A Little About Me

That was me not long ago, what a mess, huh?
I was not healthy.

I was at Chunky Trunks Rescue. Here's what they had to say:

Riggs's Story...

Riggs is a very sweet little guy. Only 6 months old. He has had a rough start to life with pulmonic stenosis (heart murmur) & hypo-plastic trachea (overly small trachea). He is currently recovering from pneumonia. The vets seem to think he could very well out grow his trachea and heart murmur issues. Until then he needs a calm home. He is a puppy but can not be allowed to get over heated or over excited. He has exercise intolerance due to his trachea and heart. He has to follow up with a heart specialist every couple months and is currently on medications which will need to be adjusted as he gains weight. He is very small which could be due to his issues; failure to thrive or he could just be a small guy. He is house trained and outgoing. This guy will not be your outdoor exercise partner but if you are looking for a loving lap buddy he's your guy!

Current Foster Home reports he is playful active and loving but not getting along with their cat. He wants to play but can be a bit too rough. Best to be in a home with out small children (under 8 yrs) as he is still learning to play appropriately. A home without other pets might be more appropriate so that he doesn't get overly excited.

So, I got super-duper sick. Corey and his Uncle Paul (my Godfather) picked me up from Chunky Trunks and took me to the great people at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialist where I stayed a few days until I was ready to go home to my forever home with Corey and Lisa.

In just 6 weeks at their home I look much better:

I'm one looking guy, right?

So, now I have my own blog because my mom is a SAHM (yeah, how special am I, I get her all to myself all day long and we play ALL DAY!!! How lucky can a dog get?) and she takes tons of pictures of me because I'm so photogenic.

See you soon!
