Tyson did very well on his walk this PM and he is tucked in his crate for the night. On Saturday, Bath day, he tried to eat a bar of soap. Yes...he did! He was not going to let it go.. Robert had to pull his jaw apart. Today he had it out with a garden sign....the sign lost :( He barks insensibly at a scooter that is not moving and parked up against the corner. He's still humping the garden/patio furniture.He allows me to take his food away.. but he continues to jump up in the air when he sees me with his food bowl and I have to quite him down before he eats..I can put medicine in his eyes, bath him, he let's Melissa (dog groomer ) clip his nails, twice now, no problems. He can run like the wind and all of the sudden will plop down and refuse to walk, later jumping up in the air to latch on to his leash. He attacks every dog he meets and avoids the one truly crazy dog on the block.... so Tyson is not that fierce or brave.. because with the one true dog that will fight back he avoids.

Tyson was adopted and doing great in his new home when some bad news just came in. Tyson's new mommie and daddy have been chosen to be missionaries and are scheduled to leave the country very soon. They are torn and heartbroken about this decision, but regretfully have to give up Tyson. They report that he has been a wonderful dog and a joy to have around. It's sad and unfortunate that Tyson has to leave his home once again, but Adopt-A-Bull is determined to find him another loving family. While we are in the process of looking for an adoptive home, we need an immediate foster home for Tyson's return. Ty does best as an only dog (cats unknown), no small children, and some one with plenty of time to play with him. If you can help with Tyson, please contact us ASAP. Thank you!

This is a previous update and current photos from Tyson's mom:

Alan and I are enjoying having Tyson around. He's such a good boy and very lovable. He loves to play and of course, sleep. The new food we are giving him is working out well. His skin isn't nearly as pink and he rarely scratches now. He's also gained 5 pounds. I'm sending some pictures. Take care!

...'cause today I'z gettin' adowpted!"

After a long recovery from demodex mange and a serious heart worm infection, Tyson is now healthy and finally going to his forever home. He has come a long way and is looking and feeling great. Good luck Tyson, you deserve a family of your own!

"Gwood bye foster mommie Blanca, tank yew for takin' gwood cares of me, I lub yew!"

Tyson's favorite time of the day is breakfast time!

Yum Yum! This grub is good!

Gotta make sure I don't miss any pieces!

Hey! I'm still hungry - give me more food mommy!

Oh Oh! I think a piece got lost in the grass....

What!?!?!? No more food, this is what I think of that!

Tyson had his one month re-check with the vet since his first mild oral dose of heartworm treatment. His blood work and over all health was good enough to start his first shot of the strong heartworm treatment. Even though his mange can't be treated with Ivermectin because it will interfere with his heartworm treatment, the vet said he can have Mitaban dips instead. So he got his first mange dip followed by his first heartworm shot. He is recovering well and is acting like his normal energetic self. In four to six weeks he'll go back for two more heartworm shots and that should complete the treatment. In the mean time he will continue weekly dips for his mange. A couple more months and Tyson should be heavier, hairier, healthier, and on his way to a forever home!

"What's going on back there?"

"I'm getting bored...let's see what's up here"

"I guess I'll settle down and wait like a good boy"

One of Tyson's favorite days is BATH DAY! Every week he gets a bath with medicated shampoo to help with his skin. He loves bath day so much because of all the pampering he gets. He tolerates all the rinsing and shampooing...but gets bored waiting around for ten minutes while the special shampoo sits. So foster mommy has to find new ways to keep him occupied. (especially since he's figured out how to open the shower door!) This time it was an empty soap bottle. He flipped and flopped it all over the place, sliding around like a goof-ball. He even insisted on keeping it after his shower and proudly strutted around with it. That was until his most favorite thing came out... the towel! He loves nothing more than to be wrapped up in a towel and fumble around trying to stuff it in his mouth! He can get carried away though and the towel has to be saved from becoming shredded little pieces. Amazingly he also doesn't mind be blow-dried with the hair dryer. Well of course it doesn't take long to dry the little bit of fuzz that he has. Complete with ear cleaning and nail trimming, this boy looks forward to his trip to the bullie spa!
