August is my birthday month. This year I got gold.
Gold in the form of a brindle boy named Knox.
Knox, you know, like, Fort Knox. The U.S. Bullion Depository housing billions in gold reserves.
PURE GOLD

How do you spell Foster Failure? K.N.O.X.
on the verge....

An angel hovered around Knox. How else to explain surviving 8 months as a stray in Compton? Or being pulled on his last day on death row? And when he was forgotten about in boarding, his Donnie-angel appeared and got him safe, got him medical care after collapsing with arrhythmia. Hip-hop boy Knox needed a place to recover, a place for heart and spirit healing. So Knox is having a birthday in August too. A New Life.

You'll be surprised at how quiet and gentle the big lug is :-)

Knox looks a little like Max! Great story, but was saddened when I read he collapsed. Is it a congenital defect, or the result of his hard life on the streets of Compton? Another question... Foster failure?

Vet check up this week to find out more about that collapse and hoping it was an awful infection, not a congenital or serious heart issue. We'll have a heart issue if long term damage was done.

big tail wagger. even as he drinks water, tail wagging speeds up if you talk to him. seriously doubt he's ever had someone pay any attention or care about him. at all. he's a sponge soaking up each and every smile/pat/hug. he covets and shows off any treat that takes a little time to chomp down on, it's "his" and he's thrilled.

Congrats on filling a bit of the broken heart from losing Pilot. Yesterday I celebrated the first anniversary living with Angel, a rescued 13 y/o Cockatoo. Now she is & I am retired with "feathers & so much white dander on my hands. But pets/family are so gooooood.

Likewise, happiest thanksgiving (turkey-less I presume).

Knox with his toy and those eyes is PRICELESS!
Just too cute.
