New Foster Rocky Rock

Hello everyone, Little Rocky's introduction is long overdue. We have been busy trying to adjust and take care of things. He joined our family on November 2nd.  He has been surrendered to us by his former family because they could not longer support the proper medical care for him. He just turned 10 years old. He is a very good boy and he is starting to show his personality. They named him Rocky because he is a strong little guy. The former owners saved him from being p.t.s. when he was only 3 months old. He had health problems since he was a puppy and the breeder took him to the vet to terminate his life. He has a skin condition that may take up to a year to clear. He has breathing problems, loss of muscle mass and some other health issues that need care. He is going for walks now and as a typical Boston Terrier, when it is too cold outside he turns around and he comes right back in. He follows us around all the time and he loves to be in the middle of everyone. He loves people and he loves other dogs, he talks to you and lets you know that he does not want to be in a different room, he feels the need to let you know when the phone is ringing and is sense of smell is still very sharp, watch that garbage and the turkey in the trunk of the car, he will try to get it!  He cannot have treats or his tummy will get very upset and is eating home cooked meals only.   We call him Rocky Rock because with all the issues he has he still wants to go up those stairs, he still wants to follow you around and he still wants to run and go for walks and car rides! He loves car rides!!.. He is still a long way from being ok but everyday he seems to be a little better and stronger! Like my husband says, Rocky still needs to work on learning  to communicate his needs (he forgets to ask to go to the bathroom) He was used to wee pads. And he is a great companion! We love Rocky Rock and we hope that we can help him feel like a healthy dog again Much Love and Blessings to all of you amazing and dedicated wonderful people! Ana, Mike, Brady and Rocky Long Valley, NJ Awe . . .he sounds like a love, what would he have done without you? Thank God he has you and yours to love him!
