FiveRoooooers Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) When I knew he would be ours, I couldn't wait to introduce him. He's here now. From a high-kill shelter in GA, sprung by a lab rescue group that works with a local chapter, 13.4 yo Cletus got on the hauler last Thursday and arrived at his foster mom's in NY late Saturday. Sunday was our M&G and home visit, and today was delivery day. Welcome home Cletus. Glory boy. After all he's been through, he is such a HAPPY dog. His tail has not stopped wagging except during naps (when he's snoring ). The campers have welcomed him and he's been exploring as tho he's been here forever. He can't hear worth a lick lol. Please welcome Camper Cletus!

Promises promises Y'all should come! Earlier today on the Camper Cam, I caught Cletus upside down scratching his back (tail still wagging) before he ended up in a full-fledged, maintained roach He's the best and I'm so proud of the other campers for welcoming him. He's eating/drinking well, seems to be housebroken, slept through the night, after breakfast he put himself back to bed, he's just a love. Oh, and his poop is 10 star, lol. Who knows how much time we have, we never know, but we will try to keep Cletus comfy and keep that beeg smile on his face and that HAPPY TAIL going. Cletus Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.
