Been a while!

I've been very preoccupied lately with Zoe's health, Oliver's care, and travel. I know I have very few readers so I don't feel that bad about my hiatus - haha!
The good news: Zoe is doing well - very well. She's seizure-free, keeping food down and acting like her normal bitchy self.

The bad news: Oliver's future is up in the air. I'm trying to be optimistic, but it is a hard thing to do.

Oliver is a WONDERFUL dog and deserves nothing less than the most loving home. I wish I could give it to him myself but I've already got my hands full and I would never regret adopting Lucas.

I'm trying to keep a positive outlook in favor of my sweet Oliver. I want nothing more than for him to find a loving caregiver. Should he find one said person(s) will be the luckiest pet owner(s) in Durham!

Back to two

Oliver is doing well in his new foster/forever home so we're back to normal here at the house. While Zoe is generally indifferent to the comings and goings of dogs (as long as they are male), I think Lucas was happy to see the puppy go. It's not that Lucas didn't like Oliver, he just didn't like having to share my attention with two other dogs.

He is, however, more than happy to share the futon with Zoe.

Lucas officially a Glazener

Lucas' adoption was finalized on the 5th. The adoption coordinator always takes a photo of the dog with his/her new family on the day of the finalization so here's our new family portrait! Zoe and I are happy to officially have him as a part of our family.

Luke duty

How sweet is that face? S-W-E-E-T! and he's the best dog ever on top of his suave looks.

In addition to impeccable house manners I was pleasantly surprised by his "house guarding" tactics. He reminded me a lot of Zoe from years back - every time I leave the house he goes over to the closest window to the door and makes his way under the blinds and into view. He keeps his eyes on me/us at all times. The noise of the blinds being rattled as he noses his way into view has become a source of comfort - I love that he's on the lookout!

Lucas will soon be a permanent fixture in my house and I eagerly await his induction into all that is TARHEEL.

Larger-than-life Lucas

He really doesn't know how big he is, but he manages to be the most well-behaved dog I've ever known in my life. He's a prince!

Lucas lumbers - but out of the way. He never crowds me or runs in to me in an attempt for attention.

That's not to say that he doesn't get excited and prance, but he's oddly reserved in his joyous celebration of my daily return home from work. Hence another reason to LOVE him :)

Lucas is a rare find and I know I am SO lucky to be the one to have rescued him!

Lucas

Meet Lucas, my new foster (hopefully soon to be permanent) dog. It was love at first sight!

Lucas is a hound mix weighing 60 pounds and estimated to be 1.5 to 2 years old. He is the sweetest boy I have ever met (next to Bailey) and I just can't imagine giving him up! I have a weakness for tall men and Lucas is all legs.

Zoe and Rusty like him, too, and all dogs are getting along very well. I'll be sure to post more pics after he's fully recovered from his neuter surgery.
