![]() ANDY
Aug 2008: When our thirteen-year-old labrador, Clifford, died in February 2008, we thought he would be our first and only dog. But we soon missed having canine companionship. We had heard about the Utah/Idaho Vizsla Rescue organization in Salt Lake City through a friend at work who had successfully adopted a Vizsla a few months earlier. When Janet went to go meet Andy he was exactly as Rebecca, his foster mom, described him, and it was love at first sight. He came to live with us in April, and after an initial mishap where he ate two loaves of our favorite bread that had been sitting on the kitchen counter, he has become a beloved member of our family. He loves to point at birds, take long walks, ride in the car, bask in the sun and never lets us too far out of his sight. He initially was thought to be a 'special needs" dog as he had been noted to have seizures, but he has been seizure free since he arrived four months ago.
Update May 2009: Andy has really settled in beautifully. We did notice that it took him at least six months to totally relax. Now a year after living with us, he no longer follows us around like a shadow, though he still likes to know where we are in the house and hang out with us. He is still seizure free off medicines, happy and healthy. He is incredibly smart, and lovable, and just is a perfect match for our family.
