Thanks everyone! I just hope her dad doesn't change his mind or something. I think he did actually say though that he felt guilty about neglecting him all these years.

I also hope he checks out as healthy at the vet. He actually looks really good for his age. I'd say he looks more like 5 years old, not 9. I hope he doesn't have heartworm...I don't think there's a very high incidence of it here, but there's always the chance.

I'll try to get some pics of him soon.
