and housetrained.)
She was way too skinny, but she sure could run fast and pull on a leash.
We had lots of fun during her stay. She spent a lot of time in the pool, going for walks, going on car trips, and chasing squirrels.
