    Hooray! Last night when I saw the photo of Tony on the bed with the others I thought "Gosh, he has to stay, he looks so perfect there!" I'm so glad you're giving him a shot and I'm glad to hear he is beginning to settle in well.

    Welcome to the family, Tony! I look forward to seeing a lot more of you!

    Love it - love it - love it..............just what the doctor ordered for the "S" household. I'll bet Lacey is strutting her stuff in front of Sugar, Marlin, Ozzy and Ben (did I miss anyone??? ) and bragging that it was all her doing.

    And what a better name than Tony for a little boy who will be growing up in an Italian household - even tho the 4-footed residents have other nationalities!

    Congratulations - to all!

    What a good Italian male name you picked for him! Tony S. from East Providence ... sounds classic!

    I just knew you were keeping that cute little fella--- let's face it, he just fits in too well with all the other fluffs and I'm convinced he's a gift from Lacey. I'm so happy for both you and little Tony-- this little guy has finally hit the best home he could ever have. I keep reading about you and all your other dogs and it's clear all the love and great care they are getting.
    Guess that will help me sleep well tonight-- I just had to check before hittiong the pillow. I love the name Tony, suits him to a T.

    I've been frosted--- thank you Cassie'smom

    When I was growing up in Rhode Island, it would have been Tony from Federal Hill

    I'm glad to hear he has a wonderful home with an ample supply of love and playmates

    I gotta say I'm glad that you rescued him AND decided to keep him. What a story he has! I would have never guessed he was only 3 in those first pics! wow! I gotta say that I'm glad the lady had the presence of mind to know that the accented men might not be the best bet. Thank God she chose safety over $!
    Welcome home Tony!

    Funny - I was thinking the same thing when I read that post. I guess you can take the ladies out of RI, but you can't take RI out of the ladies!

    Sandie - I'm so glad you chose Tony - and not Paulie or Vinnie..............not that there's anything wrong with those names. I loved my Uncle Vinnie! - and I do like the name Paul too. It's just that whenever I hear someone say the name "Paulie" (not Paul) - it doesn't sound right unless it's spoken with an exaggerated Italian/New England accent!

    How's Tony doing today? Is his appetite picking back up? When Sparky had Lymes, almost as soon as he started on the antibiotics, his improved drastically, and the limping and lethargy vanished.

    Tony is doing well. Yes Ellie, just 3 doses of antibiotics and his is a new man -- I mean dog, he he.

    Glad to have the RI contingent on here agreeing with the new name.

    I'm with kaycountrygal and asiel - As soon as I saw this, I knew you'd keep him. You'll love him and give him the very best life he could ever wish for. The smile on his face said it all - he's home. Congratulations to you all.
