BO & Daisy

This is what BO looked like on January 16th, the day we brought him home. We were told he had bowed legs due to a genetic condition. After taking him to the doctor we learned that he had multiple health issues on top of his legs, and that the issues were not genetic but were acquired during his terrible living situation through his first four months of life. Less than a month later he had already made tremendous progress (see picture below). After three months of proper nutrition, daily walks, and lots of love his legs are as straight as can be! He is extremely clumsy, and probably always will be. He is now able to do everything a normal beagle can do. He isn't as fast as Daisy when it comes to running, but he has no need to be. BO is shy around other dogs and would prefer to play with their owners; he is an excellent therapy dog. Ever since we got Daisy we can see BO improving in many ways: social skills, sharing, playfulness, and his need to protect.

This is our sweet little Daisy. The left picture was taken the first day we met her at the animal shelter, the right picture was the day we brought her home. Before we were allowed to bring her home she had to get fixed, I called the doctor who was doing the surgery (the same doctor BO goes to) and asked if they could remove her 'cherry eyes' during the same surgery. He said absolutely, and it would be easier on Daisy since she would only have to be put under once. The day we brought her home she was ready to begin a new life. She is a well behaved pup and loves to cuddle and watch T.V. When we go to the dog park she finds the biggest dogs to play with, and surprisingly she can keep up with them. Our neighbor, whom which we share a fence, has a great dane. Daisy loves him! We hope that we have completed her life as much as she has ours.
