Update on Popeye

Popeye's gotcha day will be in October.  I feel blessed to have him as part of my life.  I fell in love with Popeye when I saw him on NEBTR's website, but was worried about his special health needs (he had meningitis as a puppy and has neurological damage).  I am so glad I took a chance and opened my home and heart to this special little dog and have been stunned by his growth.  His wonderful foster mom's noted that he seemed to be getting stronger while they were caring for him, and he has continued to get stronger.  Popeye can now go on hour long walks in Valley Forge where he likes to hunt down frogs, sprints around the yard like a little maniac with his doggy sister Sophie, eats solid foods with no issues (and does a hilarious hopping dance while waiting for his meal), and is learning basic commands.  Popeye is a happy little guy who is my cuddle bug and brings a smile to my face every day.  Popeye's resiliency reminds me to never give up and make the most of each day.  Both my life, and Sophie's life, is happier and more full now that he is a part of it.  Thank you NEBTR for rescuing Popeye and bringing him into my life!

Update on former foster Popeye

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to send an update about Popeye, who I adapted about 2 and a half weeks ago. He has adjusted very well, which I attribute to all of the wonderful love and care he received from his foster family (THANK YOU!). He has been just wonderful to have in my home and Sophie and him are new best friends. I tried to attach 4 photos...let me know if you can see them-they are pretty cute. So glad this group exists to save loving dogs like Popeye!

Thank you, Heather, for giving Popeye a wonderful fur-ever home.

Here’s Popeye! Popeye has a lesion on his brain but he is doing phenomenal learning how to eat slower, sleep better, and play. He’s a happy little man!

More on Popeye

 

Yesterday, Teri and Jen picked up Popeye, from my house! Popeye is the Boston boy from the Boston SPCA who has some sort of neuro condition that causes him to favor turning to the right.

He is 2 years young and just as handsome as can be! He is a strong boy who so far seems to be super friendly (to people at least). It was only with the help of several SNORT transport volunteers that we were able to get him so swiftly.
Anna pulled him Saturday morning and passed him on to Jessica who passed him on to Chrissy who passed him on to Shawn who passed him on to me.

Huge thanks to all of you! We could not have done it without you!
Another huge thanks to Teri and Jen who opened their home to Popeye, without really knowing the severity of his condition.
They will have him checked out and hopefully get a diagnosis as to what is going on.

Pic attached of him in my car. He is super cute!

Here’s an update from Jen and Teri:

This little guy loves to be around people & is curious about our boys. poor little guy was so tired that passed out last night after we got him settled in and I don't think he moved until 6 am until Jen woke him to go out

Just a little update. Popeye is doing so good. He got some rest today and played in the yard and took a walk. He ate good too. We are putting his food up on a higher stool seems to work better for him. Maybe he gets dizzy or something when he hangs it down to eat. He is a little uneasy up steps but nothing to hard to handle. He is a love! Not a typical 2 year old Boston but nice and easy to work with. Saw vet today gave her his paperwork so she can read it and we see him next Monday.
Have a great night.
Jen & Teri

New Foster Popeye

Meet Popeye. He is settled in for the night and did really well. His day started out in a shelter and 3 car rides and 300 miles later he is sleeping on a big bed in the basement sleepy from a full belly. 
He has slight neurological issues but he is a sweetheart! We will work with him and move slow into the week. Updates to come!
