Babe is here and doing well. Pick-up Christmas eve was easy. Picked him up about 11:00 and he spent most all day until about 5:00 in the car (not counting walks). He was every bit a gentleman. He’s a very, very nicely behaved boy. He is Lab in personality but there is something else in there somewhere, I’m sure. He’s eager to please, obedient and, thank heavens, calm. He is definitely coughing badly from the heartworm. He is also wider than he is long! Needs to lose a few pounds. He does look a little like Babe Ruth so maybe the name fits him. He doesn’t seem to respond to it though so don’t know if kennel gave him his name or not. Anyway, he is a good boy. I think keeping him quiet for his treatment shouldn’t be too much of a struggle. If treatment goes OK and he survives it, we will put him in rescue with EnchantMutts so he can go to our adoption clinics in the spring.
