| Happy Tails | Meeko (Crew)

We brought Meeko home knowing that he would be a lot of work.  At the adoption event, didn't do much other than sit on his foster mom's lap.  He wouldn't even walk around, we had to carry him around.  He was scared of everything.  He also had mites that we were given his medicine for in order to continue treatment.  Our first vet visit with him, we learned that he had Giardia, a parasite, and started treatment for that.

Now, five weeks later, he has tested negative for both his mites and Giardia!  In a few weeks, he will be tested again for mites and if the results are negative again, he will then officially be recovered!  
 
Meeko is a joy to have around.  He hates when we have to leave him, but hasn't had a single accident or incident while home alone!  He loves belly rubs, trips to the dog park, cuddling on the couch with his "pack," and playing with and chewing all sorts of toys (tennis balls, soccer balls, tug toys, stuffed animals that are no longer stuffed).  He even throws his ball for himself sometimes - one time he threw it so hard, it hit the ceiling!
 
He is a really quick study - often time learning a new trick after only a few minutes of training.  He is still in the puppy nipping phase and still barks at anything and everything that scares him (which is everything), but we are confident our continued training and loving will help him become more accustomed to life with humans, and will boost his confidence as he grows.  
 
Thanks for saving him from a shelter in NC and bringing him to us!  He will forever be a part of our family!
