Phoenix: October 1, 2010
Posted on 01. Oct, 2010 by admin in Blog
Phoenix the Wonder Dog has defied all odds and is now ready to live with his new forever Mom & Dad, Sandy & Jerry. After a week of physical therapy at TWO HANDS FOUR PAWS Rehabilitation www.twohandsfourpaws.com , where he had 3-4 hours per day with Leslie and her therapists doing assisted standing, assisted walking, tons of strengthening exercises, acupuncture, specially prepared meals, and most importantly, tons and tons of belly rubs and lap-sitting. Phoenix can now run with the big dogs and seems to have no lasting disabilities from his abuse and starvation. He loves sniffing grass, hanging with other dogs, and especially giving doggie kisses to his people. To those of you who sent thoughts and prayers and donations for Phoenix’s care, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! This story would have ended much differently without you!! Phoenix is the exception, not the rule when it comes to surviving such long term neglect and starvation. We believe that he would never have survived without the collective power of love, prayer and action from complete strangers who were so moved by his story. We will keep you posted as we get updates from his new home. Click on this video link to see him in action
About Us
So happy for this little man. He deserves only the best and finest! And I know he has that. Is he living with Bradley? I think that is wonderful. I am so happy to see Phoenix up and sniffing! He truly is special! Thank you for showing us that he is doing well. It means a lot! We have to show the world that not only is there bad, but that there is a lot of good to counter act the bad. I sometimes start to get frightened that the bad is beginning to overtake the good, but I know in my heart that we just have to keep fighting these abusers!
Dear Auntie Jeannie & Auntie Kelly & everyone. Hi, its me Phoenix, I just wanted to thank everyone for saving my life and being sooooo good to me and careing about me. Im sooo happy at my new home, I love my Mama & Daddy so much and my new brothers are so good to me & they love me to i can tell and i love them so much, especially Barney, he is a piece of work (my Daddy calls him) he looks like a doggie to me) in facts he looks like me a lot only way way bigger. Anyway they worried he would be too ruff with me, well he is gentle as a little lamb with me, he & Elliott are teaching me the ropes and I get the feeling by next week-Ill learn how to chew up high heels and paper and just everything, I can’t wait. I gained 2 lbs here at my new house, boy we sure eat good here. Anyway everyone Im so happy & the people at my new vets said im a great dog and they told Mama I was cute to. Not to bragg, but wait till they see me with more weight and when all my hair grows out, Ill knock their socks off. Once again thank you all and especially my 2 aunties who saved me and all the nice Drs. who helped me & the people at 2Hands 4 Paws. I love you all and am looking forward to my new life with Mom & Dad & my new brothers. Love always, Phoenix.
