William

My husband and I have had 2 great weeks with little William (now named Argo). He has been a bundle of puppy joy and we are happy to let you know that we would like to officially adopt him. Our current dog and him get along so great and it was only 2 days in that she started initiating play sessions with him. We have even noticed her trying to help him up and down the stairs since he has a bit of a difficult time with his back legs but that does not stop him from romping and playing like a puppy.

I took him to our vet and I found out that she believes that as he was going through his growing stage he was unable to fully stand up on his back legs which caused the hunched over looked. He also has, what she believed, to be pretty bad arthritis in his back knees. She told me that with lots of physical therapy and time he should be able to regain a lot of the muscle that was lost in his back legs and may even be able to fully stand up again. I have begun the physical therapy on his back legs and he already looks like he is able to move better.

We are happy to announce that we have switched from using Purina to using the Fromm and Orijen brands that Helen showed us when we picked him up. Argo's dandruff has pretty much gone away and he is slowly gaining the much needed weight.

Overall he has been a super good puppy and he and our current dog play constantly together and have even started to take naps next to each other.

Thank you very much for helping us find our new family member!
