Red Rocket is an adorable dachshund who was hit by a car, lost his left front leg, and was abandoned by his owner. He was taken to Heartland Animal Hospital where the hospital staff ministered to his needs with the help of monies from the Magnum Fund. PALS Animal Rescue was charged with screening prospective adoptive families and we applied to welcome him into our home. He's ours now and we're blogging to share his continued adventures!

HAPPY ADOPTION DAY ANNIVERSARY RED ROCKET!
One year ago today we brought home our sweet boy. He became sweeter in September and again in December through his self-taxidermy using chocolate stuffing! We love his strength of will, his adventurous spirit, and his loving nature. Cost of chocolate baking bar: $4, cost of trip to the emergency veterinary clinic for "emesis induction": $800, cost of a darling dachshund wagging a tail that has grown as fluffy as a Victorian ostrich feather fan over the past year: priceless.

ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to your dearest Red Rocket! Special hugs, and yes, kisses on the cheek, from Aimee.
ReplyDeleteHey Red Rocket! Happy belated anniversary! Tell your mom that I enjoy reading her stories about you and your siblings and that she should save them for a book! The pictures are great, too. I've met a couple of cats with 3 legs, but never a dog. You are an inspiration.
