Follow-Up Email About Bo-Jangles Post Adoption (His New Name is Morpheus)

 

The above photo was taken of Morpheus at Christmas time 2006....


Hello Steve, (SSMR Foster Volunteer)

 
Morpheus got to meet his new vet today. I brought him in just to get acquainted & for them to check for ticks or any other litter critters. He did very well. He does have a yeast infection in both ears, but my husky mix gets them every couple of years, so we know how to get rid of them. We even have the ear wash on hand. She said he was handsome and very well behaved.
 
After the vet's office, we stopped by the post office and Morpheus and Shawna sat in the car (doors locked and a/c running) while I ran in to drop a letter in the mailbox. When I was walking out, I heard a very loud bark. Morpheus had jumped from the back of the Xterra to the back seat and was standing in front of Shawna growling at a man that he thought got too close to the car! (I think the poor man nearly had a heart attack.) I love the fact that he wanted to protect her, even though there really was no threat!
 
He has been sleeping in the bed with Bruce and me. He cracks us up because he sleeps on his back with all four legs up in the air. The snoring is hysterical! Bruce officially has competition. They were taking turns snoring; while one was breathing in, the other was breathing out. I'm going to tape it and blackmail my husband with it. Who knows, maybe I'll get some housework out of him after all!
 
Anyway, we absolutely adore him. He is a little angel and very polite. Thanks again for everything!
