Henry

Henry is happy with his new family in CT! Here is a note from his new mom: Henry is a bottomless pit! He wants to eat anytime I’m in the kitchen. That’s the doxie in him…. We’ve been trying to “guide” him up/down the ramp. If he sees one of the others, he follows that one but on his own, he seems confused. But, I think he’ll become accustomed – Charlie now prefers it unless there’s a squirrel that needs immediate removal from the premises…. Henry took right to my husband, Glen. When Charlie got a little territorial and growled at Henry, Glen comforted him and carried him in his arms for a while. Henry just loved it! And he comes and sits by the computer, or wherever we are. What a love he is! He did wander in the yard quite a bit with Solly, maybe trying to find a familiar scent but, of course, he couldn’t. He does drink quite a bit of water; hope that’s nothing like Cushing’s (my Sparkles had that at 14 until 16). Hope you find someone for the other little angel in Colchester (I hope he isn’t in a kennel cage there all night) – then John will give you doxie preference in the future. And yes, he seems a really nice person. Never met him but think he has a good heart. He called you quickly, yes? Oh, I gave your rescue name to someone on FB that said she was looking for a dachshund to adopt in SC. Henry is a sweetie – and we’re thankful to be here for him. And it seems he does have a bit of hearing – he had his back to me on the grass area and I was on the deck and made a tongue-clicking noise like I do for mine and he turned around! Maybe wishful thinking – but we’ll see what goodies the vet can do for and give him. He really does deserve a good home – and he’ll be very well taken care of and LOVED for the rest of his natural days. Sooooo glad to have met you, Laura – you’re doing wonderful work for helpless angels who just want a little happiness and comfort. Karma will reward you in many ways. Please keep in touch – maybe we can volunteer some kind of help == transport from somewhere in CT to RI border or such; or items for a tag sale, bake sale. I would love to do what you do but no longer can due to health issues – but we can help in other ways…. I did forget to ask you if he was on Frontline for fleas and ticks – that’s what I use. Nasty ticks in CT. Did they use something else on Henry?? Well, thanks for bringing us the bundle of love named Henry – he’s so mellow, just happy to BE. Reminds me of the Neil Diamond song “Be” from his CD “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” (Great book, also). Hope he feels he’s found his fur-ever home and is happy to be part of our family now. My little Sparkles had 6 homes in just over 5 years before she came to us and lived happily for 16+ years. Stay safe, Take good care!
