Norman came to us from Tucson (TRN) where he was desperately looking for a home before being surrendered to the shelter for the second or third time that we know of. He was 107 lbs with two old ACL injuries so we named him "Norman Walkwell" ... because he didn't walk well.
We flew down in a Cessna 180 and it took two of us to lift Norman into the airplane. He began a diet of boneless skinless chicken breast, vegetables and pumpkin. He has lost a whole dog size and now is a svelte 68 lbs. He's had physical therapy, laser & acupuncture, has worn a brace to support his rear right leg and had PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) in his knees.
As a side note, when he arrived, he could not roll over. Now he enjoys rolling back-and-forth from side to side a few times a day and kicking his legs in the air like a can-can girl. His new favorite sport is chasing baby squirrels in the forest. He works hard everyday to be mama's #1!!! He doesn't leave my side and wants me in his sight at all times. What a loyal companion he is!
We believe Norman is about 15 years old but he has found the fountain of youth. He is also one of our longest residents (about 3 years now).
