Biscuit is Framed Marking his Monumental Day!

Doug and I just received Biscuit’s framed Orvis Cover Dog image along with the original photograph of Biscuit!  We are very pleased with the results.  We used James L. Pierce Fine Art and Custom Framing Galleries located in Baltimore.  Now, Biscuit will forever be in our home marking his monumental day!

 

 

Happy Mother’s Day!

 

Biscuit’s Successful Rescue Story

Below is Biscuit’s rescue story published by Orvis.  I hope that you enjoy, and consider rescuing a dog, another family member.  Biscuit has changed our lives in so many positive ways.

Biscuit Update

Biscuit is doing well.  The ear culture revealed that Biscuit has a staph ear infection.  He is now on new antibiotic medicine for his ear as well as medicine for soft stools.  The vet said that Biscuit’s ear infection could have put stress on his system.  So, we hope to be done with these medicines by Sunday and have Biscuit feeling even better.  He is still enjoying going for walks outside and giving us his paw for treats (his kibble)!

Happy Wednesday!

Biscuit is also the April 2012 centerfold in the Orvis Dog Book!

 

 

 

Biscuit Health Update: Biscuit went to the vet last night, and he does have a bacteria and yeast infection in his left ear.  An ear culture was taken and sent to the lab; however, the vet did see bacteria on the slide she reviewed in the office.  The vet sent us home with some antibiotic ear drops to use until the cytology results come back and the vet can best determine what medicine to put Biscuit on to treat the infection.  We should hear from the vet by Monday.  The vet said that Biscuit may have to get an ear flush as well to make sure his eardrum and membrane looks ok before starting the ear medicine.  Biscuit was a very good boy at the vet!  Although, he hates having his ears cleaned and he does not like the antibiotic drops placed into his ears.

We took Biscuit to Federal Hill in his Hound About last night before bed to get some fresh air, and he loved it and was all smiles!

Biscuit is featured as a centerfold in the Orvis – The Distinctive Home catalog!

Today we received the Orvis – The Distinctive Home catalog!  We we thrilled to discover that Biscuit received another centerfold!  Biscuit is the March 2012 Orvis Cover Dog and Biscuit was also featured as a centerfold in the Orvis Women’s catalog.  Additionally, Biscuit’s rescue story is featured on the Orvis website.  Below are the photographs of Biscuit’s recent debut!

 

Biscuit is featured as a centerfold in the Orvis Women’s Clothing catalog!

Last night we took Biscuit out in his Hound About, which he greatly enjoyed!  On our way to Federal Hill, a neighbor brought to our attention that she saw Biscuit in two of her Orvis Women’s Clothing catalogs!  This is good news as we did not know about Biscuit being in more than one Orvis catalog.  She was nice enough to give them to us!   This means that Biscuit is making an even bigger debut than we anticipated!  We are very pleased.   Photographs are displayed below.

 

Biscuit has already earned two “staff picks” in the photo contest with Jones Soda Co.

The Importance of Dog Rescue – Biscuit’s Successful Rescue

Biscuit is doing really well.  Biscuit is probably in the best health that he has ever been in.  Biscuit’s recent surgery went very well, and Biscuit is in good spirits and he is walking the neighborhood very confidently!  On his walks, Biscuit is always hoping to catch a glimpse of Princess while he is at the neighborhood park — a special treat for Biscuit!  Biscuit is also looking forward to his play with Benji this weekend!

Shown below, one can see Biscuit’s dramatic transformation over the past fourteen (14) months since we rescued our beloved little Biscuit!  As evidenced by the photographs below, dog rescue is extremely important because it gives dogs as well as other animals a second chance at life in a safe and loving home.

There are many local shelters and dog rescue groups in virtually every city.  For further reading to get one started, one can read more about dog rescue at: SPCAASPCA; NMDR; HUA; NDRC; Hooves and Paws Animal RescuePetfinder.com; and the American Kennel Club Breed Specific Rescue Groups.
