*please be sure to scroll down for the beginning of Big Daddy's
rescue story.
Update February, 2009 -
Hello I’m writing you tonight to let you
know how Big Daddy has been doing. WOW where to start …. He is do ok
for his age now his eyes have gotten worse he no longer is able see
anything and he has been having breathing troubles. Everyday he
hacks and struggles breathing at times but once he lays down he
breathes alright.
We have moved to Ohio and he now has a really big yard to explore in
and he does. lol I’m not to sure if he is losing his hearing or not
because when I call him he seems confused as to where I am but if I
rattle a bad of chips or candy or tap my dinner plate he runs (
walks really fast) right to me. It’s like ….FOOD HERE I COME!!!! But
other times he just turns around and around and around. My friends
will come over and he really plays his game of feel sorry for me and
they fall for it every time lol. He will wine and cry for them to
pick him up and bring him back in the house ….you see we have steps
he has to climb and if someone new is around he plays the sorry
card. I laugh my butt off cause he knows how to climb up the steps
and does it just fine. But my friends feel sorry for him and they
pick him up he gets them every time. Blind he is old he is but
stupid no way he is very smart and uses it to his advantage.
He is still very much a cuddlier and lover he still sneezes and
coughs on you but you can’t help but love him and we all do I moved
to Ohio so my son could see me more and big daddy. They are both
really happy.
I’m not to sure how much longer we will have with him but we are
making every min count with him and when the time comes for him to
leave us my son and I are going to have him cremated so he will
always be with us.
Thank you again for giving us such a joy.
Candra, Tommy and Kayli

Dear KPR, and readers,
Hello I'm Candi and on March 11, 2007 I adopted Big Daddy. He is a
birthday gift for my 15 year old son Tommy. Tommy broke his leg Feb
15 and is laid up at home in bed/couch. He has been feeling a little
down, that was until I brought Big Daddy home. Tommy hasn't met Big
Daddy yet because he lives in Ohio with his dad. Now the cool thing
about this is that when I call my son I will put the phone on
speaker and Tommy will talk to Big daddy. At first Big Daddy really
didn't respond to Tommy talking to him. Now, after just two
weeks, I will look at Big Daddy and ask him "Bid Daddy do you know
where Tommy is at?" and Big Daddy will turn his head and start
turning around in circles and get all excited and if I ask him if he
wants to call Tommy he will woof and then sniff around for my phone.
( Big Daddy is blind but his nose can find anything). So we will
call Tommy and he will call for Big daddy and when Big Daddy hears
his master he gets a little crazy turning around in circles, wagging
his tail and snorting. It is truly funny to see this go on. I hold
the phone up so he can hear Tommy and talk back to him. Tommy
will ask him do you want to talk Big Daddy? and Big daddy will
answer with a snort and a woof. When this first happen I couldn't
believe it. And now it is truly sweet to see them getting close even
if it has to be over the phone right now. ( Tommy is unable to
travel right now due to they type of break to his leg but should be
able to come home in April).
