Hey guys,

We have been with our new foster dog Marley for about a week and I know already that is going to be so incredibly hard to say goodbye. He is an amazing boy! He comes to work during the day, never barks, doesn't chew things he isn't supposed to, sleeps like a dream and loves to just hang out in the shade. He has been a great addition to our life and he waits every morning for me to lift my head up and then he comes over with a big wagging tail.



He used to be a rez dog and is a little sick at the moment. He was neutered this morning and the vet discovered that he used to have fleas that have attacked his immune system and cause his red blood cells not to clot very well. So he has a lot of swelling and bled a lot during the surgery. They also determined that he has a massive tumor in his sheath and is now getting chemotherapy once a week. The good news is that it is curable and also that we aren't covering the costs. We want to find him a really good family because he is such a great dog. I already wish that I could adopt him for life because he fits so well with us, but I know we are doing a great thing by finding him a forever home. He was going to be euthanized by the humane society because he had been there since May so it's a good thing we found out about him.

We don't have that much longer in this area (maybe about 3 weeks) so we will have to say bye sooner than we like. However, we plan to foster a dog when we move to our next location which is the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Springerville, Arizona. There isn't much to tell right now just been working in a pretty hilly area and our new boy in our life.

love
