We're keeping the dog...

Thanks to everyone who reposted Neko's picture and story on their blogs! The blogging network is such a wonderful community of caring people!

Yes, we are suckers. We can't resist an animal in need. We will keep him.

Here's the update on the abandoned Husky:

Neko is at the vet today being neutered and getting all his shots.

Good news:
The surgery went well and I should be able to pick him up soon.

Bad news:
Since his owners did not think it was important to give him a $5 per month heartworm preventative, the poor guy tested positive for heartworms. He also had two other types of intestinal parasites.

Anyone with a dog knows how important the heartworm pills are! We spend $5 per month per dog so we don't have to pay for the $425 heartworm treatment. Ouch. We will start his treatment in the next couple of months as soon as we save up the money.

So we have a new addition to the family....

Neko the Husky.

And our two Dobermans.

That's a lot of dogs.

At what point do we become "that crazy couple with all the dogs" that the neighbors talk about? I think we aren't far away from that classification.
