Meet Juno, my fospice dog.

Copied from Muttville Web site: "Muttville has a wonderful program for dogs that arrive here with untreatable terminal illnesses. It is called fospice, a combination of foster and hospice. Fospice, part of our foster program, means taking a dog into your home and giving it palliative care, love, and a wonderful life until it is their time for euthanasia. It can be a very rewarding experience for both the dog and family."

Sending very gentle hugs and lovies to Juno and you! I am glad he enjoys walkies and meal times.

Thank you pomtzu and cassiesmom! Juno had his first cold laser treatment on his spine today. I was told it would take 3-4 treatments to see a difference, but I swear he seems to be moving a little more easily already. We're going to do cold laser 3x a week for now since he liked the treatment (Basically he got a massage with the laser while I fed him bits of food, what's not to like?), and we're going to see how he feels about acupuncture as well. He has several herneated disks in his spine, so I'm hoping to just keep him comfortable for as long as I can. Overall, the vet was pretty impressed with how he's doing given his age and obvious neglect. He only weighs 13lbs!

He's definitely starting to recognize me and follow me around, probably mostly because I'm the person hand-feeding him bits of fresh meat with cream cheese several times per day!

Juno sure is cute. Those Walkies have to make any dog happy to get out in the fresh air. My dogs jump around, run, & bark, they are so happy & excited getting out on the trail. The cream cheese is a good idea & I bet it wakes up Juno's taste buds.
