It has been 10 months already since we started to foster Zach and although there is a very strong sense that he will not be able to stay with us forever, we are enjoying the possibility of hosting him indefinitely. With the new house almost finished, we hope to move before the middle of October […]
My 2 year old puppy Zach wasn’t sleeping through the night after we decided to ween him off sleeping with us. At 65 lbs of pure lean muscle, his doggy nightmares were resulting in bruises and scratches that couldn’t be avoided as long as he shared our king sized bed. He didn’t like sleeping in […]
A few weeks ago Rescue Pup revealed to Zach’s followers that one of his tests came back as inconclusive for malignant mast cell tumor cancer. This means that a biopsy must be performed to validate if in fact it is MCT and how severe his condition may be. While we all decide how to proceed […]
Read that title again. There are two fails. Yes. Two. In rescue, foster parents that end up adopting the animal they are taking care of are considered a foster failure or foster fail. When we opened our home and hearts to Zach on December 2015 our plan was to become a part of this awesome […]
I have written many times about how we wanted to adopt Zach, and how well he was doing. Short of checking he has a neurological issue, which can cause thousands, we have seen him change his demeanor quickly in the last couple of weeks. He doesn’t play the games he used to play; wakes up […]
On Tuesday June 21st you reacted negatively to something we did and my husband got injured in the process. At first that’s what a lot of people are suggesting. We didn’t do anything wrong, all we did was move and talk while you sneaked in beside my hubby and nibbled on your rawhide. I know […]
It has been a few weeks since I posted an update and it was mostly because training Zach to not react to certain things takes time to show improvement. For the last couple of weeks we have managed to train him to sleep by himself, to react less to doorbells (does not react to doorbells […]
Taken from Project Zach Facebook page. I can’t believe he has spent 6 months with us already! “Project Zach…….simply put….. an effort to save a very deserving……very resilient……very loving boy……all in just 5 weeks time. I have started to write up Zach’s story several times now through out the day. Each time I found myself […]
Zach has been reacting well to the medicine, so much so we dared to train him to sleep on his own and not on our bed. He responded with stellar results and he has stopped jumping into bed. I do let him nap with me for an hour after sun up and only when I […]
All days start with 2 Prozacs, 20 mgs each. Since this won’t change past day 1, I won’t repeat it. I’ll list medication changes as they happen. Also, he always responds to water, inside and outside commands so we won’t include them in the practice cue list. Day 8, April 20th: After the excitement of […]
